To be clear, I believe vegan/vegetarian is the morally correct position even though I do eat meat. My point is that if we worked together we could cause more good in the world than we do by fighting.
The vegan communities, in my experience, are pretty spiky. Even amongst vegans there’s a huge rift, like they’re competing on whose version is most ethical. It’s turned me off actually interacting with them as I find my own balance of reducing suffering into this world.
I think it’s a general issue of any community that’s organized around a belief and/or got ousted by society for too long I guess. Of course there’ll always be people who are like this from the beginning, perhaps due to trauma, bad upbringing, bad education or whatever.
Gotta imagine a militant vegan bible-belt Linux FOSS-Bro… oh my god…
