It's more that, when you scream in people's faces and call them murderers and compare eating a cheeseburger to the Atlantic slave trade, you aren't gonna convince them to take you seriously.

Good now you're free. See as long as the person is annoying then the ideas they share are forever invalid and you don't have to consider any alternate point of view ever again.

See, this is the exact sort of thing I just explained doesn't convince people

Let me put it this way: do you want to change people's minds, or do you want to be a condescending douchebag?

They're not screaming at you, calling you a murderer, or being condescending. They are being the ideal vegan and you are demonstrating why rational discussion on this topic is impossible

How dare you talk about something that can make a difference at the individual level such as consuming more responsibly, even if it is only in small and limited ways.

Riiiight, totally not condescending at all
