So what are your actual beliefs? Tell me I wasn't just dead-on about the dime-a-dozen leftist perspective on veganism as something separate from leftism or, at best, as an act of radical environmentalism that one can take or leave because it's basically fungible to any other act of environmentalism.
Or was the bullshit assumption the one I'd made about Twitter? That you wouldn't gatekeep leftism based on whether people participate on a neo-Nazi social media website? There may be sensible exceptions, but that's where things start to break down for me, personally.
Geez. Buy me a drink first, before you want my life story. /s
Will do: you weren't dead-on.
Of course anarchism includes critique of consuming animal products. But that doesn't mean that a boycott is the correct strategy, let alone bullying others to partake in the boycott. Also: the way you phrased it was just whataboutism.
I'm not here to gatekeep. Just want clarity in political terms.
