As a vegan, you depend on large corporations and the modern industrial society to exist. So it's strange to say you hate large corporations. A vegan lifestyle isn't one that you could maintain without international trade and industrialized life. Without global trade, oil, lab research, pharma companies, etc, you couldn't survive as a vegan. So I don't understand why you hate large corporations.

I don't know how that follows. I think it is perfectly conceivable that one could be vegan without this, just as many vegans have been for millennia.

I find it a lot more likely that those people were vegetarians, rather than vegans.

Or they were very limited in number and relied on their surrounding societies much more than people with a non-vegan diet.
