Something I find funny is the supposition that vegans will just stop consuming animal products and do nothing else when the stereotypical vegan is constantly propagandizing about veganism. Realistically, many vegans most likely engage in activism to further the political cause of veganism.

Also lol the “just wait for magical meat alternatives!” is comically similar to the “just wait for magical technology to solve climate change!” argument.

But whatever, I’m a centrist: I support mandatory enforced veganism but am not myself a vegan.

Wow, what a cool and normal post that will cause no drama whatsoever

I think there’s something to be said about how veganism has mostly been subsumed by liberal politics and turned into a consumption thing, even going so far as to say that many vegans don’t really understand it as a political position. The lack of theoretical development in the broader vegan movement severely restricts our practical work which is why individual evangelizing still seems to be the primary method of spreading veganism. The answer to this issue obviously isn’t to abandon veganism though, it’s to build a revolutionary vegan/animal lib movement that recognizes control over production, not consumption, is how we end animal agriculture and that mass organization, revolutionary action, and a popular front are how we reach that.

Ah yes, I love it when my leftism is indistinguishable from libertarianism in assuming rational functioning markets and the inevitable progress of technology.
