i guess but the anti-nuclear people have borne out to be objectively wrong because 50+ years of new plants would've made a huge difference to climate change while vegans are generally not frightened boomers and the ethical philosophy component of veganism doesn't exist for nuclear power.

Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, the debate divides a previously united group. During the peak of the vegan struggle session, Hexbears no longer thought of themselves as one unified group but rather as pro-vegan or anti-vegan (both purporting to represent the true Hexbear).

there were plenty of people accusing the pro-vegan group of being wreckers and such
