Yesterday I found some news that is concerning in my opinion to veganism and while I do feel like veganism is exploding and the world is changing. At the same time as I predicted.. The other side is also becoming more passionate and there's more and more conflict.
Also as I predicted.. Sv3rige and the raw meat eaters would grow.
He released a video a number of days ago where he went to a vegan protest to eat raw veal heart in front of them as protest.
A little bit of a scuffle broke out and there was some pushing and shoving.
And.. It seemed like sort of just another one of these raw meat eating protest vids which had been done numerous times before.
Then I check the other night cause I just check some of these channels somewhat regularly to see what they are saying, cause I like to inform myself on both or as many sides of a story as possible and not limit myself to just one.. And the video was now up to around half a million views... Which most of his vids probably seem t get like.. 10 thousand views or less, I think. So it went decently viral for whatever reason. Then I read through the comments and my heart just sank..
So many people were calling him a hero for doing this and suggesting violence towards vegans.
One guy even said something like.. He laughed when Sv3rige pulled out the veal heart, or something like that..
And just so many people glorifying him and basically saying that what he was doing was something needed more in the world.
This EXTRA bothers me because.. Once again.. I could not find one single comment that was critical of him or any of it.
This is almost certainly because he censors everyone who disagrees. I experienced it first hand before his channel got so big, and I've never once seen a comment in his videos that was critical of him.. Somehow.. He manages to delete and censor them ALL. Or.. Almost all of them.
So it's really just like a group jerk off/echo chamber and countless people celebrating and glorifying harming animals while also threatening violence to vegans and there's no one speaking back in opposition because they all apparently and seemingly get censored/banned.
This is a major reason why I planned on including sv3rige in the "False Leaders" movie I want to make... Cause.. Something is fucked up if you won't even allow the other side to speak.
That kind of censorship rarely ends up in a better world in my opinion. As much as we disagree with each other, if we prevent genuine conversation.. It's probably not going to end well.
I also predicted this kind of stuff would probably eventually end in violence, and.. I think this is further evidence we're going in that direction if it hasn't happened unreported in places already, which I think it probably has.
I think this is really becoming similar to.. Other issues where people may be harmed because of their skin color or sexual preference or whatever, this may be another thing where people start becoming targeted because of their diet choices. May already be happening, on both sides as well. I'm not going to pretend everyone on the "vegan" side is a Ghandi, I've seen quite a few who wish or threaten violence on others.
I mean.. The little scuffle in the video where they were pushing each other is already enough to show me that this debate is starting to go in a physical direction.
And.. It's largely in my opinion because of people like Sv3rige who go out of their way to try to provoke such kinds of responses by angering people who are fighting for a moral issue.
A lot of people say "he's just eating in public" And in a sense, it's true.. But you have to understand that in the eyes of vegans and people who really care about animals.. He basically had one of their brothers or sisters murdered and is eating their corpse in front of them. Of course some people are going to get upset. Sv3rige knows this and he goes to these events trying to provoke such. That is clear to me.
It's not the same as someone going with a banana to a slaughter house to protest, almost no one associates plants with sentient beings, and if they do.. They are disregard science and many other important philosophical points like.. You would still save more plant lives by being vegan even IF they were sentient.
So I mean.. To all those people who are just like.. "Vegans can't handle us protesting in the way they protest".. Holding a sign and saying don't harm animals is a lot different than harming animals.. In one case there is a victim. That's a major difference. It would almost be like during times of more obvious slavery+racism if someone was protesting to request more rights for African Americans, and then the KKK came in and lynched someone right in front of them.. I mean.. That's sort of what the difference is like if you're willing to see it from a vegans point of view.
Now that his video blew up so much, and he's censoring opposition so well and growing a literal "cult" of many people threatening violence on others.. I think it's only a matter of time until more and more people replicate what he is doing and monkey see monkey do go around protesting vegan events by eating animal corpses in front of them and more and more scuffles will break out and I think some real fights may happen or worse.
When reading the comments of his video I already saw people planning more events like that one.. I mean.. I've been criticized once before for fear mongering in regards to this subject, but I think it's just more and more clear that this is the direction the debate is heading.
Once again, largely because sv3rige chooses to demonstrate in such a violent way and offensive to vegans way. If he could set up some major debates, and respectfully argue his point in an academic professional sort of way.. I'd have much less problem with that. If he acted more like Jordan Peterson you know? Or even Joe Rogan.. And kept it in the realm if discussion and serious discussion. But.. This.. Going around to vegan events and eating animal corposes to provoke them I think is going to lead to more and more violence.
Not the direction I wanted to see things go. It's one reason I'm kinda bummed.
This isn't going to be the "easy win" a lot of vegans probably think. This is probably going to be a savage battle that for some individuals will leave the mental realm and enter the physical realm in terms of violence.
And one of the things that annoys me the most is that most of these people probably have no idea about his other comments, how he glorifies serial killers and says they are the real heroes..
How he encourages people to do whatever they want, including drinking baby blood out of goat skulls, but essentially everything including rape and murder and torture.. He says do whatever you want.
And.. This is the person that thousands and thousands and thousands of people are rallying behind calling a "hero". Some guy who champions eating raw and rotting meat and who almost killed himself sun gazing and who believes the earth is flat and that drinking water is bad and that you should only drink blood or juice, which is weird cause.. He's so against plants in regards to the juice part and thinks they are all poison.. Furthermore he thinks cancer and viruses are good and healthy.. And this is the person so many thousands are calling a hero... major sigh
It's discouraging, I admit.
PS.. How does Alex Jones get banned, but this guy is still posting shit like "serial killers are heroes"?????
Something is fucked up and wrong there. Not that I support banning Sv3rige for his freedom of speech even if it could technically be similar to falsely screaming "fire" in a movie theater and getting people hurt and stampeded and killed as a result, I'm just saying.. What did Alex Jones say that was so bad? I doubt it was anything like.. "Serial killers are heroes".
PS.. I just want to say I am a vegan and I doubt I'll ever go back to animal products, but I admit I don't know everything and maybe there is some kind of science to support some aspects of such. A good amount of people seem to report positive effects after going 100% carnivore, however..
This is unstudied territory. There's no studies I'm aware of in regards to 100% carnivore or raw meat/rotting meat consumption, these people are essentially acting as lab rats and I think will likely have serious health problems down the road, especially cause the little data we do have to show from primitive cultures who have similar diets, doesn't look good. or positive or healthy longterm.
