I’ve had literally dozens of people thank me for helping them change their lives and going vegan because of stupid memes when I helped run the reddit vegan circlejerk and doing real life, in person activism. The fact is no one thing works and we know, from experience, “catching more flies with honey” doesn’t work for everyone. I didn’t decide to go vegan because vegans were nice to me. I went vegan because someone made me confront cognitive dissonance.

The difference is that I don’t think my method is the only way that works and I don’t tell Earthling Ed or the majority of vegan activists that are catching flies with agave that they are wrong
