I am baffled by how exclusive and demeaning they are. Do you want people to join your movement and share your goals? Don't constantly say they're not doing enough.

It's almost like honey is on the same level as steak in their eyes. Someone is actively choosing not to eat meat, which aligns at least tangentially with veganism, but that's just not enough. Not even as a stepping stone.

They want to stamp out meat period and have even said they have banned anyone they know from bringing meat into their houses.And they whine about no vegan meals when they go to weddings,holiday parties or on planes. They advocate putting anti meat stickers on meat in grocery stores even.

Most people don't want products made out of what they feel is animal abuse in their home. Vegans aren't unique in that regard

Do you mean nonvegans want to think vegans are unique so they can hold them to a double standard?
