Basically title. I might be having a crush on a non-vegan who’s quite possibly also not a leftist. Do you have any advice on this?

    i’m a non-vegan leftist who dated a vegan non-leftist for about 4 years. These things (within reason) shouldn’t restrict your ability to hold relationships with people. If you’re dating someone with a diet that’s different from yours, you can always work together to meet one-another halfway. I greatly reduced my meat and animal product consumption while I was with her (and haven’t really gone back, though I do still consume both), meanwhile she slowly drifted left politically. This is how relationships generally work, you make sacrifices and change aspects of your worldview to improve the relationship with the other person.

    So I’ll reiterate, if you find yourself in a mutual and affectionate relationship with someone it really shouldn’t matter what their politics or diet are, because both parties will change for the other. But never, and I mean never, assume a fascist will ever do that for you.
