      Is that higher or lower than Level 5 veganism?

        Whatever the highest rank is.

        Arch- usually indicates the highest form possible without utter transcendence into a different form, or at least a, well, overarching rank of some sort. (Semantically related, but not etymologically, apparently. At least not directly. But I digress.)

        It is, after all, why the name of Arch Linux is what it is (so sayeth Wikipedia). The creator wanted it to be the best with no equal.

        An arch-vegan might be one best at not only avoiding animal-based produce but also convincing people to convert to veganism, as well as making normally well-adjusted vegans feel that they’re not being a good enough vegan.

    Neither.

    I tell them about the ethical supply chain that produces my Fairphone.

      Indeed. I used to have a circle of friends/acquaintances that had a huge number of vegans and vegetarians. I can honestly say I have encountered literally 0 vegans or vegetarians ever mention it unless food was being served. But if food is being served,I mean…you really can’t avoid having to tell everyone.

      On the other hand, I have witnessed a huge number of meat-eaters become insecurely defensive, aggressive, bullying, harrassing as soon as anybody mentions that they don’t eat meat.

      No, thank you.
      No, thanks.
      Nah, don’t want to have that.
      See the thing is I’m a vegan, so none of the things you’ve offered would work, and I don’t want to burden you, so it’s okay, I’ll have something on my way back.
      Yes, these chocolate biscuits aren’t vegan. Thanks for trying, but it’s okay, I’ll manage.

    Vegan when eating, Arch Linuxing when computing, communist when sharing, capitalist when investing, …

    The list knows no end. Why not just say what’s appropriate for each particular circumstance?

    Non-vegan Arch user here. Fun meme.

    With that out of the way, I tell whichever one best suits the context at hand. Most cases it’s neither.
