I'd love to eat a bacon and beef sandwich in front of her just to see if she'd go into Ranting SJW Mode.
It's funny you should mention that.
The term “carnist” is usually used as sarcasm and/or an insult to someone who is purposely being 1) an asshole and 2) anti-vegan.
These refer to people who say stupid shit like “Lol vegetarian is Indian for bad hunter!/1/1” and “What about teh crop pickers?!/1/” and “Vegans are so pushy MMM BACON MMM I LOVE ALL OF THESE MEAT ADS” and “Lol I know I can look all of this shit up on my own but I won’t so I’ll harass vegans”.
"Carnist" is often to point out to these folks how stupid and fucked up they are being. Of course these people are omnivores since they probably at least eat plants like potatoes and bread (mostly or completely plant-based), etc.
It’s understandable why a lot of vegans don’t like the use the word “carnist” - again, it being used in an offensive manner and it being inaccurate (again, omnivore is actually correct here).
So let’s put it this way:
If someone is calling you (an omnivore) a carnist, it’s probably because you are being a rude piece of shit who refuses to listen to other opinions or refuses to do their own damn research.
So basically, vegans are never assholes, and if they are, you deserve it; if vegans insult nonvegans, it's okay, but if nonvegans insult vegans, they're wrong; and if you're anti-vegan, you deserve to be insulted straight up.
You also deserve to be insulted if you aren't convinced and don't agree with vegans.
And in another post, she apparently thinks being poor isn't an excuse because "poor vegans and vegans of color exist". And also, "there are multiple cultures that survived on a mostly vegetarian diet, and most of the people in those cultures were poor!". You mean cultures that have spent generations adapting to a diet that's dependant on the resources available to them in their area, knowing what can and can't be eaten in their area, which by your own admission is "mostly vegetarian", meaning that it's
not veganism?
