Living to their beliefs is not a problem. Them trying to impose their beliefs however.... I still remember a guy who described my meal as disgusting and mumbled something about murder.

"impose their beliefs"

It seems like you confuse it with religion. It's not about beliefs, it's about whether or not we find certain actions in our society to be morally wrong. Either you can justify your actions morally or you can't. For example: "Beating women is fine". Can it be justified morally? No. Can you prove through logic that it's wrong? Yes, easily, by simply pointing out that trivial reasons like personal pleasure aren't justification to bring suffering upon other individuals. If you'd, however, insist on beating women, how would you call that?

Nice example of how not to communicate. But what has this to do with what we're talking about?

I am not confusing anything. Veganism don't have any rational basis and it is therefore a belief.

It's funny considering how eating meat and using animal products is normalized in society, that when a vegan states a differing opinion (that also happens to be a fact) it's automatically them imposing their beliefs on people. I guess it's a symptom of the omnivore's cognitive dissonance activating for a moment.

Would it be acceptable for someone calling you a murderer for eating meat, wearing leather shoes or driving petrol car?

[-] debil@lemmy.world 0 points 16 minutes ago

Maybe it's stretching the word meaning a bit but I'd definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it's harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.

So yes, it's not polite, but acceptable.

be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat.

🤦‍♂️ Not a religion imposing their beliefs at all.
