I get it, I really do. I’ve read Peter Singer. I’ve gone through the arguments, the logic.
You’re not wrong…ish, in my opinion. The scope of harm is horrific. What is done to animals in industrial agriculure is indefensible.
That being said, I find a lot of things indefensible. It’s impossible to avoid being a hypocrite in any way at all times. So I’m a hypocrite. I eat meat, way way less than average but I do. I’m aware it makes me a hypocrite. But I’ll never buy that it makes me a monster.
And if it does make me a monster? Then Schindler was a monster for not saving every Jew? Or is a better way to look at it that he did the best he could and he saved a lot of lives, certainly more than the average person.
I appreciate that vegans feel extremely strongly about animal rights. That’s good, we need passionate people in lots of different areas, advocating for the right things. But you cannot expect everyone to apply the same weights to every part of the picture.
You, in your specific circumstances, your environment, your socioeconomic status, your childhood trauma or lack thereof…YOU have taken all of the information you’ve received in your life and run it through your circumstances and the result is a vegan.
Someone else gets more of certain types of information, less of others, different circumstances, and you get a Greenpeace activist. A black panther. A doctor without borders.
Throw all that away…at the end of the day, the cold hard logic your view relies on also makes something else clear: an individual aggressive/militant vegan likely causes more animal suffering than the average meat eater. By communicating in one dimensional extremes, you’re basically guaranteed to alienate more people than you successfully convert. How many more plant based meals might some people have eaten if the vegan stereotype wasn’t what it is?
Think it through.

Have you tried not doing exactly what you’re accusing them of doing?
Everybody needs to move away from the extremes, both sides, all of us.
Not all vegans are militant. Not all meat eaters are blood lusting demons.

Not vegan, but hate the idea that they’re made fun of for trying to spread awareness. I’m not including the militant vegans here. They do more damage than they fix.
I’m sure some people do it from a high horse but vegans are far from the only type of people that do that. And the message is absolutely important, besides the cruelty part, eating animals is a huge part of the climate change problem.
