  • This is where I believe Karl Marx’s concept of alienation becomes more of a blessing than anything else. Marx argued, broadly speaking, that under capitalism, workers are doomed to feel disconnected (alienated) from the work they do. I think this disconnection works wonders in the kinds of jobs where what you do has negative consequences. Employees can pull a Nuremberg: “I’m just following orders,” and that way, even though they’re technically helping to create more harm in the world, from their point of view, they were just doing their job. Surviving, like all of us.

    It is a clear conscience achieved through self-emptying.

    (There’s also the case of people who honestly enjoy causing harm in the world, but that’s a separate issue.)

    The “carnic industry” is the people, the suppliers…

    Yes, exactly!

    …and the consumers.

    *Facepalm*

    You think dismantling a factory farm alone is going to end meat consumption?

    Literally yes? Though not just one, obviously. Also, the total end of meat consumption is stupid; reducing it is more feasible.

    Now some people might complain that killing humans in defense of animals is morally wrong, but taking the moral high ground has never worked for converting anyone.

    The hell are you talking about? Are you just saying stuff and using my words to look smart a cocky?
