This is one of the biggest problems with literally everything. People see the loud assholes and assume everyone is like that.
So many people think that there are folks out there abusing the pittance they get from welfare because they saw a few people wasting their food stamps. When in reality most people on welfare aren’t out and about to be seen, they’re at home (if they have a home) trying to stretch their dollars.
Anti-welfare rhetoric was a deliberate propaganda campaign. That’s extensively documented, all of that was the result of Reagans deliberate actions.
In this, I assume, it is also very similar to a perpetual vegan bashings.
No, it was a thing that a bunch if people experienced IRL. In my case it was decades ago in high school or in vegan punk circles (many of those have significant problens with theor sense of superiority to begin with).
