    Vegans aren't a marginalized group of people, they aren't being genocided by Evangelical fascists, full fucking stop

    Trans people deserve to be considered a protected class here, vegans don't

      This is a poor analogy. Vegans are not the exploited party they are simply the ones who match their morals with actions.

      Also yeah I'll echo that you don't seem to understand the very basics of what's being discussed here so maybe you should ask yourself why you have such a strong reaction. If I were so ignorant, I would be asking questions or going to self-teach.

      Veganism is not about vegans being a marginalized group.

      Do you have any thoughts as to why the pushback has the exact same patterns?

      Vegans are arguing about the oppression of animals, not themselves. Animals are being genocided, and in the most extreme way seen in history.

        "genocide as the mass slaughter of any life"

        This is both not what genocide is and it also trivializes actual genocides. You're right to call this view anthropocentric, but I'm not going to say that animal life is a 1:1 equivalency with human life. Industrial farming is fucked up I agree, and should be ended. I also agree that veganism is a good thing, better than eating meat. But overall it is not the same thing, not at all.

          'm not going to say that animal life is a 1:1 equivalency with human life.

          Even if cows are worth 0.0001% of a human, animal agriculture is by far the worst genocide and indeed the worst crime ever committed on Earth.
