    When the staunchly leftist community has more vegan users then average (who would’ve guessed???)

      Actually, it’s quite surprising and disappointing how most leftists (or ostensibly left-leaning people) correctly shape their political views around being anti-exploitation and pro-liberation, only to immediately become reactionaries when it comes to ending animal exploitation.

        Yeah it’s actually really funny how many hardcore leftists turn into neoliberals the second a vegan walks into the room.

        I was more referring to like, given that most vegans tend to be leftist, any community that has a lot of leftists is probably going to have more than a few vegans.

            Would you say the same thing if the posts were protesting a different issue?

            Pro-environment memes get posted here all the time and nobody complains about them, even though they almost certainly outweigh the vegan ones.

            Or maybe you need to recognize when a message is only going to continue to grow, and get louder. Get with the times.

          No, they should not. What the fuck is wrong with you?

          when people stop being exploited then I’ll worry about the animals.

            Then that’s just one more reason to go vegan, since animal ag workers are some of the most exploited people. Plus, animal ag industry is one of the top funders of the republican party. Supporting the exploitation and commodification of non-human animals is one of the best ways to just keep on supporting fascism in general, so congrats on that I guess.

            Go vegan and you’ll cut your grocery bill by up to 1/3rd. Give that money to charity. Now you’re actually acting on both issues instead of resorting to meaningless whataboutisms that help neither humans nor animals.

              go fuck yourself and stop assuming people don’t already know what’s best about their diets for themselves

                  Did the poor baby think their rude, unsolicited advice was going to be accepted with glee? Grow the fuck up.

                    Well, if you’ve ever wondered what side you would’ve been on during abolition, now you know.
