Yeah, it's really interesting how easy it can be to not notice stuff like this until you end up in the group. I obviously haven't had the experience around vegan stuff, but have with other things.

Personally I just can't get over the overbearing hostility from some people, both vegans at me whenever i admit that I'm not one, and also other non vegans who are weirdly mean to vegans. But hey, i guess not everyone is gonna get along.

Guess it's part of the bubble too. People who end up on the other side of what the general population is doing are prone to turn into zealots.

The same happens in a lot of FOSS communities.

It's not an accident you don't notice!! You are being intentionally manipulated to be a profitable and guilt-free consumer, but also, you're being told lies you want to believe. Things look entirely different once you successfully pull your head out of your ass and psychologically take responsibility for the atrocity to sentient, sapient creatures that you are causing.
