    About this Episode

    If you’ve ever met a vegan, you’ve probably heard the arguments about the problems with eating meat.

    You’re also probably familiar the stereotype of vegans being anything but persuasive in their approach.

    Why are vegans annoying?

    We explore cognitive dissonance, the social psychology behind minorities more effectively persuading the majority to their point of view.

    Do you hate vegans? Why? When they talk about cruelty, does it make you feel uncomfortable?

    Are you sure it’s them that you hate?

    Maybe it’s the consequences of some of your actions?


    Have a think about it. Maybe go beyond binary thinking.

    Try a vegan meal. The animals will thank you for it. I’ll thank you for it, and I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it.

Yet Toby and Chris had the pleasure of discussing the nuance in the differences between Marxist and Anarchist thought from Comrades: Brenton Lengal (Snow White Zombie Apocalypse, & Buenaventura Durruti), and Duncan Moore and Ryan Aldred (National Committee of the Socialist Party). We managed to avoid it descending into a confrontation, and an inspiring discussion was had.
