    This seems like rage bait in its entirety. Gatekeeping that you can't be left if you aren't a vegan as well.

    Nah, the meme says people who believe in meat eating (carnists) can be leftist on other issues, but they just can't bring themselves to be progressive about animals.

    Which is 100% bullshit.

    I used to eat meat once every blue moon. Then I got a diagnosis that my body has a super hard time retaining iron and plant-based iron sources are more difficult for the body to process, so I need to eat more red meat.

    I want that meat to be sourced without animal harm - ideally through lab-grown stuff. But that's just not available anywhere where I live.

    I pretty much gave up on trying to please people for this reason. There's always something they find flawed about you.

    It's literally impossible to please everyone.

    This is why i try as hard as i can to phrase things as "i really think you should consider not doing XYZ" or if it's really severe "So: you doing XYZ is objectively quite shitty, i hope you can accept that and be motivated to stop doing it because it makes you feel bad, but also i don't hate you for it it just makes me sad"

    Like with veganism we should all eat as little meat as we can. Eating meat is bad in so many ways but obviously it can be quite difficult to stop, so i don't judge people for eating meat but i will judge people for ignoring that it is bad and refusing to even consider changing their habits, just try to eat less meat or at least switch to meats that are less bad.
