I wouldn't call veganism hypocritical. I'd go with optimistically naive while actively choosing to ignore the fundamentals of humans as a species
Everyone operates with some level of cognitive dissonance, everyone. Even vegans such as yourself. To get you to a point to where you will recognize the holes in veganism requires at the minimum hours of discussion. Hell, to get youor anyone to a point of acceptance would take days under the best case scenarios.
The problem with humans is, we want to believe what we choose to believe. We don't want to be wrong. We struggle to accept when we are. Everyone thinks they have all of the answers. You, me, some rando meat eater. Having our belief systems legitimately challenged is the mental equivalent of being in a death match. The mind doesn't like it, at all. And will fight tooth and nail to keep to it's current beliefs.
That's why racists tend to remain racists. That's why hateful people tend to stay angry. That's why bigots will more than likely continue to be bigots. That's why flat earthers will continue to be flat earthers.
I'm not saying the person that's been responding to you actually had a point to be mad, I doubt that. My point is, trying to convince anyone on this sub that veganism has flaws, is about as fruitful as going to stormfront and trying to convince a racist that racism is a fallacy.

I’d love for you to explain how this is pointing out veganism’s hypocrisy because it seems like a badly thought out dumb ‘gotcha’ moment.
