Not necessarily because you might also commit to stopping it in a non-escalatory way. For instance you could work to make economically viable lab-grown meat to replace animal products.
Hence the other key ingredient in Zizianism is commitment to escalating all the way, which allows things to blow up dramatically like this. (And escalating all the way has the potential to go wrong in most conflicts, not just veganism (though veganism seems like the big one here), e.g. I doubt the landlord conflict was about veganism.)
As an analogy, if you were dealing with the Holocaust, you could try to directly destroy all Nazis, or you could try to mitigate against the Holocaust in less escalatory ways (e.g. trying to have Jews emigrate from Nazi territories, which I imagine could be done either with the cooperation of Jews as in the Danish case, or with the cooperation of Nazis as in the Madagascar plan).
I agree with your comment. To continue the analogy, she chose the path of Simon Wiesenthal and not of Oskar Schindler, which seems more natural to me in a way when there are no other countries to escape to—when almost everyone is Nazi. (Not my views)
I personally am not aligned with her values and disagree with her methods. But also begrudgingly hold some respect for her intelligence and the courage to follow her values wherever they take her.
“The suffering of animals across the globe is so great, and society is so indifferent to them- that I need to kill my asshole parents and my landlord”
You: omgosh they’re so courageous and intelligent uwu
Are you just saying: Ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking? Because the good thinking part is kind of integral to courage and intelligence imo. Probably if you can’t keep your whole organization from facing prison time because you can’t come up with a better housing solution than stabbing some old guy, probably you haven’t been very courageous or intelligent.
You’re probably, and take me very seriously when I say this, just crazy. And the things you do probably, possibly, maybe, might be, do not correlate well at all with your stated reasoning.

(Nitpick: historians seem to generally think that the Madagascar plan wasn’t even really on the table for most of the Nazi leadership.)
Fair, I didn’t know much about the Madagascar plan, it’s just something I had heard someone bring up once.
