Regardless of any factionalism from the author, personally I believe the absence of animal rights/veganism from the platform of major or alternative left wing parties, from most climate change analysis, or class analysis stems from carnists and vegetarians not being willing to do the mental work of confronting their own biases

Yep. What people need to understand more is that veganism can be framed as a way of thinking, an ethical principle, that leads to certain practices rather than a set of practices in and of itself. You're totally right that this feeling of veganism being a "sacrifice" is a large part of what perpetuates human supremacy.

I also disagreed with portions from the article, such as the one you quoted, but I still think it's a decently insightful writing.
