Hitler was a vegan

First, no, he was vegetarian and not because of moral reasons, but for medical ones (he had digestive issues and doctors thought no meat would help)

Also, why would Hitler being vegan have anything to do with anything?

I swear to God, these folks are not alright, even by debate-me-debate-me standards

    my understanding is that he wasn't ever even a vegetarian, even in wartime when his health was declining. on top of all the evidence of liver dumplings privately being his favorite treat, the hitlerites who created this public image in the first place of him being a vegetarian ascetic also made sure to include winking admissions that he still indulged in an occasional sausage or pigeon like any down-to-earth german. so even the propaganda that spawned this myth treated it as kind of a sometime lifestyle thing

    Anti-vegans know the vegans are right and that trying to justify mass torture and murder of sentient beings is a bad look. They get angry since they can’t justify their cruelty-based treats and want to associate vegans with something bad to try to resolve the cognitive dissonance and shove Hitler into the square hole.

    Same with trying to use Marxism, trans support, and being against car culture as negatives. These are all good things that the ranter has to try to make sound bad to discredit hexbear and show support for chuddery they want the world to descend into.

    lovebombing is a negative thing, but it doesn't apply to here anyway

    we're not trying to steal people from their family/friends or whatever

    Is lovebombing fake love to manipulate people? From context here it sounded like showing extra support for comrades and marginalised people. May have used that incorrectly.

    Yeah, the term lovebombing is used to describe a manipulation technique used mostly by narcissists and cults to draw vulnerable people in.

    They're trying to imply us showing extra support for comrades and marginalised people isn't real and is just cynical manipulation, because we couldn't possibly just love our comrades heart-sickle
