Hitler wasn’t a vegan. He ate eggs and dairy products, according to his doctor.

    Near the end of his life, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) followed a vegetarian diet. It is not clear when or why he adopted it, since some accounts of his dietary habits prior to the Second World War indicate that he consumed meat as late as 1937. In 1938, Hitler's doctors put him on a meat-free diet, and his public image as a vegetarian was fostered; from 1942, he self-identified as a vegetarian.

    This does not contradict what I said? Vegetarians and vegans are not the same thing. Vegans do not eat eggs or dairy (or honey or any other product derived from animals). Vegetarians have no such restriction, they just don’t eat meat.

    Do you have any idea what they meant by:

    Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

    Then?

    Because dietary restrictions is not an effective way to fight fascism.

    And I don't want to get in a pedantic argument about modern terms applied to 80 years ago. Although it seems that's what you really want to do
