Take B12. :vegan-edge:
What is your basis of assuming there are (for any definition of 'right-wing') 'no right-wing vegans'? It seems like a baseless assertion. Adolf Hitler infamously identified as a vegetarian and tried to dissuade others from eating meat due to animal suffering (according to witnesses).[wiki]
Despite all this: people hold inconsistent views and values all the time. This isn't rare or anything. It's actually extremely normal. I wouldn't even call it cognitive dissonance, it's standard neurological behaviour.
The ideas of 'left' and 'right' are basically meaningless. They are inherently relative and vaguely defined to the point they can mean anything. Chances are, if they're being sincere, they don't consider themselves political and therefore believe that makes them neutral. Most of us would obviously disagree.
Good point, the premise of my OP is rather narrow-minded and self-congratulatory to leftists. One of the many pitfalls of drunk posting...
It's alright, everyone drunkposts sometimes.
Then wakes up to crit + hangover
Heh, yeah.
