I escaped the Reddit regime a little while ago. I consider myself a marxist-leninist-MZT. Vegetarian and vegan for a few years. I’ve a lot of thoughts on how marxism and veganism are connected. Never wrote them down. I’d like to start smth like a club for marxist vegans to develop our own proletarian theory. Most vegan theory I found is either openly bourgeois (Francione is a literal TERF) or revisionist (anti-China, anarchist, libertarian). How about fixing this?
I remember years ago Hexbear pulled an entire subreddit of Vegans into their site solely because they were vegan and nothing else. All they did was go from com to com and harass the ever loving fuck out of everyone. Most of them had to be banned and mods had to put in new rules in some subs. Idk if it was a psyop or just terminally online crazies. Probably a bit of both.
Now, seemingly out of nowhere a 3 day old account pops up using Veganism as an in to cause drama. This post alone already has some pretty rabbid comments popping up. Mainly by Hexbear and Lemmy.ml accounts that came in at warp speed when we RARELY see them this involved with a Lemmygrad post.
The funny thing is, there’s lots of Vegans in Lemmygrad, yet you never see them acting like this towards fellow comrades. Weird how the brand new accounts pops in, makes a post like this, and all of a sudden it’s filled with non-lemmygrad accounts starting drama. All seems suspect to me.

My only interaction with that sub was joining for 3 days before seeing some rather disturbing posts advocating for anti-natalism (I don’t want to elaborate much but it was content warning worthy) and leaving.
It was barely even relevant to the topic of the sub. Really crazy the kinds of shit that flies in spaces that don’t take a hard line for moderation.
This is correct. That sub was a branch from other vegan subs because the more extreme and crazy of the users got banned from them. Vegancirclejerk was literally where all the “crazy vegan stereotypes” went when they normal people in the other vegan subs kicked them out.

Tbh I don’t think this post is attracting all that much attention, it’s like, 3 or 4 people having a comically drawn out discussion where all parties are from seemingly completely different planets and can’t seem to figure out what the others are saying, pretty entertaining but not so productive.
