Certainly, the latter is the situation I'm referring to. You are born somewhere to someone and you are claimed, where does choice come into it? Anyway, this is just someone trying to Google themselves out of something and coming across silly. At least they may read a well curated Wikipedia page.

Very often with these articles the quotes describe local beauty and I picture some undisturbed natural habitat but then I go look up the plans and it's some grass fields with or without cows/sheep.

I don't really think I eat almonds (and dont see why vegans would eat more of them) and don't see how that comes into the exploitation between an animal raised for meat and the person who eats that meat. Surely a load of animals are farmed by these same exploited people? I don't see the link.

You almost immediately insulted me and then said I was friends with people who use slurs. That is my complaint. I don't care about your views on whatever debate you think were happening. You are a bully by the definition of the word. Again, what did I do to you prior to that? Nothing.

You keep implying things I've not said are bullying I have said are bullying. My statement on your age is to do with how much patience I have with you. I can't see how it would be ageist and assume your just using that carelessly as another stick to swing.

I told you clearly what I was referring to that was bullying. I've never done anything to you and you chose to repeatedly insult me because I'm vegan and you can. Now you insult me more for standing up to you. Tofu is generally firm. You sound very young, just apologise and delete.

What sort of good faith does someone who turns up and immediately says one of the worst things I've ever been accused of to me require? Are you blind to what you've done? For what? Just wanted to shout at a vegan? What did I do to you?

I am not dictating that. People it would affect directly, including those I live with, have explained it to me as well as various seminars and training I've been a part of professionally. I can link you further reading, it's not a me thing.

I plainly and clearly explained. Please don't just make up stuff and stick a question mark on it. You browse some persons post you follow. You see a vegan. You, without thinking about it, make a specific accusation about me. Not a general statement. You said I am friends with people who use slurs.

Being accused of being in some bluesky slur brigade now. Online self proclaimed leftists are easily the most gross anti vegans. A right winger will just post pictures of bacon at you or whatever.

I am referring, clearly, to your baseless statement I am friends with people who use the r word. I do not seek your appreciation and do not wish to hear about it.

And to call someone ableist while trying to be the arbitrator of what is and is not offensive to others! You don't get to do that just because you've spotted a vegan to attack!

You read through some post by someone you follow, saw a chance to try and bully a vegan and jumped at it. I don't know who you are talking about and they are not my friend. I think that it is disgusting to not retract your accusation against me and apologise. You don't know me at all.

Ok so that was not a statement in the post you said I didn't understand. So just a pointless entry to make disgusting accusations about me that you now double down on. You are a bully. Leave me alone.

Dictionaries are where word meaning are kept. That's more of a hint for you.
