That is it. Normal people can do the same too

To gain what, exactly?

Is it really that hard for you to accept that some principled people may be genuinely against something that you tolerate?

You're seeing more of it recently because veganism is actually on the rise, both because awareness about speciesism is rising and because of climate concerns. Plus you're on the fediverse, where the concentration of principled radical leftists is higher than other platforms.

when human beings will also willingly put themselves into idiotic groups that do idiotic things

And is this one of those idiotic things? Are you implying trying to reduce animal cruelty in the world is idiotic?

What a braindead argument. Sometimes bad things happen to human children so we can excuse animal cruelty on an industrial scale.

And it's not just the separation, 99% of male calves are killed immediately after being born, while females are either filled with hormones so they can be grown for meat, or they are raped year after year so they keep producing milk.

Beware that the devolvement of Kbin is stalled, Mbin is a more active fork.

Guess some people see everything in a cost-profit margin only.

Especially when it's convenient. I'm sure they would happily look the other way if you showed them the economic burdens of having a car-centric society.

Kbin is like a mix of reddit and twitter.

There’s a weirder type of people that are not even Americans and act like the first type.

It's okay, you can say 'Canadian' on this server.

It’s like they can’t conceive of such a thing

They really can't, if they want to keep believing they are moral people that always do the right thing.

If they accept that someone else might not be willing to tolerate the evil they tolerate, then by contrast they also would need to accept they are not as good as they thought they were. I'm definitely not explaining it well, but this is called being a Moral rebel.

And of course, it doesn't help that the liberal mentality is very paternalistic, they have to constantly feel like they're the only adult in the room.

Real manly men only think about other manly men.

That'd be awesome, until the police shows up and shoots them.

Crossposted because I think it's an interesting take, but I don't fully agree with the part about protests having no quantifiable goal.

Not all protests for Gaza were meant to gain engagement, many were organized to cause direct economic disruption to those that profit from the war, that is a goal.
