You're seeing more of it recently because veganism is actually on the rise, both because awareness about speciesism is rising and because of climate concerns. Plus you're on the fediverse, where the concentration of principled radical leftists is higher than other platforms.

when human beings will also willingly put themselves into idiotic groups that do idiotic things

And is this one of those idiotic things? Are you implying trying to reduce animal cruelty in the world is idiotic?

Is it really that hard for you to accept that some principled people may be genuinely against something that you tolerate?

All I said was that astroturfing is not exclusive to governments or corporations.

Again, all I said was that astroturfing is not exclusive to governments or corporations. The only person implying anything here is you. I even went out of my way to say that I was not weighing on the current situation and was only elaborating on the "definition" that was put forward otherwise.

If you could stop shoving stances and opinions down my throat that would be great.
