You can basically tell how spot on an anti-speciesist comment is by looking at the angry downvotes. Thanks folks!
“Anti-specist” is wild lmao
TYL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism
So is "I'm more righter the more downvoted I am"
Those kinds of comments never seem to ask themselves if the same standard holds true for other comments.
Fair point. However, if you were more aware and perhaps critical of the carnist culture we are brought up in, you might see more for what they are the knee-jerk reactions to any pointing out the fact that, maybe, possibly, we shouldn't treat other sentient, living beings capable of feelings and suffering like they were disposable objects?
It's always a bit amusing to see people immediately go hard the other way when you point out the very obvious and factual: "uh, guys, this is corpse".
the speciesism wiki entry is very good, with well-formed arguments in favor of speciesism.
