    The fact that they aren’t should tell you everything that you need to know.

      So I should discard my own far-left views because I see a far-right group with that one same bullet point?

      Let’s try it on you. Here’s some info about growth of veganism in the alt-right. Ready to support small time ranchers yet?

        I don’t like veganism because it’s libshit, personal responsibility bullshit that tricks people into thinking they’re making a difference. Am I even remotely surprised that moral superiority shit is taking off in the alt-right? Not at all. The instant they started going after minority groups for eating traditional foods is the moment it stopped even having the façade of being a leftist movement. It’s basically diet greenwashing.

          Frankly, I think it’s just an honest mistake. I wouldn’t call it “libshit”. Veganism carries all of the hallmarks of the things I dislike about the Religious Right, religious zeal bleeding into policy decisions until “I think it’s immoral” becomes “the world will fall apart without it”.

          I see no difference between that and the “sex before marriage ruins families” attitudes, or some middle-eastern countries’ reasons for banning alcohol. Etc.
