#carpejugulum — Public Fediverse posts

For folks unaware of the reference, it's from a conversation between Granny Weatherwax and Rev. Mightily Oats, in Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum. Quoted:

“And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.” [Granny Weatherwax]
“It’s a lot more complicated than that –” [Rev. Mightily Oats]
“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.” [Granny Weatherwax]
“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes –” [Rev. Mightily Oats]
“But they starts with thinking about people as things …” [Granny Weatherwax]
