I’m my experience it’s about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they “never shut up about it” vs vegans who actually never shut up about it. So a vegan wanted to show she could climb Mt Everest. She did it, then she died of acute altitude sickness during the descent, something completely unrelated to her diet. Her husband, also vegan, lived. She became one of hundreds of people who have died in that climb, all of whom wanted to prove they could do it. Just let people live their life how they want to. Heaping scorn on someone who died trying to prove themselves isn’t cool.

These kinds of takes have legs because the capitalist parasite class really does value profit a lot more than your life or mine. When a drug company finds a cure for blindness and decides to charge almost a million dollars for it, you can’t really argue that they have your best interest in mind, or even a shred of human decency. That said, the take posted is not how it really works. If they discovered a drug that cured asthma in 3 days they’d patent it and sell it for a million dollars. They’ve already done it for other ailments. No one can argue they wouldn’t.
