Whenever Hasan would press him, or make analogies to the US, Asmon would simply state that he thought \"Parts of US culture is bad too.\" as an out, but he would never make the same sweeping generalizations about US culture, yet felt completely comfortable to do so about Arabs & Muslims.\n\nIt was disgusting to listen to.

We know this because Arabs kept extensive court records and we can physically see with our own eyes how rare this was.\n\nThis does not mean there weren't problems or reactionaries, or periods of regression, but this is a beautiful vibrant culture with a long history of progressive development that Asmongold completely dismissed.\n\nAsmongold, from his air-conditioned comfortable home sitting in an imperialist country that routinely destroys other peoples homes, hand-waved thousands of years of human development as if it was nothing, and then used some regressive modern regimes (created directly and indirectly by his own government) to play defense for Israel's genocide. \n\nThe conversation with him was extremely painful and sad, and as my friends and family in Lebanon feels the weight of American bombs, I find it all so abhorrent and unfair.

He's helped me to become a good person.\n\nThis community has been a beacon of growth for me and I'm super grateful.\n\nBut on my journey I eventually stumbled upon the issue of veganism and I donno, I kinda - following a lot of the logic I learned here - thought that vegans were right in a lot of what they were saying. \nSo I decided to properly check out all of their arguments and watch vegan documentaries and really open myself up to the possibility that vegans might be right, and long story short- I decided that they were, and now I'm a vegan.\n\nAnd I donno.. It's like now that I am, it's like I'm seeing things from a whole new perspective, and I feel like all of the arguments people here make for humans, can be applied to animals, and it just feels like a whole lot of people are preaching about how we should be better, while being complicit in one of the biggest horrors that exists.\n\nI feel like.. Like you know how we call what's going on in Gaza a genocide? Because.. well because it is a genocide. But people who don't get that accuse us of using inflammatory language? \nBut then vegans will say that what's happening to animals is an animal holocaust. And I feel like that's true. They're literally confined in cages for their entire lives, and then killed. Pigs are literally gassed to death. Like... You don't get more holocaust than that. \nBut then Hasan dismisses veganism and thinks that vegans are being extra with their views...\n\nI don't know. \nJust like how it's difficult for you guys to be part of democratic spaces that are in support of what Israel is doing; I too find it hard to be part of this space when you guys are in support of what the meat industry is doing.\n\nI don't if that sounds dumb? But that's how I feel and I'd just like to know what you guys think about this issue.\n\nI'm not really looking to argue or convince anyone to go vegan, but I am wondering why people in this community aren't as a whole opposed to animal farming, and in particular- factory farming. \nIt's just like- if farming animals causes harm to animals, and there are viable alternatives, then how do you justify eating animal products?\n\nTl;dr: Why aren't you vegan?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're not going to like my answer.
