Soon the national and international media was flooding in, trying to understand who and what the “Zizians” were. A “trans vegan death cult”? An “offshoot of the rationalist movement”? An “antifascist cult”? Anarchists? The events were immediately sucked up into the maw of the culture-war machine, recycled as a story of wokeness gone wild, a story of police overreach, an immigration story, or one about the inevitable product of an anti-trans culture.
My framing: another cautionary tale of what happens when we sacrifice wisdom on the altar of intelligence.
It had nothing to do with veganism and they threw that word in the headline to play on people's latent antivegan attitudes
Thanks for sharing this. Just finished reading it. Wild, for sure.
@blog.grotenhuis.info Curious how you picked that descriptor to take issue with, over all the others?
Veganism is a worthwhile cause and I spent time advocating for it
