    I'm not aware of this struggle session. I think it's fair to say someone who is bigoted probably isn't a vegan for animal rights. If they are vegan for that reason and also some type of fasc - idk lol. That's weird as hell and completely missing the point of veganism. I would push back on it if they talked about their veganism

      Sure, there are weirdo nazi vegans whose vegansim isn't so much about animal rights as it is about some sort of ritual party and Aryan man's duty as the lawful ruler of the natural world. But here in Russia were progressive thought is lagging, I've met shit like terf anti-racism activists and homophobic vegans. Sure, they suck, but nothing stops those bigots from also being vegans for animal rights.

        Yes, it does. Human and animal liberation are rooted together. If they're against human liberation, they're not vegan, in the same way TERFs aren't really feminists
