Calling things like veganism and LGBT political is sad to me. Are we really saying people who don't want to harm animals and people who believe all genders and sexual orientations should have the same rights are political? Politics should mean shit like taxes.

    That's quite a narrow definition of politics. I'd say anything that humans do that is perceived by others to be part of a social structure that maintains or challenges social norms and power relations is political.

    Only if veganism itself becomes something nobody would challenge (like health is better than death, breathing is important) or if you are the last person on earth you can become the first apolitical vegan.
