à-bas-le-ciel: vegan politics and the politics of veganism

à-bas-le-ciel: vegan politics and the politics of veganism

This is the podcast that resulted after eight years of discussions on Youtube, where Eisel Mazard was the voice of à-bas-le-ciel, criticizing veganism from within, eventually reaching millions of views with his jarring portrayal of the vegan movement as a deeply corrupt and dishonest failure.

The vegan movement didn't tear itself apart out of pure stupidity: envy and the strange shallowness required to choose (and trust) political leaders primarily on the basis of their sex appeal… amounting to impure stupidity, I suppose. This is the least controversial video I've ever uploaded: "I am more attractive than you, it's genetic, don't blame me, I was born this way." Jealous? By the end of the video...

The only vegan perspective on the domestication of animals. The only one. Pets and "Petism": the single most divisive issue in the vegan movement —and the problem most likely to get you kicked out of it.

This is an interesting contrast to the conclusions presented in the book (Veganism: Future of an Illusion) written many years later, where the futility of trying to convert your relatives (parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters —sometimes even husbands and wives) is a major subject of contention. Philosophical, political, personal AND pragmatic contention.

I will need to upload a separate video dealing with Peter Singer's odious involvement with "Effective Altruism" entailing a direct connection to SBF from FTX (Sam Bankman-Fried) but here, for the moment, is a mere hour and a half dealing with the sex scandal of the century and the stupidest moral philosophy of the millennium… FROM A VEGAN PERSPECTIVE. ;-)

A long title for a long video: most of this can be understood as an audio-only podcast, but there are charts and factoids on screen in the "video podcast" version (along with the expression on my face, for better or worse).

You don't choose to be loved or hated: you choose to be known or unknown. And if it is inevitable, in choosing to make yourself known, that you also make yourself hated, then you must decide if you will be hated for reasons shallow or profound —if you will dispute things that are trivial or of great significance —with honesty or deception —with or without wearing a mask. The conflict between myself and "Swayze" (Unnatural Vegan) do...

Solar panels and wind farms aren't going to make the necessary difference: if the vegan movement fails, this is the end of the world. Some call it "global warming", some call it "climate change". Some prefer to speak more specifically about carbon PPM (parts per million) in the atmosphere, rising ocean levels, and so on. It's a simple problem with a simple solution, from a vegan perspective, and yet tremendously complex from so man...

Formerly known as Cosmic Skeptic, Alex O'Connor was a major, influential leader in the vegan movement, and presented himself as a philosopher, arguing that it was morally obligatory for other atheist philosophers like Matt Dillahunty to be vegan —until, one day, he revealed that he wasn't vegan anymore, and, perhaps, if we just listen to what he said so plainly, he never was vegan at all. Following in the footsteps of Peter Singer,...
