I wouldn’t say their opposition is always bad faith neo-nazis, but the anti-vegan/anti-PETA movement definitely has a few bad seeds they should be burning out. There is no reason to combine ethical meat-eating with neoconservativism. It’s bloody stupid.
Lmao why is this comment downvoted but the one saying that most people who dislike PERA are neo-nazis is upvoted? Tells you a lot about how out of touch people on here are.
I think dismissing an entire opposing view point as Nazis is one of the lowest forms of discourse there is, and unfortunately it’s very pervasive on Lemmy.
I don’t know if it’s naive teenagers or just a lot of out of touch people with fringe views, but it’s worse than reddit sometimes.
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.

So I should discard my own far-left views because I see a far-right group with that one same bullet point?
Let’s try it on you. Here’s some info about growth of veganism in the alt-right. Ready to support small time ranchers yet?
