  • It’s so sad, because veganism is a good force in our culture. Look at all of the vegan meat alternatives and more and more restaurants that have to have at least vegetarian options in certain areas. That wasn’t a thing 20 years ago.

    Vegan diets help the environment and improve health. But many vegans get this brain rot, probably a consequence of a superiority complex where they have to police everything around them. It happens in a lot of communities.

    I’m not a vegan. But the idea has me eating less and less meat every year.

    I’ve commented flavors of this one or two times but:

    The major issue I have with Mr. Beast, if you watch any interview with him, is that first of all, he got his money by a fluke. It’s a little vague (I admittedly don’t watch much of his content and only tertiarily gained knowledge of him) but he got his initial money off of investing in Bitcoin super early and parlaying that into a YouTube career.

    The insidious thing about Mr. Beast is that if you watch his interviews, he thinks that he is an example of how the world is supposed to work. People are supposed to get obscenely rich by chance or by the occasional virtue and are then supposed to filter that money back down by giving back to the world like senor beast. The only problem is that there aren’t more people like him.

    It’s been his deal for a while but his sentiment is seen as wholesome because he plays it off by admitting “yeah I’m lucky so I’m just trying to give back.”
