True. I initially took your post as barking up the wrong tree, since the issue of neglecting animal rights is more prevalent outside of leftism than inside. Caring about progressive issues is something that may come gradually to people. Issue by issue. So I’m a bit reluctant to criticize people that are going into the right direction.

However, I also believe that this gradual change may come through interaction with posts like yours. So I guess I’m wrong for criticizing it.

That makes no sense. From my experience, left wing people are much more likely to be vegan than the average person.
