      Wow another left wing group whose sole intent is to faction off into smaller sub groups and make them as toxic and hostile as possible to others. Seems like whatever it is that’s trying to bring down society has set its sights on these communities. I think a lot of people believed it was only the right how ate this stuff up. Shit is spreading faster and faster.

      Same stuff happened with the right prior to the last election. People would ignore these thinking it was silly foolishness and next thing you know these groups grew to something else . People who get into these groups always have more free time and less common sense then the rest and end up becoming the dominate voice across many platforms.

        Veganism doesn’t have a left or right bias on its own and I don’t think people who make veganism their identity in this way can be arbitrarily aligned like that.

          Veganism doesn’t have a left or right bias on its own

          Studies consistenly show that left leaning people have greater empathy.

          Studies have also shown that both vegetarians and vegans are more likely to have higher empathy than omnivores and are more likely to be left leaning politically.

          So yes veganism does have a bias, or rather people are inherently biased and will gravitate towards sociopolitical movements based on their personality, which includes the strength of their empathy response.

          Full disclaimer; I’m an omnivore lurker being poked fun at in the OP

            That’s not what I said though.

            Vegans come in all shapes and colors, some of them are even totally normal people who won’t get wild on you for not being vegan.

            That said veganism inherently isn’t a left or right idea, it may attract folks from a certain side but I think your point is the reason there not that veganism itself is a specific bias.

              Sorry I am having difficulty parsing this.

              I believe that veganism is inherently tied to political beliefs based on biological factors which influence both politics and empathy response, which is highly correlated with vegan/vegetarian diets.
