If you say vegans are cruel and akin to terrorists, what would you say of carnists?
In my humble opinion, even the most intellectual, talented and aware persons can be awfully ignorant of the fundamental precept of veganism i.e. compassion and non-violence. So the people who keep bashing veganism need to educate themselves that how ignorant are they when they show their contempt for veganism.
But it has became a fad to put vegans and veganism in bad light. The latest to join this brigade is the talented information security expert, bitcoin enthusiast and the author Mr. Andreas M Antonopoulos. In the recently held Blockchain Meet-up at Berlin, he said that vegans are among the top ten most horrifying things. Here is a 2 minute clip of the same:
Actually, intellectual and talented personalities like these completely miss the fundamentals of a noble and a sustainable cause like veganism and they start bad mouthing it. I seriously feel people like Antonopoulos need some load balancing on their top floor servers for a smooth and error free functioning before making such reckless and stupid comments.
How do you feel about it guys? If you feel that what Antonopoulos did was something unfortunate and wrong, do express your opinion directly to Antonopoulos, so that he does not repeat such things in future and honour what needs to be honoured. Here is his twitter handle:
If you are an animal rights activist or a veganist and he happens to be visiting your city, do take some time out to meet him in person and educate him on veganism. Here you can check his schedule of events:
