To OP, the intellectual argument is easy to accept and, like all intellectual arguments, very distant from action, in this case, not eating meat.

I'm not suggesting that you *want* to be vegan. But supposing you did, really you'd have to emotionally not want to eat meat, and the only way that might happen is if you watch a vegan documentary (e.g. "Dominion"). In other words, you have been convinced aesthetically.

Images are foundational to morality - 2 hours of images of slaughterhouse footage will sober you up, and you will start to approach the world with a greater seriousness and purpose rather than rollicking nihilism.

Fascism (using the term in the broadest sense, but also from without any particular system of morality [i.e. not pejoratively, but, I promise, analytically] - to mean the swan-song of the power) depends on denialism precisely because images of the oppressed, of the filth and horror of acts of cruelty in the viscera of the sufferer and suffering, always emotionally trump the glory of the oppressor and his dream. His dream, in its glory, is a repression of the filth of existence - understandably, for nor is it desirable to live amongst that filth - but romanticism collapses when we are talking about real instances of brutal violence which, once shown in their full image, are invariably clumsy and pathetic.
