à-bas-le-ciel: vegan politics and the politics of veganism
Youtube is dead: the lost avant garde of intellectual dissent on the internet.

Implicitly, this is a significant contrast to my old "manifesto" titled On Community, although it does not address the thesis of that video, directly, in any way: if you regard this as a manifesto, it is addressed to the youtuber (or podcaster) as a solitary intellectual dissident, cultural critic, commentator and comedian --not as the center of an incipient community, pulling together like-minded people (as per "the spirit season one") with an ambition to accomplish something more than they could ever attempt alone.

What if Shame Gets Results? #vegan #vegans #veganism

This is a crucial question for the future of the vegan movement, and for how we talk to our own closest friends and relatives: can we have a positive attitude toward shame as a motivating factor in personal and political change? It's a question that comes uncomfortably close to the overlap between religion and psychology... and that's exactly where we're gonna go in finding an answer.

à-bas-le-ciel: vegan politics and the politics of veganism
The Treason of the Bikini Models: vegans after the end of veganism, politics without a political movement, intellectuals with no intellect.

"There is no we." There is no vegan movement anymore, for some of the same reasons that there is no BLM movement anymore —and for some of the same reasons that there is no atheist movement anymore. So, for those of us that remain, after the end of the vegan movement: what now, what next? It's deeper than Youtube, it's deeper than Instagram.

à-bas-le-ciel: vegan politics and the politics of veganism
I am more attractive than you, it's genetic, don't blame me, I was born this way.

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, you will be. ;-)
