Are Climate Activists Hypocrites? | Street Interviews

I am traveling across the United States indefinitely, doing as much activism as I can.

"You're asking the governement to change your own behavior" very on point for some environmentalists. Awesome interview skills.

[lunaalice]

It's so hypocritical though - waving placards but having no intention of doing what needs to be done themselves. If even the activists are making excuses for themselves we're doomed.

[Lb-riwr]

I love how that one person was like "we shouldnt tell people you're not doing enough" yet they're at a ralley protesting saying the people arnt doing enough. What a nob.

[jacuzzijay]

Climate activists: We need change!!!!
Vegans: Who’s ready to
Climate activists: .... but I like beef

Hypocrites 😒

[TheZhawa]

The kid in the glasses talks about human apathy, but immediately displays the perfect example of human apathy. Great convos!

[soniarivera]

Self-centered individuals asking for others to change the World 🤦🏼‍♀️

[hudsontarlow]

Benny your patience is unreal! This was fantastic, that pony-tail dude was so receptive as well 👌🏻

[justababsy]

Your patience and ability to lead them through their hypocrisy is admirable. Their inability, finger pointing, blame transferring and refusing to connect the dots is tragic.

[MitchPhillips]

I love that people say 'I'm doing what I can' when it's abundantly clear they're putting their own agenda before REALLY doing 'what they can'.

[corpsecandy]

They all say action is with the biggest action they can make excuses.

Hypocritical cowards. No compromises for mother earth.

‘’we shouldn’t be making people feel bad about not doing enough’’ YES we should. The dying earth does not have time to wait so that you can feel comfortable with your selfish choices. The animals suffering and being tortured to death don't care about your hurt ego and you wanting to hear good things about your unethical choices. No - you are NOT doing enough. Your feelings are not more important than what’s happening right now. Your shame tactic didn’t work. You’re not the victim.

[karenkottlowski]

I love your last sentence. “You’re asking the government to change your behavior when you could simply change your own behavior.”

[liorkosoy]

"I live with my parents who are not vegan so i cant be vegan" lol what? Educate them, be an exapmle, and youll see how they turn vegan

[Kinikia]

"I don't have time to be vegan". I do however have all day to hang out with a sign demanding others be the change I want to see in the world.

[jchrst]

I did not think I would EVER be able to give up meat. It has now been one year since I last ate meat. It is possible. Great video Benny!

[FaunoDufaux]

This is living proof people don't think for themselves, they all just follow bandwagons and virtue signal

[Ammeo]

Love your street interviews. Also, one cant be an animal lover or a climate activist if he/she isnt a vegan.

[craigo]

This video makes my brain angry!

They’re all holding up boards about climate change and blaming the government etc but when presented with facts and questions they make the SAME excuses as what the leaders make WTF, it’s bizarre

[embraceuncertainty]

Watching these kids make excuses for their direct negative impact on the environment and their apathy regarding animal suffering does not give me much hope for a better future.

[benpharrison]

“I really like steak though”, “I don’t have the strength to give up burgers”, “not everyone can be vegan” PATHETIC excuses and illogical justifications. These people are a disgrace with their cliche weak a** excuses.
