Perhaps those 70% think their personality will disappear when they stop the meat-eating?
Carnism is very strong and meat is linked to masculinity by society in an absolute absurd wayโฆ

I am a paying subscriber of several years for tutamail and I am also an antispeciesist vegan
I like tutamail because of the commitment to renewable energy[1] and quantum resistant encrypted private emails; put the two together and there is nothing else like it I can think of.
I have a suggestion - I noticed that the junkmail folder is called "Spam" and features an icon of a bug.
"Spam" is a speciesist phrase as I outline in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115878036888467050
and "Bug" to symbolize a pest/error is speciesist as I explained in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115970417941403799
My suggestion is to rename this folder to "Junkmail" or equivalent and change the icon to perhaps a crossed circle icon or an exclamation mark or a halt hand gesture or if you wanted to be jokey about it a toilet
If there was a more appropriate place to submit this feedback I couldn't find it
I'm reposting something from a couple of months ago to add a list of better words to say at the end The word "spam" meaning to flood a place with unwanted messages comes from a carnist joke made by Monty Python in which the capitalist product Spam is mythologized as an archetypal unwanted worthless repetition. A murder victims body reduced to a literal throw-away joke depicting their mangled corpse as nothing more than a nuisance. The company that killed them "Spam company" is remembered more readily than the victim some alternative words you could consider: slop (n.), flood (v.) gibberish (n.) junkmail (n.) solicit (v.) solicitations (n.) offtopic (adj.) disrupt (v.) disruption (n.) #Speciesism #Carnism #MontyPython #Spam
"I got a disease the other day and I was going to go to the doctor until I realised its the circle of life and death and decomposition is a natural part of the food chain. It would be ridiculous to go and stop all disease in nature that would be bad for the environment because it would cause overpopulation. So I'm going to do the natural and sustainable thing and let myself die"
This is how a lot of carnists sound.
Life and death of other animals is in our hands, and we have a unique responsibility to wield that power with care and selflessness

I know that I care about the killing of animals and I also don't believe that investing in meat alternatives is the best way to save them
It is possible for someone to just genuinely disagree with you about a strategy, especially towards a goal that you have no personal interest towards.
I fight speciesism the root of carnism.
My activism is not limited to discussions but it would always be a bigger part that investing in technology
Imagine if you told a slavery abolitionist they need to invest more in automated machinery to change the economic reality and make slavery unprofitable - Firstly it wouldn't change fast enough and there would be no guarantee you could even do it ever, secondly it wouldnt address the core of the rot which in this and my case would be bigoted discrimination
I hear this a lot from carnists "I have no problem with veganism" and its like a kind of faux middle ground whereby because you respect my position I have to respect yours.
Simply no. Oppressing other creatures is not something I tolerate, and I really don't care about your approval of my position on that
Oh you don't object to me not killing innocent defenseless creatures? That's big of you.
