You can just post the source with calling them names... Incompetent seems pretty harsh for fucking social media lol. Cool off, touch grass, deep breaths.

It's when religous practice violates existing laws. Pretty obvious. Is he breaking the law? If not- leave him alone. If he is, investigate convict and follow sentencing guidelines.

In reality not treating it with norms would immediately give Trump ammo to torpedo the entire thing and rightfully call it unfair. You can argue for reform but unilaterally imposing changes to how the process works for a single individual, during the investigation, is not a thing.

I suppose I can get behind this distinction. Veganism is a philosophy that results in following a vegan diet. And so I am saying his diet approaches a vegan diet, I don't know the motivations for such- so I can agree that perhaps it isn't motivated by a vegan philosophy. But it is not debatable that his diet is "almost vegan" in nature (it is definitely much closer to vegan than an average Western diet for example) even if their philosophy may not be. That being said- trying to belittle people for a lesser form harm reduction when vegan philosophy is literally a harm reduction practice seems counterintuitive and elitist.

He said almost vegan. As in not vegan but closer to it than other diets. Why are you so concerned with not using vegan as the far end of a spectrum of diets? It makes you look incredibly performative.

I'm not arguing that what you did was vegan. I'm challenging his assertion that you can't describe something as approaching veganism without meeting the threshold of actual veganism. It's weird and gatekeepy.

For someone so keyed in on definitions you seem to have missed the definition of the word 'almost'. Things can be more similar to one thing than another. For instance using fish sauce in dishes vs easting a hamburger. But thank you for sharing your apparently very binary view of the world.

Of course it is. The concept is harm reduction. If you aren't able to make the entire leap-fine, reduce your reliance on animal products instead. Gatekeeping and belittling people ain't it bud.

I assume he means it should be based on a rubric or some other marking scheme rather than something more subjective that can be arbitrarily shifted to meet quotas.

It's the Internet so I'd say 1) this definitely didn't happen and 2) it was written this way specifically to bait engagement.
