SHILL: you realize the intellectual caliber of the critics I'm facing. :-/
13 December 2017 [link youtube]
The video being criticized here is an old one: "The Death of a Dream: Veganism After the End of HCLF / RT4 / Durianrider / Freelee /etc."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgJMKXJadlE
This might be an appropriate time to mention my thematically-related video (i.e., salient to this criticism), ""Chase Your Dreams" = BAD ADVICE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwBUTFdNe14
My critic (who believes that you can cure Crohn's disease and schizophrenia through "fruit and fasting") can be found here:

Incidentally, I notice that he did (many months ago) make a short (two minute) video simply stating that Durianrider was in the wrong, and that I was in the right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z5WFoa7dJs

complete and absolute idiot eyes l can you run around the block I'm almost twenty years older than you if we both got on bikes I would absolutely slaughter you on my fruit diet I don't know what diet you're eating I don't even know if you're vegan who's paying you to say these things that's what I want to know who's paying you this guy is an imbecile he's got to be a shoe nobody could be that stupid somebody's paying him to spread this dark negativity like foul tentacles through the vegan YouTube movement Banas yen I started to look at some of ISIL Meszaros videos I thought he raised some interesting points but I looked at one particular video and some of the things that he said just didn't measure up he had a clip of someone else's video where they ate five mangoes for breakfast why the hell would anyone wake up and eat five mangoes for breakfast well maybe because humans are frugivorous we could start there you start thinking what what's this guy getting at he is scoffing at someone eating five mangoes for breakfast so come on man where's this guy coming from so then he goes on to say that you know the dream is dead the vegan YouTube dream is dead still today there are some people who are simultaneously buying and selling a dream that just can't be true what is that dream it's hard to talk about it now that it's finally dying now that it's finally become something that's laughed at and regarded as embarrassing within veganism the dream was that you could quit your day job live on permanent vacation make money promoting your lifestyle and the same time wrap that all up in the self-satisfied confidence that you were doing the most you can for the animals for the environment for the future of the planet that you were making the world a better place through a new and thrilling form of politics that's almost completely apolitical so I Zell picks this youtuber a young attractive youtuber as an example showing how much effort she put into her Instagram and whatnot and she's only getting maybe a couple hundred years of video and he says nobody cares this is one example obviously there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of examples and you're gonna see why I choose this this is not a bad example that's spending an above-average sample this young woman uses the screen name mole candy it's her full name is Moira candy something like that objectively she's good-looking not my type not a subjective statement but I mean you know she's slim she has piercing blue eyes she has a lot of body arches a lot of tattoos and even more rare she has a huge advantage of living in one of the only places in the world one of the few places that does have a big vegan population she lives in Portland Oregon so she has the possibility to promote her channel really through a network of people who know each other face to face it's a huge advantage most of us don't have most of us online were the only vegan are in our town or we don't know or get along with even two or three other vegans and this young woman put quite some work into her Instagram accounts into her videos and so on and nobody cares it was just this negativity like don't even dream don't even get into YouTube if you're a vegan very discouraging I mean if you take this guy seriously you'll you'll want to jump off a bridge it's just not true there are many young female vegan youtubers who are getting thousands and thousands of views I encourage all young people to do YouTube it's just to your advantage to do it do it now not if you take eyes elmas ARDS advice because you're wasting your time having any kind of dream and if that's not bad enough it gets worse he goes back to the mango eating this person ate six more mangoes how did people convince themselves that eating 11 mangos a day or 30 bananas a day that this was not just something you should do but something you should get on the internet and boast about when I lived in Thailand and Laos mangoes were extremely cheap and extremely high-quality because they're farmed locally even when I was out there just getting a ton of exercise just coping with life you know sorry if you guys are new to my channel I did humanitarian work I did research I was studying languages I was not on permanent vacation I was never on vacation I was working my ass off intellectually and and otherwise and trying to do humanitarian work I did manage to do a little bit of humanitarian work but you do a lot more trying than you do getting in that field um I can remember eating three mangos in a day I don't know maybe if they were small mangos maybe in the whole day I ate four but this young woman in Portland had five mangoes for breakfast and then what another six mangoes in the rest of the day six mangoes for dinner sheet eleven mangoes in one day to me looking back on this evening five years in the future 10 years in the future when people are asking what was this dream this dream that took the internet by storm for a short time and then it died how did people convince themselves that eating 11 mangos a day or 30 bananas a day that this was not just something you should do but something you should get on the internet and boast about I've eaten far more than that in one sitting I eat til I've had enough a fruit because that's our biological design isn't that just obvious goes a day that's like a decent sized meal for the whole day and that's it so you know alright okay if they're large mangoes maybe but that's that's not an extraordinary amount of food not an extraordinary amount of fruit then he points to another vegan youtuber or someone on Instagram and YouTube who said he said that they changed their diet now they're incorporating whole grains into their diet which is a lot more balanced that makes a lot more sense or people were afraid to admit that they stopped eating in this crazy way this this young woman I chose in Portland mo candy I just checked her Instagram she has changed her diet she's switched to eating a much more balanced diet with a lot of greens involved and she even admits that she now drinks beer what a shock so she's now given up many of the crucial tenets of the the high carb low fat lifestyle not all of them maybe but you know having a Green Bay having grains as the staple of your diet as opposed to mangoes as the staple of your diet makes a lot of sense even if you live in Southeast Asia this guy knows nothing is he a shill I thought he was a shill in the beginning but now I'm beginning to think that he really is probably a shill somebody is paying him to spread this negativity in the vegan YouTube community join my patreon anyway because patreon right now is the only income I have on planet earth but then he goes on to say something even more damning that for some reason these fruitarians actually think that their fruit is better than medical doctors medical doctors the faith healing elements you know the natural medicine element the delusions of fruit being better than modern medical science if this guy isn't a shill he's a complete and absolute idiot he said he's a theorist as I accused him to be two and a half years ago I mean he can't even run around the can this guy even run around the block eyes L can you run around the block I'm almost 20 years older than you if we both got on bikes I would absolutely slaughter you on my fruit diet I don't know what diet you're eating I don't even know if you're vegan who's paying you to say these things that's what I want to know who's paying so now the drugs prescribed by medical doctors are better than fruit this is utterly ludicrous the body can heal from any disease if it's allowed to then he goes on to say that Crohn's disease is incurable that it's ludicrous to think otherwise to think that our fruit diet is going to heal us from anything claiming they cured all kinds of diseases that are not curable well the body heals itself if you get out of its way as I've said over and over again if you want to improve your health if you want to heal any disease fruit and fasting is the way to do it this guy he's recommending whole grains over fruit we're not grain eaters birds are the only species that I can think of that our natural grain eaters we have to process grains very high temperature the fiber in grains is like glass you want to get Crohn's disease eat a lot of wheat eat a lot of dairy eat a lot of foods high in lectin fruit and fasting the body will heal anything but I Zell says that these are incurable diseases that it's ludicrous to think that we can heal them allopathic medicine is superior to fruit our natural food this guy is an imbecile he's got to be a shoe nobody could be that stupid somebody's paying him to spread this dark negativity like foul tentacles through the vegan YouTube movement [Music] evolution
