    Animal rights activism is famously a right wing activity but ok.

      What utter bullshit, animal liberation is purely left wing.

        "In 1938 Hitler’s doctors put him on a meat-free diet, and his public image as a vegetarian and a lover of animals was fostered; from 1942 he described himself as a vegetarian. " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler_and_vegetarianism

        In Politics, it seems to have been a right-wing thing at some point at least. It is a left-wing thing today, though. The right in germany is famously obsessed with meat (Markus Soeder; Alice Weidel; etc.): “Ich lasse mir nicht mein Schnitzel wegnehmen” - Alice Weidel (“I’m not going to let Schnitzel be taken from me”) It’s one of the larger points they hammer away at in their culture war against the greens.

        Animal Liberation has been used by all manner of people in politics before, irrespective of their political orientation - I don’t think it’s purely Right Wing or Left Wing - though it’s very much a left wing thing today.

        Many “animal liberators” are explicitly racist and classist to other humans. Guess it doesn*t matter when the species of the oppressed animal is from the Hominidae family

        Adolf Hitler, Greta Garbo, PETA, most of the Zionists on American media…

        They’re loving animals until the animal is a human with darker skin than theirs.

          So your statistic is 4 people/groups. Doesn’t say anything. I can name just as many carnivore diet type people on the right wing at the drop of a hat

            Your examples are honest with their villainy, they don’t care about any living being and they don’t act like they do.

            Mine is dishonest, they act like they love all animals but somehow forget that the humans they love to be racist about are also animals.

              Okay, but my point is listing off 4 people/groups does not in any way statistically back up your original statement
