I mentioned two names at the beginning of the topic, for the rest it is completely useless to seek to quote people in particular but to understand the social phenomena which result from such maneuvers.
The question is more about the ideologies behind his thought patterns than the people who carry them loud and clear, often very momentarily ...
And it seems to me to have cited all this further upstream ...
On proofreading I found only that!
This process is not new, it was the same with feminist, ethnic, homosexual currents, "urban youth", hipsters, etc ... individuation allows us to offer a range of limitless consumer products!
Except that we find a model of contestation, some are unrelated to the others, even if some are confusing, because it is possible to be VG and not favorable to the groups mentioned because this creates gender confusion.
Now that this actually leads to consumption, it is inevitable unless everyone cultivates his garden, makes his own clothes, housing, etc ... which is very exceptional and even there it remains consumption.
However, and this is important, I did not intervene on what the whole society experiences, but on the philosophy of veganism which seems to me to be unrelated to what you wrote (you do not quote any writing founding of this type of movement, showing a simple market intention or even a simple ideological recovery or everything here below is of this type as soon as a change of life is proposed.)

In a protest movement there are many sincere people and, alongside, there are opportunists who "surf" on the rising wave, but these two very distinct categories (and opposed from the point of view of consciousness) ultimately play exactly the right thing. same objective role.
Of course we will always find opportunists. But it is confusing form and substance! The opportunists take only the forms and is easily detected by the sincere people that you indicate. However, it is like fashion, the superficial end up getting bored and move on to something else that will enhance them; just wait until they get bored! "
