I never really gave a lot of weight to the social aspect of feeling the need to broadcast it, but you cant deny the bonds that come from sitting down sharing the same food.
Poor Vegans only really getting that bond from other vegans, and lets be honest they are not often the better crowd to bond with.
Sad shit is, other than family members, I've never met another vegan I got along with. But that's more-so about politics and not their personality.
"politics and not their personality" I dont think the two can really be separated deep down, people are just really good liers.
I think when you factor in the brainwashing that occurs to send people towards certain politics, I would say they're different. There's a reason the NPC meme hurts their feelings so bad. They know they are performing the whims of others, and they feel insecure because they have no strongly developed personality as a result. Subtle distinction, but I believe for some people, they actually repress their real personality, rather than it being the same as their politics.
