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.
