Addressing lies that @LakhshyaSpeaks to "justify" backstabbing the forgotten victims of his choices
Edit dated March 12, 2026: I am not vouching for people that I have mentioned in the video. I have strong political disagreements with a few of them, which I was made aware of, after the video was published. However, it is important for me to point out, that the activist I mentioned in the video—who goes by the name "Darshan Defends"—has admitted to raping a fellow animal rights activist, which I was unaware of, when this above video was made. The details can be found here.
After pretending to be "receptive" to the cause of the non-human animal liberation from the human-led oppression and tyranny; self-proclaimed anti-oppressor Lakhshya Speaks threw the non-human animals and animal liberation under the bus, while blatantly lying and gaslighting people, verbally-abusing the activists and more importantly, failing to even acknowledge that the non-human animals are also oppressed.
Lakhshya says he "agrees" with the philosophy, but why he refuse to change his mentality and actions is beyond me. When activists held his feet to fire, his excuses were just a spin-off of the typical illogical statements oppressors have used throughout history. Does he give any justification? No, he hides behind red-herring of "first tell your family", "what is your caste location?", or "why are you questioning me?" and later on, he laughs mockingly about the topic and even says "humans come first". He also accuses the activists to be casteists, with no evidence.
I think it is important to call out the bad faith nature, so that those, who are truly anti-oppression can see the breakdown of the story in its entirety, and come to the conversation of eradicating injustice in a more responsible and accountable way.
I don't think as of now (I am typing this as I upload it), there is much to add in the description which I have not already covered in the video; but I am open to having a good-faith conversation about it, should I have missed out on anything.
Just one suggestion, should you disagree with his clear lack of care for the non-human animal victims; don't make any ad hominem attacks, or sly comments. But do call out his bad-faith arguments and hold him accountable for the oppressions he chooses to de-prioritise or even completely ignore.
