Whether it&#8217;s veganism or animal rights, whether its racism, sexism, ageism, genderism, worker rights, freedom of belief\/disbelief, or anything else&#8230;whether I agree in principle or not, the tactics being employed are those of dictatorship, not of freedom, and I cannot abide tyrants and fascists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To me, they are no different than any other tyrannical overlord. To me, they are no different than Islamic extremists, Christian extremists, totalitarian rulers, military dictators, absolute-power monarchs. They are no better than Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, or any other megalomaniac the world has seen and known. They can claim &#8216;greater good&#8217;, but their actions and words demonstrate the awful truth. They are, in fact, nothing but more would-be overlords, their mantra: We shall subjugate.
