Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

Sadly, this doesn't even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.

I'll happily debate political beliefs, but not here. In vegan communities, I'm here for the animals and welcome anyone here with similar motivations. Fragmenting the community by requiring increasingly narrow adherence to beliefs X, Y, and Z is not helpful.

What is the source of your quote? I can think of quite a few places where I'd want to share it 😆

Just copy/pasting something I wrote in another thread as it applies just as much here. https://lemmy.ca/comment/4835622
