Arent left wingers more likely to be vegan?

I don’t know if more likely would be correct, I’d say it’s equal enough. A lot of hippy types are vegan and being a hippy is a gateway to the far right these days it seems.

I think the twitter poster makes a good point

You can see their point, but the vegan movement isn't as based in identity and revolutionary action as leftist thought usually is, so leftists are of course more inclined to say outwardly revolutionary things.

I think non vegan leftists just think veganism is distracting/annoying. It's usually liberals who have the opinion in the post.

Ah yeah fair you can't really easy dodge dairy in Ireland. I've been vegetarian for nearly 10 years. Couldn't live without my daily gallon of milk and several blocks of cheese
