      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.
