Henya Mania vs. Freelee & Joe Best.

27 March 2016 [link youtube]


What I actually have to say about Joe Best is much more reasonable than you might assume (more reasonable than he might assume, too), and it always has been. This is a four-minute snippet from an interview that will soon be uploaded in full, and, yes, Henya herself appears on-screen (briefly!). ;-)

I'm not saying that to just be
provocative that's really the conclusion of come to that's the way we want it to go because it's about abundance and giving people options as to how they want to pursue veganism you know it's not that we want the thing to go down I don't know a lot of people are out there wanting you know feeling Holly to fail and I want imbibers of you disappear but this right is not what is about so look don't disagree they're gonna go a step further there is such an irony here because I have so much in common with the people who hate me in Chiang Mai I did long-distance cycling I used to do more than a hundred kilometres a day in Thailand I short period time you didn't do no no no but it's not the meaning of life for me but I have that experience I rode my bike from VN shonda chiang mai one time vincenza capital city of Laos so that was going west into the mountains I don't remember but yet going along the Mekong River really curvy road and up and down hills beautiful very memorable very hard trip anyway but you say sir I've done long distance cycling I've lived in that part of Asia I've lived in Thailand and even I really have considered opening a small hotel at several points but I'm still like in the future it's possible do that it's possible I will live a life fundamentally no but that's i was gonna say i'm not so different from Joe best you know in the near future I could be living in a situation not so different from Joe best in a lot of ways fundamentally I should be an ally of these people we were natural friends not natural enemies we all want to support veganism and the abolition of animal agriculture of some kind you know there's so much common ground there and yet you see this hostility and infighting and you know again like there's always question i'm not i'm not opposed to compromise but what would any of us get from compromise hania the reason why the example painting is so significant is that hey yeah for my compromise with freely ordering writer I think this the significance of hannah has experienced the reason why so many people react what happened aha yeah is that Hannah shows that it's it's useless to compromise no matter how flattering you are or how polite you are what happened to hanging out will happen to you know already we already saw it happened to a whole bunch of other people but I mean I just say the example of chania is telling so so that no compromise is possible No so oh but no but I don't want them to fail sure like dial back to 2013 or something I would have absolutely have nothing could be better for me than if there was a cosmopolitan vegan movement based in chiang mai thailand they'll be incredibly convenient for me i'm gonna if i'm going to move back to kunming now which is my plan I could easily visit and participate and be part of the chiang mai seen it would be great for me Sarah of anyone in the world i speak the language there i don't know i don't know no [ __ ] does anyone in the chiang mai scene actually speak Thai does anyone in the chain my scene actually speak Thai I don't know even yeah I don't know if even one example but I do so I mean for me sure I could have in theory I could have opened a hotel like Joe best I could have gotten involved in as heavily and in theory I still could if it wasn't you know self-destructing already sure this could have been something really positive in my life personally and I could have contributed to what they're trying to do / you know in theory having a guy like me around who speaks Thai and wants to help maybe I could help more than Joe best maybe not I'm you know but nobody's saying this is just illustrate like there there is no inevitable hostility here not you know like there's no force of nature that separates us and makes us enemies and again hannya proves it what you know and I think Henny will fight if I came on and made a video about why I think you shouldn't eat hummus like you know this is the effect homeless has had in my life let's take in the background like a ghost oh we were just talking about hummus
