> any philosophy that imputes guilt upon those who have no knowledge of the treatment of animal products that they consume is a psychopaths game of accusation of complicity without proof of complicity
This is rational and I don't disagree. There is just as much of a divide between vegans as there is within other communities.
However I would argue the average consumer has ample knowledge and awareness to the ongoing issues. Being misinformed is not an excuse for complicity either. I wouldn't attack someone for simply consuming animal products myself, but instead offer plenty of suggestions for more ethical consumption.
As per your last point, I do blame those who do it, and choose to campaign against them, often to my own dismay. I didn't know how you consume until you told me. I respect your choice to consume on your own terms- not beholden to evil companies. That is why I still use Nostr, despite being a major contrarian in this space. It is mostly due in part to consolidated wealth and non-sovereign agriculture that we have seen a major decline in balanced food accessibility and more organic consumables, such as textiles and devices.
I encourage people to vote with their $ if they want to see change.
