    If I thought that, I’d be a vegan.

    Again:

    to be a vegan you have to think something AND do something to totality
    to be an anti-imperialist you have to just think something, maybe halfassedly do something

    that's why veganism inherently is more limiting and less popular even among leftists, and probably even on this site.
    If you want, you can take a poll, and I'll quote your OP that triggered this debate:

    This is the same reason people throw shitfits about China, totalitarianism, market socialism, or anything else.

    based on that:
    "what % of chapos have a favorable view of China, and/or think it's severely mistreated by western media"
    and
    "what % of chapos are vegan"

    My guess is the former far outpaces the latter

      I don't anyone except you would sign onto a notion of anti-imperialism that doesn't involve "doing something", it might be more ill-defined than veganism, but it's not like there aren't disagreements between vegans about whats allowed (wool? honey? bee-pollinated fruit?).

      My guess is the former far outpaces the latter

      Different size camps don't a different struggle session make.

        if it's more ill-defined, then it's easier to be one. That's the entire point.

          It's easier for me to not eat meat (which is something I already do for reasons of convenience) that it is for me to think something I don't think.
