    Yeah, I think that’s kinda bullshit though, because there are plenty of things I refrain from myself due to ethical concerns but I don’t get righteous about with strangers.

    For example, I think pickup trucks are unethical (for most people), because they’re dangerous on roads and environmentally wasteful, but I don’t patrol parking lots seeking to start fights with people driving pickups.

    I personally think that factory farms are disgusting, so I only buy free-range eggs. But I don’t judge people who buy cheaper eggs.

    You can practice your own ethics without throwing it into people’s faces. And besides, that strategy almost never results in converts.
