Was the boycott of Apartheid South Africa "liberal"? Was the bus boycott "liberal"? Or the BDS campaign? Going vegan is pretty much just boycotting animal products, and boycotts have been very effective in the past.
when literally the same number of animals will die whether you eat meat or not lol
This is very dumb, boycotting the meat industry obviously affects how many animals are slaughtered. For example, here's data from the UK showing a 10% decrease in meat consumption between 2013 and 2017, which is believed to have been caused by widespread adoption of veganism beginning at around that time (and this figure is believed to have dropped further since 2017).
In the UK, the average person consumes 85kg of meat a year; the total meat consumption of the country is 5.5 billion kg of meat per year, so a 10% reduction in meat production means that 552 million kg less meat is being produced.
Would you seriously contend that half a billion fewer kilos of meat being produced has zero effect on the number of animals being slaughtered?
