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 right wingers who eat a vegan diet, but I would say it’s impossible to be right wing and and support animal liberation. You can’t abolish the exploitation of non-human animals without getting rid of capitalism.
I know them. They’re a minority, but I know them. Some people focus on the spiritual and avoid the material. When non-vegan leftists argue that veganism is a right-wing issue, there are heaps of statistical evidence that we can use to refute it. Also this. And this.

I judge people of the ideaology that is anti-human and thus not vegan.
Sorry, but I don’t believe you.
I know a republican vegan. Started as a health thing but adopted more traditional reasons the further into it they got.
The real question should be is why aren’t more leftists automatically vegan?

Except that animals take up a lot of space for themselves and their food. And additionally animals give co2 and other harmful games into the air. So big difference between farming plants and farming animals.

Just say you can not be arsed to be a vegan, even though you know you should.
Maybe I’m ignorant, but I don’t see how veganism is necessarily left-wing?
Because compassion over brutal hierarchies?
It is not necessarily left-wing, but vegans usually want to disassemble hierarchies (like left-wingers), which of the meat industry is one of the worst examples today.
there are no right-wing vegans
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”
