The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

There's always 3 parts of someone's politics you have to take note of:

  1. Economic base (progressive economic system vs. status quo and reactionary economic system --> eg. socialism vs. capitalism)

  2. Superstructure at home (culture + gov't issues --> eg. racial equality struggle + liberal democracy's struggle between elected and appointees)

  3. Foreign Policy (critical support of ideologically-aligned gov'ts, if not strategically-aligned ones, against larger evils)

And if at least one part of someone's ideological thinking are very much hostilely contrary to the rest of 2/3, they should rethink their entire viewpoint on why it is so
