Or they just eat it because it tastes good and they subconsciously are trying to commit socially acceptable suicide through heart attack because they don’t care about living longer but just enjoying sensual pleasures until they croak, regardless of who they hurt in the process. That is how they are trained to be from birth.
No. It isn’t. I’ve seen it, personally, from people in my real life, in person. My mom’s boyfriend, one of my sister’s partners, like half the people my dad invited to his wedding. Carnists love to brag about how much meat they eat. It absolutely is performative for quite a lot of them.
I even have a theory as to why you haven’t noticed it (which I admit I could be wrong about). Here’s my theory: you’re not vegan. Just like cis people often fail to recognize when they’re performing gender, carnists often fail to realize that they eat performatively, because it’s “normal” and “everyone” acts the same.
Agreed. I’ve known these people too and I’m unfortunately related to some of them.
But for that particular person you replied to, that can’t possibly be because “LE STEAK IS LE DELICIOUS” and anything you say contrary to that is “EMBARRASSING” and you’re “TOO ONLINE” if you disagree with them.
The internet and the offline world are not that separated anymore. It’s almost impossible to function in contemporary society without an online presence.
Being that mad about a perceived threat to your le delicious le steaks is embarrassing to me, as is being this very online about what you are accusing everyone else of being very online about.
She’s literally been on an anti-vegan crusade for days now. Her comments keep getting removed but nothing changes and no one’s threatening her with anything more serious than that. Really sucks.

What was this moment, then?
And where did those “for every animal you don’t eat, I will eat three” shirts come from?
Some of it is conscious performative assholery.
That shit is a tiny sliver of hyper online weirdos

What is your goal here, anyway?
To convince my comrades to make better arguments so they’re not so embarrassing.

comrade, you look like the mad and online one.
I don’t play the “u r very online u looser” game.
It’s too bad you’re making it this personal and vengeful over… what? Carnism?

I admit Im not invested in it as an Ideological issue, although im beginning to see that it is. I’m not doing well right now, at all.
