Just because you do not understand it does not mean it does not exist.
Pain is a human defined “experience” to specific stimuli.
You cannot state definitively that plants cannot experience something equivalent.

Even if this argument made any kind of sense then going vegan would still be the answer.
A plant based diet uses way less plants than a meat filled one because you get to skip the inefficient middleman of animals.
They’re not a weirdo and I’ll step up to defend them from your claim as such. They are passionate. I might disagree with their thoughts on plants not being our equal (or better), but I respect they are passionate.
I got a chuckle myself. Their response below was one of those “are they?” tests. Downvote a bunch of their stuff and see if they notice. I’ll take my ding for the low-ball move to rustle the feathers. The reveal is their care for fake internet points. They require positive feedback from the community to feel positive themselves.
You’re a better person that I am! I’ll stick with them being weirdos, with the caveat that most of us are weirdos in some way. Thank Buddha, because if everyone was “normal” it would be a boring state of affairs.

Plants feel pain.
Usually a discussion works by addressing the arguments the other person made.
I’m sorry, I must have missed where you had linked some scientific journals to indicate plants do not feel pain or are somehow inferior to “animals”.
I have to admire your tenacity at replying to the vegan weirdo. I’ve laughed at this thread and honestly hope it goes on for longer.
