Maybe this should be elementary: no, there are no right-wing vegans. But at least Lifting Vegan Logic has said that he is neither left, or right. Usually I would say it means he is right-wing, so I am wrong?

    Cognitive dissonance, or however is called when you never even try to make two ideas bump into each other inside your head yet hold both of them as truths

        cc @Salmarez@hexbear.net Yeah, like someone else hinted at, they might become a vegetarian or vegan for other reasons, like health reasons or even spirituality or pseudo-sciences. Then they might find other vegans who expose them to the reality of animal cruelty, which compels them to become legitimate vegans motivated by the same ideas as other vegans. So long as they don't connect the that with understanding how human hierarchies tend to cause egregious and unnecessary human suffering (and add to that the violent reputation of anti-capitalists in the media, which seems like causing direct suffering) then I wouldn't be that surprised to see anti-leftist vegans.
