In suggesting that the animal movement could do more good by “avoiding partisanship”, I think you have failed to understand that it isn’t as trivial as making room for both ‘social justice fans’ and ‘non-social-justice-fans’, it is about whether we exclude people with an exclusionary ideology or exclude the people who those people exclude through their actions (consciously or not). The two are not compatible in the same movement.
