12. YouTube, Social Media, and Real Life: Unfiltered Thoughts




The Vegan Vanguard show

Summary: Rundown<br> In this episode we talk about our experiences in the minefield that is online (leftist, vegan) activism. We talk about vulnerabilities, gendered responses to our work, speech habits, view counts, the efficacy of debates, and much more. We also discuss how to navigate the real world as an online activist, and finish with some tips for people looking to build community around them in real life. We hope it’s as therapeutic a listen as it was to record!<br> Sources and Links<br> <br> * Mexie’s YouTube channel: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/c/Mexie">www.youtube.com/c/Mexie</a><br> * Marine’s YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Highonfruit1">https://www.youtube.com/user/Highonfruit1</a><br> * Mexie on Rev Left Radio talking climate change, veganism and radical food politics (shameless plug): <a href="https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/food-and-the-environment-climate-change-hunger-veganism">https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/food-and-the-environment-climate-change-hunger-veganism</a><br> <br> Support the Show<br> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/veganvanguard"></a><br> <br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br>  <br>
