How Should Vegans Navigate Human Issues? (Livestream summary)
Channel: Jeremy The Ape
Date: 2021-03-28

Are human issues relevant to animal advocacy?  Can the left work with the right? Find out in this short video summarizing my first Vegan Interactions Live!

A couple of weeks ago I had a chat with Jasmine also known as 'Vegan Ariel' on YouTube.  We talked bout a myriad of different topics, however a common thread was whether or not human issues are relevant to animal use and how to apply these ideas to our advocacy as individuals and as a movement.

The concept of echo chambers also got raised, and how this might limit the movement.  Towards the end of this video I introduce what could be considered to be a controversial idea for how we can start to break down these echo chambers.  I suggest that even if we don't necessarily agree with others by opening up dialogue with those who we disagree with we can better understand alternative view points and perhaps learn from them as fellow animal advocates.

Topics include: 
0:00 Intro / framing
1:32 What's your activist story?
2:47 Are human issues relevant to AR?

3:35 How does the vegan definition navigate human issues?
3:54 Are (non-rhetorical) animal rights relevant to human rights?
4:29 Applying these ideas to our advocacy
5:20 Focus vs scope framing

6:19 How to navigate politics
8:32 Can the left work with the right?
9:41 Breaking down echo chambers
10:04 Outro
