I’m not some out-n-out rampant meat evangelical. I eat some. I eat most things.
A post came up in my ‘all’ feed which happened to be from a vegan community. I didn’t even look at the community, I just added a quick reply to the post.
It was something like “Another benefit of being a vegan is not worrying about contaminated chopping boards”.
I said simply “Thank goodness hot water and soap exists”. Or something like that.
I got banned instantly and couldn’t even reply to the person who posted after me along the lines of “you are clearly outing yourself as a Carnist and you’ll find no love here.”
I’ve got nothing against vegans as such and have enjoyed many a vegan meal. I find this knee-jerk banning and blocking a very sad and pathetic reaction. No wonder ‘The Left’ in all its forms is so easily targeted as ‘cancel-happy snowflakes’.
I say this as a rock-hard Lefty.
