Jester's Privilege: 24 Hours With The Vegan Teacher [Documentary]

people can? I'm not saying it, but I think so, you see, that's where we fundamentally disagree. I think there are no words I shouldn't be allowed to say and you should also be allowed to say any word you want, so think, are there any other words that are forbidden? words that come to mind there are some, um and I don't think it's necessarily not being able to say it, like not being able to physically say it, but I think it's like a sign of respect towards the people that you offend, so if there's no one in this room in this moment and say a word, except it's just you and me, how can that offend anyone?

And what I was just telling people is that I think it's not a bad idea that when words are thrown around you can try to claim from them who we are to be the word police and decide who says what because this has more far-reaching circumstances than what you think. I think he realizes it because when he starts banning words, he bans I thought and that's not right. I think we should be allowed to say whatever words we want. The C word. The F word. The N word. You name it, how many other words are there?

I keep saying the n word so I could tell you well, okay, you just said the n word, right, don't say the n word, you said the word N word Dash, okay, do you understand what I'm saying now? that's going to be bad because it's the same as the first thing which is the N-word that used to be the N-word with the hyphen that doesn't have a hyphen name like that's ridiculous, yeah, I'm going to pause the rotting brain right there, um, you're white. lady named Karen oh yes, fun fact, her name is actually Karen. I found out when I was leaving her house claiming that the n-word is what black people can choose to do, not what you think you can do as a white lady, you can't. decide that for you and you can't decide that for anyone else you don't have dogs in the fight shut up so if you could be any animal, what would you be?

I would be me, it would be you, yeah, the human animal, yeah, because my journey is fascinating, so we talked about this a little bit before, but I think when I made the original video, you know, I ridiculed you after you made the video about me, a lot of it came because I was a little angry because I was like doing the best I could, I guess, not eating meat and dairy, but I still ate fish, so I felt like I was being attacked by someone on the same side, which which was a bit painful. I think for me, I remember you saying.

Vegetarianism is just as bad as, um, eating meat, um, and I was wondering, you know, we're coming off how many years of people like, mostly, eating meat. Do you think maybe there's a little bit of nuance to kind of make things easier no we don't have time for that it's total if it was you it was your partner of them and just save some there's just nothing like that I know it's easy for people pick out like some of the harshest moments like, for example, that you mentioned, like saying you wish Sniperwolf hadn't woken up the next day before going to Ben because someone might hear that out of context, so just to touch , touch on what you said about Sniper Wolf, so Sniperwolf is a very famous YouTuber who made several videos about me ridiculing me and he said that he felt that because I was something that made him feel like punching a cow and then you know what There was a video going. around a boy hitting a cow and you could say it's unrelated and maybe unrelated but the fact is you have no right to talk that way because you have an audience that is young and impressionable and if they just listen a star who says it made me want to punch a cow.

There is someone out there, I guarantee you, who has hit an animal because of him because he is frustrated by something else in his life and is like an animal in front of him. just kick the cat, whatever, if she had said it made me want to punch you in the face, I would have said, okay, come find me, come on, I'd like to see you face to face so we can talk or I can. Run away because she'll probably kick my ass, but what I really meant by that was I said, you know, if someone like her didn't wake up the next day, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest and everyone's like I'm horrified, like I'm kind of a death threat, but it wasn't, and I brought the point up to him and I said, like he knew, if I said, um, you know, I wish Putin were dead, no one would think about it. twice, you know, I've seen her channel where there's like a fish thrashing around in the sink and she's laughing, she's eating chicken wings, she's going to McDonald's in the back of her limo or whatever and she's in a frenzy and she's just she talks about es non-stop, she's like a walking McDonald's commercial, she's just abhorrent, so I noticed you mentioned Sniper Wolf and Putin and all day we've been talking about speciesism, um and I was wondering, what about you? ? like equate what Sniper Wolf does in his videos like say laugh like a fish like let yourself fall you know sing like maybe like what Putin does is like a warlord um well what I'm saying is that neither of them need kill and I mean, just random.

I mean, I don't know enough about war. I understand that these two countries have a great history and I'm not really going to pretend to make a comment on that because I really don't know. There are all kinds of families that had to flee and among those victims were animals that were left behind. I just want to ask one last question and as I talked about this before, I saw on your table below that it says that future generations will look back. us and I wonder why the hell we ate me. I was just wondering how many generations you think it will be until no, that's the case.

I don't know, Ben, I think some of the generations are like that already. There are kids right now that I know who their

vegan

mothers were, they were born

vegan

and now they're teenagers and they say they don't understand why people eat me, they say I don't understand it. like because they grow up in a house or there is no meat, no eggs, no dairy and they are perfectly healthy, just remember that it is really true, you don't have to eat every meal, you can plan a little ahead and if you have ever arrived to the point where you're about to buy something that's not vegan or whatever, like you have my phone number, like you can call me day or night, I mean it, like you're saying: I'm sorry, am I stuck here? nothing but blah, blah, like Ben, listen here and I'm like, put your camera on right now and I'm like, "Okay, pretend my hands are on your shoulders, now don't get out of there." Everything will be fine, go to the supermarket, buy a banana, whatever, drink a big glass of water, you're still hungry, drink too, so after she effectively recommended that I get an eating disorder, um, I ended the conversation. okay, I think it's a wrap I'll stop cooking you under this light I packed my things and left see you later alligator bye, okay our Riverwalk I can basically come to the conclusion that she is definitely not playing a character and if she is, she deserves a Oscar because I don't even know a single actor who can commit to the part as well as she can.

I think the best way I could describe her is the same way you would describe anyone who is on the internet, you basically have their real self and then you have their online self which they present online, which is a very exaggerated version of themselves. themselves and in fact that's exactly how she described herself earlier that day off camera and I saw it first hand when I was recording and then she would realize that I was recording and she went into action like I was the vegan

teacher

again. I don't think she's crazy at all. In those 24

hours

that I spent with her I saw a really surprising amount of self-awareness and awareness from her of her online presence that I was talking about. to me about how she hates the lack of nuance in Tick Tock, how she's frustrated with how everyone takes Tick Tock's content at face value, she knows what she's doing sometimes and other times she just gets it completely wrong and that's the reality of the vegan

teacher

. her near-infinite mistakes and embarrassing vegan caricature of her infiltrated almost every aspect of vegan discourse.

She has become the punching bag of the Internet. She has ideas that offend almost all races, religions, sexualities, gender identities and yet at the end of the day she is literally just an old lady who is still figuring out how to use the internet, how can I get people to see the images of animals? Yeah, it's kind of hard to get people to click on the main challenge I have because I can stay there. and talk and do all kinds of things, but I don't know and I think it's very central: a deep, aching love for animals and a drive to save them in any way necessary.

She learned from all the vegan activists who came before her. be as loud and militant as possible and not stop and not be happy until everyone is vegan but that is not happening in our generation, we come from thousands of years of generational dependence on animals for meat and yes you can be vegan now same, and if you do you can be completely healthy but you can also be a pescetarian and vegetarian. You can even eliminate meat one day a week because it's your life and you can do what you can. I think the hardest thing to figure out was how to do it.

You tell someone that in the very battle they think they are fighting they are the enemy and well, you can't be a foreigner, a foreigner.
