is it just me or does this look like a
call to you no maybe it's just me you know what maybe it's the music that's the problem if we just switch up the soundtrack if we put the same clip to different music it won't look like a cult at all shut the Cassie king who was the good-looking red-haired girl there singing in the crowd there are rumors there were rumors there were rumors that her relationship with Wayans young might be more than merely professional all these people are open about the fact that they like live in the same apartment and sometimes sleep in the same bed but um you know I the notion is going around that the relationship between Cassie King and Wayans young the relationship at the top of the leadership of direct action everywhere might have more to do with who Wayne is sleeping with than any kind of democracy or any kind of like responsible management of a non-profit foundation through its Board of Directors or like corporate governance or some concept like that that's just a rumor that's out there people were shocked when I said on my youtube channel I didn't even know it was the first one is that people who are shocked when I refer to Wayne and Priya as sleeping together I had people I think was doing like two people I was one I really remember people who were at the top level of the see and who knew Wayne like face to face in present role I have people writing me saying who told you that Wayne was sleeping with Priya and like who told you it was okay to talk about that at YouTube's they were like confirming it I was like what isn't it obvious doesn't everyone know that and they weren't acting like no no like that's supposed to be secret nobody's supposed to know that the top of the organization is Wayne and the woman he's sleeping with and you might not have noticed there's been this subtle change throughout the whole organization as Priya's role has been minimized and she's been pushed to the side and she's increasingly doing her own thing on her own Instagram and is no longer the face of the leadership of direct action everywhere and Cassie King is taking over as the short exe hey good for her good for and you know what as far as I know these are all consenting adults I do not know if Wayne is currently sleeping with Cassie King or not I got nothing but love for you you know what my wish is you know what my dream is my dream is that Cassie King gets pregnant with Wayne's Yong's child they stop all of this [ __ ] and they go and raise a baby together and they just they stop polluting vegan activism with their insane horseshit that's my fantasy and you know what you know what I'll take a second best is that Wayne's young finally goes to prison for 60 years something he's been boasting about doing for so long none of us would be in this situation if the authorities in California would just enforce the law this guy breaks the law again and again and again and he collects huge amounts of money in donations going out in eliciting people sympathy because he's gonna go to prison for decades for his convictions just put him in prison already he knows what the law is she knows that he's violating it he knows why he's violating it he is a very clear financial interest where he is benefiting in terms of money fame power respect sex yeah I said it's sex also it's part of his sex life as rockstar law breaking trespassing sweets young it's part of the package deal he flatters young people and uses his leadership role in txt to impress them and gain their trust well what I suggest you do is send a message a mentoring call and all of this is premise on the idea that he's willing to go to prison and he's begging you to go to prison and he keeps breaking the law he keeps going to court and the government in California just won't enforce the law against this guy and it put Wayne out of his misery but the whole organization out of her misery and you know what maybe Cassie King whether or not she's pregnant with Wayne's love Jeff maybe she can take over the leadership of that organization of bring it in a more positive direction I have seen Cassie make some intelligent videos here on YouTube and some of them are on Instagram I have seen her do some intelligent things and some intelligent work and that's more than I can say for Wayne Wayne in my books is a grade-a [ __ ] I've read his writing I've heard his interviews I haven't just seen him in YouTube videos Wayne is a complete deadweight drag of the vegan movement I hope he eliminates himself or I hope he goes to prison or I hope he gets someone pregnant and settles down and starts a family already man the purpose of this video in case you didn't guess is basically to promote leafy greens who started her series episode one I think is gonna be less salacious and talked about the nepo sowed two leafy greens is a youtuber who was involved with direct action everywhere in her teenage years and she was involved with Wayne personally in her teenage years and in part two she's gonna talk more about that personal relationship but part one is nevertheless an expose and a reflection on direct action everywhere and its methods and why Wayne is a terrible person or a terrible leader in the big a movement okay here's my reflection on this I feel sorry for these and it's not uniquely linked to veganism why I feel sorry for them yeah I mean the vast majority of the work that we do we've done some of this abuse before outside of slaughterhouses in factory farms I feel sorry for these people because a lot of them are reasonably highly educated reasonably intelligent physically fit people that they're not disabled they're not physically or mentally disabled that could do anything with their lives they could pursue political change and cultural change in so many ways that could make the world a better place in so many different ways and they're trapped in a false ideology premise on this assumption that the way to change the world is to stand next to the highway holding a piece of paper with a slogan written on it chanting and hollering as traffic goes by as people drive their cars to pick up their laundry pick up the dry-cleaning and go food shopping mm-hmm you know for prison for half a second they see you holding this sign saying Meat Is Murder to run out on a baseball field and interrupt the game for half a second so a bunch of people who don't care like who for half a second they get exposed to the concept that Meat Is Murder free-range is a myth or whatever it is they've written on the sign for that day this stupid toxic counterproductive notion of what politics itself is anymore you can't get arrested and we're gonna we suggest you get training into the nonviolent resistance before you do it yeah there is a young woman against the story she's not she's now a middle-aged woman no offense but she is there is a woman who was in a controversy on YouTube because she had accusations of sexual misconduct against a prominent left-wing political figure I'm keeping this all anonymous intentionally so about two years ago there was this controversy and you know I noticed that that woman she is now running she's standing for election in a small town in Michigan so like Wow okay so that's someone who kind of turned it around but she had a little bit of notoriety you know a little bit of Fame or something because of this weird situation with sexual allegations and counter allegations and the left-wing guy she had the allegations against he was fired from his job as a result of this controversy result of what he did what the allegations were put okay and I thought well that's that's kind of a positive thing but at some point in the last few years she got into mainstream party politics and she's now standing for election or so I took her name and put it into YouTube and you know with YouTube you can change the amount of time you're searching for you can search for one day one week one month one year and like the only YouTube video I found of this woman from the last year despite the fact that she's now running for up she's standing for election she's participating in politics I found one video of her not related to the sex scandal film one video of her leading a protest standing there on the pavement holding pieces of paper as traffic goes by chanting and hollering and this is their attempt to like end the war in Iraq right like so I forget where the University grades but I think she has a degree in something like politics political science she had some universities hugeness it's like and you think this is how you can influence foreign policy and war and you know the Congressional Budget Office or you know Congress or the center however you think of politics this is how you think you can and should change the world is standing on the sidewalk in the cold chanting at people who have absolutely no interest in even hearing what you're chanting this is how you want to pursue political change social change cultural change with all your education and background all the opportunities you have in life and even this limited opportunity we're enjoying right now on YouTube to reach out to one another and talk about politics and get organized this paradigm you're trapped in it the paradigm of protests of outrage of outpouring of emotions and then in Wayne's case in the case of Wayne and Exe the next step of going to prison of breaking the law and going to jail you think that's the like the mark of authenticity of taking it to the next one you think that's the most effective the most heroic form of activism and they're dead wrong in every level and years of their lives are going by they're losing decades doing completely counterproductive self-defeating nonsense like the protest itself is already counterproductive self-defeating nonsense they're going to prison is counterproductive self-defeating nonsense and the singing and the chanting and the holding signboards all the rest of it and there is this thing called democracy there's this real world of the pursuit of political change and there's this world of the arts and filmmaking and broadcasting and I mean you could do interpretive dance and have more of an if you could use dance and music to try to change the world you know I care about the politics of China I care about like communism and democracy and when we talk about politics there's past as present as future what what do you wanna do about it what do you want to do with pulse china do we ever think are we ever burdened by this you know delusion like would I ever turn to my girlfriend and say like well wow if you really care about democracy in China what we should do is get some pieces of paper and write slogans on them and then go stand by the side of the road and chance that we want like democracy and elections in China that'll do it oh no wing let's take the pieces of paper and the slogans of the chanting and go inside a grocery store and interrupt people buying their groceries it's fundamentally stupid it's a fundamentally flawed and broken and pointless and counterproductive mode of activism and the only insight Wings young has brought to this is hey you can make a lot of money if you keep ratcheting up the drama if you keep ratcheting up the consequences if you increase the sense of danger and you tell people you're going to prison for sixty years or they can go to prison for sixty years if you up if you ratchet up the martyrdom element then people will really go for it and there's apparently like an unseen mass of a hundred thousand elderly people I guess they're people old enough to remember the bad old days of the communist revolutions of the world who are gonna open up their wallets and their checkbooks and write you a check and send you money and they're gonna tell you over there you know good for you fight the fight I wish I could be there with you but I'm too old and rich so I'm just gonna pay you to upload your [ __ ] drama mongering shenanigans so that you will record yourself covering yourself in manure covering yourself in blood running into a [ __ ] fast-food restaurant and you're out so you'll do these stunts film your stunts upload them to youtube and then elderly rich people can watch them as like some kind of political trauma porn and sent you checks in the mail that is the mode of activism that wins young who started off with all these sanctimonious lectures about Mohandas Gandhi in India and dr. Martin Luther King jr. and how he wanes young had studied good he had taken his elite level of education he's been to law school he done the social science research to figure out what was the most effective form of vegan activism and what did he do he reproduced all the self destroy the stupidity of peda people with Ethical Treatment of Animals and the a LF the Animal Liberation Front and combine them into one big mess to get himself thrown in prison [Music]
