Veganism and Politics

Veganism is something for everybody, regardless of their political leanings.

While we strongly advise against intertwining your Veganism with your political views, it can be incredibly useful to appeal to the political values that people do have as a motivation for them to wartm to veganism. In other words, getting someone to consider how their views extend to animal welfare may cause them to shift their behavior and views on the matter in order for them to be more internally consistent. This can be done across the entire political spectrum, though for the sake of minimizing alienation amongst the general public, your best bet is to do this to people who are within the Overton Window, such as liberals/progressives, conservatives, libertarians, and of course good ol' centrists. Convincing political extremists to go Vegan, either fascist or communist or anarchist, would NOT reflect well on veganism; A vegan advcocating for a fringe claim is one of the seven deadly sins of Vegan Activism. People are generally put off by extremist politics, so when they see a Vegan loudly spouting Nazi/Communist/Nazbol rhetoric, they'll just think that Veganism is just another quasi-extremist ideology advocated by those to deluded by their dreams of a far off, ideal world. They may be incorrect in thinking this, but human psychology is notorious for being not rational.

Liberals/Progressives

We are well aware that the term "liberal" carries a much different definition abroad than it does in the United States.
