Welcome to humanity, I guess. We're full of contractions and no matter your opinion, someone will hate you for it.
I wouldn't worry too much about it and just focus on your own beliefs first. You'll never start a conversation with someone or change their opinion if you only tell them how they are wrong. And I'm not just trying to single you out. In fact, the people you are complaining about do the same thing. As soon as someone's beliefs are put into questions they will do anything to defend it no matter how irrational it is and will even contradict themselves just to prove that one belief.
As an example, unless you're a straight up piece of shit or a bigot I can't find a reason to actually support innocent people getting killed or hurt. But if someone supported a person/people before shit got worse, they'll try and justify it and believe there must be a reason. It's kinda like a toxic relationship. Someone will stay in a relationship with someone for years with abuse, but because they love them they'll try and justify it and believe they must have deserved it. It's really easy to see shit from the outside, but from the inside you want to believe there is a reason and that you are right. No matter what. Because if you're wrong, what do you even stand for?
Counter argument! Saying you like to eat cake will probably not give you hate from sane people.
Assuming you mean a cake that involves eggs, milk and/or butter, I'd bet you could find some vegans who would be angry.
And if you made it with fake eggs, milk and/or butter, you would make even more people angry!
Nah, I like using chickpea water, oat milk and margarine for my baking.
Then you are not who I am talking about.
NGL I do think less of people who eat cake if I'm honest. Not like super openly and I'd never use that as judgement, but gut feeling-wise? Yeah
Marie Antoinette would like a word with you ...
That's fucking disgusting. Ground up murdered plants and chicken ovulation. I hate you.
See, you love me!
