I'll be honest, I sometimes get pretty lonely irl being pretty much the only vegan in my life. I tried to organise a vegan group in my city last year and basically everyone who expressed interest was either vegetarian or "flexitarian"/"99% vegan"/"whatever".
Hate to feel like I'm spoiling the mood of the place but feel like you all would understand better than anyone I know in real life.
I know the feeling. I lived in a suburban/rural American town and tried to start a vegan club and literally no one even showed up! I think this is the most relatable part of vystopia the book where she describes that it feels like we are on the forefront of something big but no one else is there even though it seems so obvious.
