  • I am more attractive than you, it's genetic, don't blame me, I was born this way.
    Mar 14 2025

    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. ;-)

  • Your dog hates you, your cat hates you, and Unnatural Vegan hates me, too
    Feb 28 2025

    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.

  • Our parents, why they didn't become vegan, and we did.
    Feb 20 2025

    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.

  • Peter Singer: Scumbag, Whoremonger, Professor of Ethics… and Fake Vegan.
    Feb 13 2025

    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. ;-)

  • Vegan Bodybuilders and the Politics of Pandering: Brian Turner, James Aspey, Greed and Cryptocurrency Corruption.
    Feb 9 2025

    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).

  • Unnatural Vegan: Why Everyone Hates Eisel Mazard.
    Jan 2 2025

    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) does in large part explain how I became such a notorious figure in the vegan movement, and it is linked to several different political, philosophical and ethical controversies that have never been resolved.
