I was a vegetarian for 7 years. I had some odd problems with food that I couldn’t figure out, that’s how it started, then I decided eating meat was just kind of weird. I got all sorts of shit about this over the years from people who apparently were offended or threatened by it. One friend’s wife told me one day “Ooohh so you do that because [withering mocking tone] you care so much about all the little animals?” Like… there would be something wrong with that if I did??
Yep, that sounds pretty on-brand for the types I was thinking of.
They react so poorly to the mere existence of people who they see as other/weird that just your choice of diet not only annoys them but somehow personally insults them.
I mean how many things could we list that drive conservatives to “they are attacking/destroying our way of life!” just by existing or seeking equality. The paranoia and persecution complexes just follow from there.
It’s sadly all too common for the conservatives I know to downright brag about how little regard they have for animals.
