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.
dont care what you eat but more than half my feed has been vegan protesting and im starting to get annoyed (yes i eat meat yes im trying to reduce my consumtion of said meat(it tastes bad)but ffs go post this shit in some steak subreddit where people will see it that should)
Or maybe you need to recognize when a message is only going to continue to grow, and get louder. Get with the times.
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.
thats a fair point ig
