    I wouldn’t say their opposition is always bad faith neo-nazis, but the anti-vegan/anti-PETA movement definitely has a few bad seeds they should be burning out. There is no reason to combine ethical meat-eating with neoconservativism. It’s bloody stupid.

      Lmao why is this comment downvoted but the one saying that most people who dislike PERA are neo-nazis is upvoted? Tells you a lot about how out of touch people on here are.

          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.
