The bottom row is absolutely a strawman. I’m not vegan, for the record, but there absolutely isn’t a biological need for meat in humans. If that were the case, lifelong veganism wouldn’t be possible. Also, no one is wishing starvation on anyone. This meme takes what could have been a good point about letting perfect be the enemy of good and just makes it vegan bashing, of the strawman variety.
I think if you abstract it from the vegan discussion and think of it more just as how passionate progressives of any stripe treat each other, it’s still pretty real. I mean, it’s usually only a small fraction of us, but damn those guys can be loud.
