Every liberal does it too, from center right radlibs to far-right "conservatives": the most extreme right fringe liberals hate the mainstream liberals for not being bigoted enough, the mainstream libs hate the radlibs for not being cruel enough, and the radlibs hate the left for not being chauvinist enough.

Denouncing chauvinism in particular is like a liberal moral event horizon, a cardinal sin against their self-interested belief in the righteousness of the imperial hegemon that keeps the treats flowing at gunpoint.

my frustration with vegans is that i've seen them derail other activism for their pet cause. like, sure, ecology matters. don't try to shoehorn it into my fucking solidarity work. don't hold up discussions about labor organizing to focus on whether we should be support workers in leather boots.
