Freelee didn't quit, SHE IS A FAILURE ("Vegan Activism")

04 March 2017 [YT link]

Start at the 8 minute mark (@8:00) if you've got a short attention span. *Conversely,* if you want more of a balanced, in-depth analysis (and you've got the attention-span to match) check out my earlier video, "The wonder that was Freelee (RT4 in the past tense)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJd6wQlMW5Y

Don't sue the broadcaster, sue youtube.

03 March 2017 [YT link]

Yeah, apparently it is back in fashion for vegans on youtube to sue each-other, and people are getting their channels deleted.

#DOGGATE: An Analysis (Vegan Gains vs. Vegan Cheetah)

27 February 2017 [YT link]

The domestication of "companion animals"; the killing of other animals to provide them with food; the implications of the abolitionism vs. welfarism debate for "the pet industry" as a whole (in the same sense that we speak of "the meat industry" as a whole and we do not, e.g., make exceptions for second-hand leather), etc.

The People vs. Durianrider: The Deeper Significance of the Case. (vegan / vegans / veganism)

10 February 2017 [YT link]

@22:39 "We need to replace a culture of conspiracy-theory thinking with a culture of sincere engagement."

@22:45 "What more can I do for an audience of vegans who say they're trying to save the world, but who have gradually become accustomed to this culture of constant defamation and conspiratorial thinking?"

@27:08 "I *can* tolerate this stuff, but you guys ought to have some sympathy in your hearts, because I shouldn't have to."

Talking to Durianrider directly: the criminal charges are real, the court case is real.

09 February 2017 [YT link]

I keep telling people that I'm not a nice guy… but seriously… given what I've been through with this guy (and the damage he's done to veganism as a movement, not to mention myself, personally, and so many other people) how much nicer could I possibly have been in this scenario?

Stop Preaching NOFAP: Why I Hate Vegans.

Durianrider's Diet Will Never Be Debunked, No Matter How Many People Gain Weight.

In terms of time, money, and your own lost potential ("opportunity cost"), living in Thailand for 3 months is huge decision, with ramifications for the rest of your life; a commitment of one full year, even moreso.

Ryan from HHV: Vegans Against Violence and Defamation? (Happy Healthy Vegan)

13 January 2017 [YT link]

A casual conversation with Ryan from HHV about defamation and slander… and his peculiar approach to dealing with these controversies (basically by supporting whomever he happens to be friends with, or, apparently, whoever is the closest to downtown Los Angeles at the time, with zero interest in the facts, and zero interest in the consequences for either the individuals or the movement as a whole).
