    Absolutely correct. Imagine being pro-liberation all the way up until it involves putting something else on your plate. It doesn’t make sense.

      You haven’t watched the video. The woman is arguing for veganism while the guy is arguing from the leftist perspective till the end where they finally come to common ground.

        Because they represent all those vegans that don’t have a leftist perspective? All three of them?

          We’re talking about two people in the video.

          I have only met like 3 conservative vegans online, they often say they dont eat animal products because of personal responsibility.

            So it’s a video about two specific people with specific politics? Because the title sure suggests that it’s the two groups in their entirety.

              They’re re-enacting how debates go between leftists and vegans.

              Vegans encompass the whole political spectrum however leftists are the most likely to be vegan as they tend to care more about others.

                What debates? I have yet to hear of any such debates.

                  From personal experience, I’ve spoken to several leftists who aren’t even willing to consider the issue of animal welfare because (and I’m paraphrasing here) “human issues come first”. Like it’s some sort of either or situation, when really the positions are complimentary.

                  Not sure if this is what the video is about, as I can’t watch it right now.
