Reply to comment by ziq in [OC] "No Ethical Consumption" is a Scapegoat: Against Collectivism, Towards Anarchy [Proof readers needed] by ziq
When someone is vegan, other people are inspired by it and also go vegan
Ideally yes. But veganism's worst ally is often vegans with their self-righteous moralisms, snootiness etc.
I've talked to a lot of people about veganism but for the most part I can't say I've inspired anybody to do the same.

That's more of a white yuppie problem than a vegan problem. You don't see Hindus acting like they're hot shit for abstaining from meat. The way those vegans act is no different than white communists or white hippies or white atheists or white etc. It's all ideology.
I'm still going to make all the changed you suggested btw, I actually haven't been happy with this piece at all so it's hard to get around to working on it when I don't even like it.

One more thing is that I don't think the word "scapegoat" is right. Probably something more like 'cop-out' works.
