    I’m not a vegan, nor claim or aim to be one. But if I went about loudly proclaiming that I was, using this to justify my actions, and then it became public knowledge that I am in fact not a vegan, then it would be the same hypocrisy. When a group claims to need weapons to quell a threat to democracy, and then proceeds to ignore the threat when it arises, then they are hypocrites. Hope that helped understand the point - let me know if it did 👍

      I get you, but being a vegan requires zero risk of injury or incarceration.

      Like I told the (much less pleasant) other user, it’s no surprise that people are less brave than they’d like you to believe. That’s just… human nature.
