Vegans are the butt of jokes not for their adherence to a clear and consistent moral code but because of their desire to coerce everyone around them to become vegan too.

I have not noticed as much militant veganism in the last few years, perhaps because the people I associate with are older and wiser, or maybe I am just going deaf.

Is this “the gay cabal are grooming our children to be homosexuals” thought train, but against vegans? What’s the point of such broad generalizations/conspiracies?

No, this is the “every joke I have heard about vegans deals with their militant evangelism” thought train.

Eg: “if one of your dinner guests is a vegan crossfitter, which do they tell you about first?”

But thank you for your efforts in attempting to mock my argument rather than address it.

More like the people who love to tell you they're "child-free" or "don't own a TV/smartphone" (or a thousand pro-gun bumper stickers or open-source laptop stickers or punk rock patches . . .

Virtue signaling is like tryinf to help people see in the dark by shining the flashlight you're carrying in their eyes.
