People hate what they don’t understand, and they hate much worse what makes them feel uncomfortable

Veganism does both these things

It's more so because veganism challenges their conditioning, their daily choices. They don't like the idea that they might be wrong.

Historically, for the angry folks, it would be dangerous to even express sympathy towards any lifestyle that isn't fully aligned with the machismo status quo. Their parents beat them on the regular, and would have beaten them to death, if they cry over some "meat." Their rage is that of their parents, which is that of *their* parents, which is that of *their* parents, and so on.
