Most vegans/vegetarians I know IRL are chill af. Online veganism is sometimes a whole different thing. Plenty of vegans saying if you’re not vegan you’re not a leftist, or if you’re not vegan why are you even commenting about Palestine because clearly you don’t care about genocide. I’ve only seen 2 posts like that on my year+ on lemmy, but I just ignore them. I’m sure some leftist looking for leftist infighting saw that and was like, vegans are the new MLs/stalinists/anarchists/proto-anti-natural-primitivist or whatever.
