What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

Almost like ruffling feathers is the point when you truly believe most people are being murderers. You don't change society by being polite.

Activism isn't about being polite as much as effecting change, which vegans are doing the opposite of through much of their online presence.

Lots of activists change society by passing legislation, organizing political action and peaceful protests.

Irritating other people with half-baked personal invective won't get you anywhere productive.

You don’t change society by making yourself look like a dick and making everyone just want to ignore you either
