I don't see the point of being a vegen/vegetarian on animal rights grounds. We hurt animals every day by clearing land for new homes, stripping their habitats to get resources, pumping fumes into the air. We hurt them just by existing. As long as they're being killed as humanely as possible then I have no complaints. I just can't deal with the over-zealous vegan who thinks they're doing so much for animals, when they're living in a house, driving a car, filling that car with petrol. Go live naked out in the forest with no possessions if you really want to do your part.
For dietary or cultural reasons, I have no issue with it of course. It's not for me, but do you.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
