What can meat eating tell us about Western authoritarians? What can ideas about white manhood tell us about white supremacists' fetishization of meat & mammalian milk? What can ICE recruitment ads tell us about settler colonialism & its relationship to eating animals? This & more, March 26.

The true test of any of your claims to benevolence, to compassion or to moral decency is in your chosen treatment of us other sentient nonhuman animal individuals. Therein lies the real nature of your character. We know what you are.

A young pig individual in a slaughterhouse cowering in abject fear as a human worker stands above them wielding a weapon.
The levels of temerity & blatant hypocrisy of you who wax lyrical about ethics, about right & wrong whilst participating in perpetual, needless, gratuitous violence inflicted upon us vulnerable nonhuman animals for your nonessential ends are truly off the scale.

If you care about animals, both domestic and wild, go vegan. No more excuses, time is running out for all of us. #BiodiversityCollapse
Michael Pollan has done more to damage animal justice than any intellectual of our era--which is precisely why he remains the "go to" expert in the media on all things food and animal agriculture related. He plays to the willing mob.

The harm he caused with his book the omnivores dilemma would be hard to overstate. Instead highly recommend the book The Omnivoreβs Deception by @jsanbonmatsu.bsky.social

Four murdered male calves lie piled on top of one another on a plastic hutch on a dairy farm.
Apathy is not a proportionate nor justifiable response to the gratuitous violence that is enacted on an unfathomable scale. Complicity is blatantly inexcusable. But letβs face it, you continue to unthinkingly participate because you know you can do so with impunity.

The nearly universal belief in humansβ entitlement to farm, slaughter, and dismember our Animal cousins is a conspiracy that alienates us from the living world.
And that is bringing extinction, climate change, poisons and plastics everywhere, and all kinds of environmental havoc

Genuine morality can be nothing but outraged by the idea that other sentient animals are mere commodities, just objects to be treated as a means to human ends. If you can twist morality to serve such selfish interests, then morality is obviously immaterial to you.

The prevailing doctrine ignores the pain & misery of its victims but hides that odious truth & distorts the narrative to garner support from an easily manipulated, wilfully ignorant , self serving public, protect profit & reproduce & perpetuate its supremacist ideologies

Most people support raising animals to be killed and dismembered. They believe in some kind of God-given right to do this.
As a result, we are dominating and exploiting the living world to death.
Vegans know this. Vegans are telling you to do something about it.

ββ¦ animal exploitation is not a side issue in human history. It is foundational.
Herding, agriculture, surplus, property, hierarchy, patriarchy, warfare, and ultimately capitalism itself emerge from a worldview that first normalized domination over other sentient beings.β
This remains one of the most overlooked atrocities happening in the world today.

Black veganism isnβt purity politics.
Itβs remembering that liberation was never meant to be compartmentalized.
Food. Land. Labor. Bodies. Futures. All connected.

Also, we should care about animals because it's the right thing to do.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Youβre not interested in social justice, youβve sold out to convention. Youβre not interested in critical thought, you obsequiously acquiesce to unthinking, obedient conformity. You donβt love animals, your actions expose your callous, malicious contempt for them.

Itβs complicated, but this part isnβt: Grass-fed beef (from cattle that spend their entire lives on pastures) is worse for the planet and the climate than conventional grain-finished beef (from cattle that spend their last few months in feedlots).
Beth's book is revelatory, surprising, and incredibly helpful in thinking about what we do to farmed animals.

A still conscious young sheep individual who has been forced into a kill box is being held around the jaw by a slaughterhouse worker who is about to cut their throat.
Complicity in the abuse of fellow animals requires a deadening of the moral imagination, a war upon compassion & an unthinking, uncritical subscription to a gratuitously violent ideology. We must demean & debase ourselves to participate.
