I think you may be failing to realize that vegans don't owe you complicity and silence. That self-respect isn't quite a personality trait, but it's not exactly unusual for any group doing anything useful.
If you're going to criticize someone because you see them daring to speak things that aren't already your opinion in public, at least read their name tag.

No one's afraid. Almost all of us are just ignoring loud people like yourself injecting themselves into conversations and then complaining about the message you seem to intentionally misunderstand. It seems like you're trying to reframe the entire topic for your personal comfort, not better communication.
