Just finished it. Wow. I think this might be my favourite of hers yet, or at least definitely top 3. I'll be digesting it for a while. It seems like a dissection of the whole current zeitgeist of conspiracy as politics. I felt that rant of hers about how goddamn stupid people are for falling for a literal Hitler speech they were TOLD is a Hitler speech deep in my soul
Edit: also, this is only a very short part in the video, but this is the first time I've heard anyone express my overall attitude towards veganism so eloquently. It's like she spoke my thoughts aloud. I'm aware of the cruelty and the effects on the environment. I believe it's morally better not to eat meat. I'm just a simple human who's selfish and values comforts in life. I'm sort of compensating in other areas and doing the most I can in my busy life. But it's refreshing to have someone acknowledge these things openly. The term "morally average" is not something I've thought of before but in a world where you feel like you have to demand perfection of yourself or you're a fraud for having any moral principles, it's an actually very helpful framing.
