Maybe this should be elementary: no, there are no right-wing vegans. But at least Lifting Vegan Logic has said that he is neither left, or right. Usually I would say it means he is right-wing, so I am wrong?
They are definitely a thing but it’s always for weird pseudoscientific health reasons. It’s a diet fad, basically.
I know a republican vegan. Started as a health thing but adopted more traditional reasons the further into it they got.
The real question should be is why aren’t more leftists automatically vegan?
I know them. They’re a minority, but I know them. Some people focus on the spiritual and avoid the material. When non-vegan leftists argue that veganism is a right-wing issue, there are heaps of statistical evidence that we can use to refute it. Also this. And this.
Maybe I’m ignorant, but I don’t see how veganism is necessarily left-wing?
You could be against speciesism but not classism or racism. It’s weird but theoretically could be. The thing I find more ridiculous are “leftist” non-vegans
