You can, but you also open yourself up to criticism of your hypocrisy.

Right now, your cognitive dissonance is flaring up because you have to simultaneously criticize someone for contributing to a problem while contributing to it yourself.

I'm not even vegan, but I absolutely love watching meat-eaters squirm because it reinforces my notion that the average person is a complete idiot and should not be taken seriously.

    I'm very much aware of my hypocrisy, but I do my best in other ways to help.

    If people like OP are going to be dismissive of my efforts, then I guess they're free to think that — just like I'm free to think that kind of hate keeping is stupid.
