Veganism is a cult. You can't change my mind.
Veganism is ethical. Vegans can be stupid the same way carnivores can be. This reductive belief system may work in a world without critical thinking but I find your comment just as stupid as the one in this post.
There are vegans and then there are militant vegans. And those militant ones tend to be new to veganism. Or they are just straight up assholes.
But the few vegans I have known were very nice people and you wouldn't know they were vegans if you weren't swapping recipes with them.
I like the militant ones. it's the evangelistic ones that bother me.
All ethics-based movements benefit when their constituents adopt all sorts of different roles to achieve the movements' aims.
Look at MLK Jr., Malcolm X, and the Black Panthers. Different sides of the Civil Rights Movement, but all equally valid as they each apply pressure in different ways to bring about change.
Militant vegans are needed just as much as peaceful ones.
Veganism is a specific version of ethics/morality, extended to other organisms beyond humans.
Other specific versions of ethics/morality in the world exist, like religion, political ideologies, cultural norms, etc.
On a philosophical level, it's not different in that regard.
You're just trying to scare bait people from having an open mind about the tradition
