Yeah, it's called white veganism.
I do not understand what you are saying here.
It's a type of veganism that focus superficially on animal rights and use exclusionary language.
The opposite is intersectional veganism.
white veganism
Thank you for this.
You're welcome:)
What makes you think OP doesn't support other leftist ideals?
I do not know what OP thinks about other issues. They might have great stances on other stuff, but I am not taking position on that here.
I say it is white veganism because the purism is exclusionary in the sense that it is gatekeeping and imposing immorality upon those who fail to be clean vegans. Our communication should be assertive, but we should also make it inclusive. Let the 99% join without the fear of being ostracized.
Oh hey, you're the same person that I responded to in a different comment on this post. I've given a more detailed explanation there, but you're arguing against a straw man interpretation of the OP. It doesn't say meat eaters can't be leftist, it says self-identified leftists tend to argue against animal liberation with right wing arguments.
So the OP is not exclusionary to meat eaters, it is only exclusionary to people that oppose animal liberation. Which is good because animal liberation is good. Trying to sell oneself to centrists by compromising one's ideals, thus proving one has none and one will sell people out for political expedience in a heartbeat, has been catastrophic for left-wing parties throughout the western world for the past 40 years.
