Don't do this holier than thou "I'm just helping people by being a massive douche to them" routine.

If you truly cared about the cause, you'd do anything to convert people to it. Including (*gasp*) being nice.
You ramble on and on about antinatalism and veganism but make no effort whatsoever to actually get more people to partake.

It would make people much, much more open about them. Not here (you've already established yourself as someone with a shitty attitude) but on other forums and in IRL. That old saying about flies and vinegar is one of the most accurate idioms in our language.

Maybe Verb, maybe for a week for talk with us, and dont try to argue. You see something you heavily disagree with, leave it and find another thread.It might enlighten you a bit.

I think English words - meaning words that come from Old English or from Old Norse, are the best we have. They are easy to read, speak, and on the whole understand. If writers begin to get away from this widely-held belief, that somehow words of outside stock are better than the ones we've had for thousands of years, we will be in a much better spot. Indeed, it's not hard at all to make your meaning known without having to fall back on outside words. One must only look to the words I have chosen, and see that you understood what I meant without having to think hard, wear-out your mind, or, as often happens, guess the meaning of a word. We have been bequeathed from our forebears a great richness; one that we should hold dear and shield from those outside bodies that threaten its freedom.
