Five trustees quit Vegan Society after a row about amid allegations of institutional racism and transphobia

Eighty years, and this generation have closed it down because of identifying with oppressivism.

That is interesting - I read a thing this week about how ethical veganism is now a protected belief, with regards to people refusing the covid vaccine. Just made me think it's probably easier to be taken seriously for that than to stand up for women.

(Not being flippant, I've a close relative falls into that camp and it's made things difficult for years)

Hang on a minute... that second article seems to have nothing to do with the ridiculous cultural appropriation point. It seems to be about actual racism towards members of the board, and in hiring practices!

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever read . There have been vegetarian and vegan foods all over the world since the dawn of time. And dishes and recipes have spread to different cultures and been adopted and adapted since forever. What a bunch of hand-wringing woke idiots. Purity spirals indeed.

Purity spirals?

This is just like the white supremacist knitting nonsense. It’s embarrassing for the left that this stuff keeps happening with depressing regularity. Can these people not see and hear themselves?

This sort of story pops up fairly regularly. When sufficient Woke people are gathered together in one organisation, and without sufficient external Evil people to focus on, then they can start some sort of internal purity spiral/power struggle.

I think this sort of explosion is generally at the point where one faction feels they can no longer retain control, so they dissolve the formal group so the other faction doesn't get it, and produce some sort of declaration of Wokeness to justify the dissolution which they can add to their Woke credential sheet.

This is hilarious. All the ‘woke’ muppets turning on one another in the victimhood Olympics.

Excellent news for the Right.

I've come across this sentiment before. There appear to be so many factions within veganism online but all the vegans I know irl are all on the same side and just trying to minimize the suffering to animals that their choices cause. I cannot see how the recognised definition of veganism could be consider to be CA. Surely compassion towards animals isnt unique to any culture.
