    An ally gladly cooks vegan, endorses restaurants with good alternatives, eat vegan cuisine.

    Everyone has different struggles and priorities. Some people fly, some drive a car, some use LLMs etc. Doesn’t mean they’re evil. For me being vegan is really really easy, and I know that’s not the case for everyone. But I know a lot of people who eat very little dairy and meat because they believe in the cause.

      How can you say that cooking a nice meal makes up for killing people I love? That’s insulting. Veganism isn’t about me. It doesn’t matter how they treat me. Treating me well or treating me poorly does not make someone an ally, what matters is how they treat animals.

      Someone who is plant based but does not do activism or doesn’t identify as vegan or something, that could be an ally. Someone who murders vulnerable individuals and then tells me they support my cause is literally the oppressor.
