Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

I mean...

Technically a vegan did shoot hitler in the head that lead to the end of WW2...

But that's a weird way to say hitler was a vegan.

Hitler wasn’t a vegan. He ate eggs and dairy products, according to his doctor.

Near the end of his life, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) followed a vegetarian diet. It is not clear when or why he adopted it, since some accounts of his dietary habits prior to the Second World War indicate that he consumed meat as late as 1937. In 1938, Hitler's doctors put him on a meat-free diet, and his public image as a vegetarian was fostered; from 1942, he self-identified as a vegetarian.

This does not contradict what I said? Vegetarians and vegans are not the same thing. Vegans do not eat eggs or dairy (or honey or any other product derived from animals). Vegetarians have no such restriction, they just don’t eat meat.

Not every response to a comment is an argument. This one looks like it was providing some color and additional detail to your comment. Calm down.

Can we just let them make what was clearly a joke and move on with our lives?

Do you have any idea what they meant by:

Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

Then?

Because dietary restrictions is not an effective way to fight fascism.

And I don't want to get in a pedantic argument about modern terms applied to 80 years ago. Although it seems that's what you really want to do

Today’s Hitler only eats at McDonalds.
