Seems to be a pattern with human thinking. Plenty of noble causes, some recent and very very public, get tarnished because of select bad actors. I don't know why but so many of us seem to look for reasons to say that X isn't a problem.

Whether or not i agree with (loud) vegans shouldn't affect the idea that our treatment of animals in large scale slaughter is abysmal. By nearly any measuring stick.

Why are we so prone to write off large, obvious movements? I see it so frequently.. yet i look for a reason to not hate the people that write-off, because it feels like so, so many.

Every time ethics are involved some people can feel judged, feel guilty and project it into anger. Cynicism becomes an easy coping mechanism.

One example is people stating that they don't care about something. (If you don't care, why are you spending time saying it?)

Another is accusing entire crowds engaged in causes of being hypocritical or egotistical.

...then social media stepped in created a huge echo chamber.
