à-bas-le-ciel: vegan politics and the politics of veganism Podcast artwork

This is the podcast that resulted after eight years of discussions on Youtube, where Eisel Mazard was the voice of à-bas-le-ciel, criticizing veganism from within, eventually reaching millions of views with his jarring portrayal of the vegan movement as a deeply corrupt and dishonest failure. AR+IO abbreviates the motto "Active Research and Informed Opinion", providing consistent numbering for all of the episodes (AR+IO-001, etc.) hosted by Eisel Mazard across many different podcasts, and united by one Patreon.

Our parents, why they didn't become vegan, and we did.

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.Find me on Instagram.

Peter Singer: Scumbag, Whoremonger, Professor of Ethics… and Fake Vegan.

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. ;-)Find me on

Unnatural Vegan: Why Everyone Hates Eisel Mazard.

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.

This is the End of the World: the Failure of the Vegan Movement.

Dec 22 2024 175 mins

Solar panels and wind farms aren't going to make the necessary difference: if the vegan movement fails, this is the end of the world. Some call it "global warming", some call it "climate change". Some prefer to speak more specifically about carbon PPM (parts per million) in the atmosphere, rising ocean levels, and so on. It's a simple problem with a simple solution, from a vegan pe

Alex O'Connor: Vegan Judas, Atheist Antichrist.

Dec 21 2024 68 mins

Formerly known as Cosmic Skeptic, Alex O'Connor was a major, influential leader in the vegan movement, and presented himself as a philosopher, arguing that it was morally obligatory for other atheist philosophers like Matt Dillahunty to be vegan —until, one day, he revealed that he wasn't vegan anymore, and, perhaps, if we just listen to what he said so plainly, he never was vega
