You might think I'm being factious with that title, but no, these people are genuinely beyond parody.

Daily Mail comment section. mrmingly: "Cancel my NT membership when they started this woke madness, and know of many others who have done likewise.. I joined to support the upkeep of some magnificent estates, not the woke dogma". Uber99 in reply: "me too."

It's a recurring thing.

Right wing astroturfing groups keep trying to get control of the national trust.

If it's not vegan food, they're complaining about pride, or people explaining where all the money for these big country houses came from.

The group's actually run out of the same place as a Tory think-tank. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/28/national-trust-captured-by-well-funded-fake-grassroots-group-restore-trust

My coffee is WHAT???? 😤

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If my coffee had to be vegan, I would be kinda upset because it means I couldn't have any dairy cream in it.

If my coffee couldn't be vegan (even served black), I would be even more upset because WTF would they be doing to it to make it inherently not-vegan‽

Jello and marshmallows aren't vegan for WTF reasons

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah, they usually contain gelatin, which is extracted from animal skins and bones.

Vegan gelling agents are available (and in fact, marshmallows originally used marshmallow roots), but I guess, gelatin is just so cheap, because it's a waste product from animal slaughter.

Same with most bread, beer, wine, apple juice, potato chips and white sugar.

[–] muix@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I knew about the others, but what about bread and potato chips is not vegan?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 7 points 11 months ago

Bread often contains L-Cysteine, made from hog hair or poultry feathers, as a baking aid. It is labelled as food additive E920.
Potato chips often contain whey powder, and some aromas contain animal products even if you wouldn't expect it.

So no more jello in my coffee either?

i don't know anything about this but I am now very angry that "facetious", "factious", and "fictious" are all words

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago

This is very funny because I meant to put facetious.

This person clearly forgot when they tried to force their employees to wear pride lanyards, lol
