:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.

Right-wing vegan, an oxymoron? (hexbear.net)

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?

There are plenty of them.

I would argue being anti-human disqualifies you from veganism as it is inherently speciesist.

Yes, but right wing people usually have "cognitive dissonance" so they don't have a coherent logic for their life. And I'm not talking about "knowing you should be vegan but too lazy/self-indulgent to do so", I'm talking about examples like:

"I'm vegan cuz it's the right thing, and it's also the right thing for people with inferior genes to live in poverty and work for me"

But there's also examples of:

"I'm vegan not only cuz I love my golden retriever but also because it's healthier so I get to live longer and with more energy which is exactly what (((they))) don't want"
"I'm vegan cuz that gets me a personality and it's an elitist fad so it increases my chances to fuck hot rich people"

But why?

Cognitive dissonance, or however is called when you never even try to make two ideas bump into each other inside your head yet hold both of them as truths
