My previous stance on veganism was completely incorrect, and I didn't allow it to change for so long due to personal gripes with a few users on a niche internet forum.

I wish to apologize to any vegans or veganism supporters if any of my previous statements offended them or made them uncomfortable.

Looking back, many of my arguments were reactionary nonsense, and I had almost a nonsensical derangement syndrome about the whole thing. Getting into repeated fights with users even mentioning it, and generally being an asshole. I caused lots of unnecessary trouble with dear friends and comrades, who had to deal with the effects of my deeply unserious obsession with fighting specific users.

I let my personal feelings get in the way of a nuanced evaluation, which is very unmarxist of me. My issue with singular people turned into something that warped my common sense.

Although I recognize that I still have many brainworms about it, I want to remove them, and not let pettiness control my thoughts and actions.

A big part of me unlearning was reading through many of Angel's great posts, accidentally happening across some of the old threads (cringing extremely hard over them), and close friends calling me out leading to self evaluation.

I came to this opinion weeks ago, but only now I've publically renounced my previous position to my friends and hexbear.
