Extremism definitely pushes reasonable people away from any group.

Humans are generalizers at our core. We will assume everyone in a group is like the worst member of a group and move on without a conscious thought on the matter.

    So the extremism of the meat industry is pushing people away from eating meat?

    I'm still waiting to see this play out.

    I know you're arguing in bad faith, but let's pretend you're not:

    Seeing as you weren't aware, the "default" for most cultures is meat-eating. So most people automatically start life with "us" being meat-eaters and "them" being non-meat-eaters.

    I'm still going to call out meateaters for being obnoxious and pushy, and cite it as a reason that I won't eat meat simply to illustrate how ridiculous they are being.

    I don't respect double standards and do not feel bound to them.
