    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.
