This reminds me of a writing mentor (and myself tbh) who writes genuinely excellent novels but will never get published because he's an incredibly abrasive ass who refuses to temper himself and not tell his editor he's an r-slur who doesn't understand art, or repeatedly shit on his colleagues, etc.
He's right, but to act surprised that people don't want you around when you seem intent on making them feel bad (which has absolutely nothing to do with correctness; I believe vegans have moral highground) is disingenuous. I find the China-support annoying, to say the very least, but I temper my sectarianism because that's what's expected of me as part of this community.
And I will say I don't think "do your own research" works anymore in two years where people have given themselves mass psychosis via doing their own research.
