Powerful mental currents are supposed to carry our minds away from reality. US plutocratic propaganda claims that truth is a matter of skin color. Or sex is a matter of chemical injections and amputation done to children suffering from “gender dysphoria”. Simple “dysphoria” is “treated” with amphetamines (“Ritalin”). One of these movements is veganism and animalism. A recent study showed that, in 16 weeks, in the average, adults on (self-controlled and administered) veganism lost 6 kilograms (so, in a year, they would die). Veganism can’t deliver many necessary oligoelements (B12, the absence of which causes senility; L Carnitine, etc…). Veganism is associated to animalism, which claims humanism should be rejected… Supposedly because our planet is small relative to the universe, so we humans can’t claim to be special… Stupidity has no bounds, and is the new religion.
Claiming humanism is less than animalism is to invert all values. It was done before.
Put some lemon on a live oyster, see what happens; it will react. That’s all the science animalists need to find out that mollusks are sentient (they sense). Oysters have nervous ganglia. That does not prevent me to eat them.
Guys who said there were “not humanist anymore”, we had them before: they were called Nazis, and their arguments were exactly the same (it’s all about survival, animals are thus equivalent to humans, intelligence does not matter, survival of the fittest does matter, beware cruelty to animals, etc.).
The point that humanism is inferior to animalism was convenient to Nazis.: if humanism was animalism, they may as well be animals. Also if one wants to leave all animals alone, one has to disappear. Hence disappearing people was a superior Nazi principle… supported by their beyond-humanism approach…
Fanatical animalistic, anti-humanist videos are on Facebook, which proudly proclaim: “Why I, as an Atheist, Am No Longer a Humanist“, where a little Internet Puritan cretin pontificates (for money $$$$$) on the insignificance of humans, and the glory of cockroaches (“a capacity to suffer is all what matters“). However Facebook’s censorship managers will block even quoting a New York Times article from 2/28/2021 which revealed what I have said for many months: the COVID virus is airborne, only open windows and HEPA filtration will stop it… Not masks…
Animal rights activists of the non-humanist type (I am a humanistic animal right activist), are actually enemies of the biosphere, because they want to deprive animal species of economic utility, thus bringing in their disappearance…
Amusingly great white sharks off Cape Town had become a major tourist draw… Until two orcas (“Killer Whales”) showed up. The two orcas used the method of splitting sharks in two by pulling hard on their pectoral fins from opposite directions… to eat their livers, and other delicious parts… It is a savage world out there, and that’s all right: orcas don’t kill humans…it would take them a fraction of a second to do that; I saw dolphins in the shallows, passing at the speed of a car next to me in the shallows in Casamance, at arm’s length… They were playing… At least nobody has ever reported an orca attack… I am sure homicidal orcas exist just as homicidal humans do…
Saving the species is more important than saving the individuals. In that sense I trust hunters more than animalists… SS “Guide“, Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler oversaw, among other instruments of extermination, the Einsatzgruppen, the “Special Groups”, the death squads, around 3,000 strong, which roamed behind the Wehrmacht. The Einsatzgruppen killed hundreds of thousands of Jews and were mostly composed of highly educated, older professionals, fully capable of hunting that wily prey, the adult Jew. Himmler, just as Hitler, were intensely squeamish about the fate of animals. Himmler once exclaimed to his physician, “How can you find pleasure, Herr Kerstein, in shooting from behind at poor creatures browsing on the edge of a wood…It is really murder.” The first time Himmler saw real Jews killed for real… he got sick (he got over it, though and then recommended the SS to train dogs to rip apart “racially inferior” humans…)
Overall what is promoted all over the Internet is crushing idiocy. Watch the COVIDIOTS with two superposed masks, in the middle of the wilderness, in the wind, covering their face with their elbow if they see you in the distance…
Why do the plutocratically controlled and owned media promote idiocy? Because stupid people are easy to control. And stupid people make for stupid culture which itself acts like a meta-control on the formation of the next generation, causing an exponential of stupidity…this is what happened with Islam, “What Went Wrong With Islam” as Bernard Lewis put it… And of course what went wrong with the Roman Catholic empire of the fanatical idiot Theodosius I, the Roman emperor who invented death for the unbeliever and heretics…
Stupidity and anti-humanism are promoted in many ways in the present day USA. The COVID masks-at-the-exclusion-of-fresh-air ideology, incomparably stupid (millions died from it) is an example (Europe has already outlawed most mask types). All the craziness about mutilation of children, is another new craze fostering stupid (there are around 40 such transgendering “clinics” in the USA, basically none in Europe)…
Hey, anything to not concentrate on who financed Biden… Questions for the animalists: Is it immoral to die? Is it immoral to kill an animal who would not have lived otherwise? Is it immoral to prevent animals to live, so they will not die? And why should we worry about the lives of snails, when thermonuclear war could happen any time? And when inequality, inequity, and the sixth extinction unfolds, while viruses loom and the biosphere is getting exhausted?
The answer to this is that there are more or less advanced forms of consciousness. Even vegans kill mosquitoes. Not admitting this is either hypocritical, dishonest, or, worst of all, stupid. Now the only thing that will save the other advanced animals is human intelligence. Cultivating stupidity instead, by telling us we are no better than mosquitoes, is, in animal welfare perspective, counterproductive. Animalism is incoherent as a moral discourse: it can be helped, only by human superiority…
