I feel like there is a platonic ideal of 'that rear end in a top hat vegan who can't shut up about being a vegan' that doesn't have to ever have been actually encountered to have the feeling of authenticity. I mean humans are incapable of making lifestyle choices without some percentage of them going all-in and crazy about it, as this very thread continues to remind us every day.

People hate people who they consider "better" than them. Vegans eat healthier, cause less cruelty, and practice self-denial. Thus, they must be hoity-toity snobs forever looking down their noses on mere mortals. (I am not vegan) See: Virtue signalling.

I've hung out with some alternative and pretty lefty types and not one vegan or vegetarian has been close to the rear end in a top hat stereotype who yells at you for being a murderer or whatever. They just order their food or request something they can eat.

Well no they eat provably more unhealthy, they cause more cruelty due to how their food is actually sourced, they do practice self-denial I guess? So you got 1 out of 3 right/ It's all by far less environmentally friendly than plain vegetarianism while you're at it.

So you got 1 out of 3 right/ I'm talking about perception rather than trying to be one of "those" vegans. That's why I specified I'm not vegan (or even vegetarian.) I have noticed that some Paleo people tend to be like the "vegan" stereotype and can't walk past a conversation about food without telling everyone how their diet is the best.

I don't get upset about this because I am not a giant baby. I have never met a single vegan or vegetarian who has actually admonished me for my food choices or tried to push their way of living on others outside of a casual "Hey, you should give it a try!" if someone else expresses interest.

I live in my nations capital, which is also hands down my nations vegan capital, and hoo boy do we have some self-righteous annoying ones. It's become a lot worse after facebook..

Not technically Freep, but in its spirit, I ran across a Guardian article from a dude bitching about dual-language (Scottish) Gaelic signage in Scotland: Saving a language is one thing, but I'm saddened by Scotland going Gaelic As someone who's keenly interested in language preservation, I offer him a hearty "go gently caress yourself" or its Gaelic equivalent. Just struck me an interesting cousin of "this is America, how come I gotta press 1 for English!!!" TapTheForwardAssist fucked around with this message at 15:13 on May 4, 2017 |

Turns out once again Freep was right all along and Obama's gayer than hell https://www.yahoo.com/news/barack-obama-snorted-cocaine-considered-113610590.htmlquote:The book also lays bare details his close relationship with openly gay assistant professor Lawrence Goldyn and suggests it may have influenced him when he allegedly started exploring his own sexuality. He allegedly considered having a gay relationship because he thought it would be "less challenging" than being heterosexual. Since Freep was right here we need to evaluate what else they've been right on with Obama everything ever

Funny how Obama is always "secretly" everything they hate even if it doesn't make sense. Occasional churchgoer? Obviously a secret Muslim. Happily married? Obviously secretly gay. Wife is pretty? Secretly an overweight transwoman (I don't even know how that works.)

Eh the idea that the right is a completely unified force was pretty much done away with by the election last year, in fact a few people here were saying that Republicans were done as a major force in politics due to how fractured they were. Even now I don't see anyone saying that the right is a unified force despite Trump winning, there's still pretty obviously a lot of infighting.

I think the difference is that no matter how much they hate the GOP Freepers will crawl over broken glass to vote for anyone with an (R) next to their name every single election while the left refuses to vote for anyone not progressively pure enough for them.
