@timberwraith Jokes aren't apolitical they have implications and ramifications, in this case the normalisation of someone's body as a food resource.
There is a difference between a joke that comments on an abusive mindset (such as with irony or satire) and one that just takes it for granted.
In the same way a joke can be sexist or not depending on its connotations, they can be speciesist too.
Humour can exist that challenges abusive and exploitative ideologies rather than reinforcing them in the mind of the listener

Why do we draw arbitrary lines between species? ๐ญ If harming a dog feels wrong, why should harming a pig be any different? ๐ ๐ธ: joannemcarthurphotography (IG) | weanimals (IG) | aaron_gekoski (IG) | asiaforanimals (IG) #speciesism #endspeciesism #veganshare

The intelligence argument feels compelling. However, if intelligence defines worth, you've opened a door you really don't want to open. ๐๐ง https://veganfta.com/blog/2026/04/22/pigs-are-smarter-than-dogs-but-thats-not-why-you-shouldnt-eat-them-heres-why/ #speciesism #animalrights #veganism

I got condemned the other day for my allegedly "poor judgment" by a #humanist because I attacked this sort of thing, saying that Homo sapiens was, & IS, the most destructive #species that has ever walked on this #planet. Given the wholesale #destruction of #natural #environments, large-scale #pollution, & mass-extinctions of whole genera of #plants & #animals at our hands, so-called "humanism" is nothing other than arrogant #speciesism!

I am a paying subscriber of several years for tutamail and I am also an antispeciesist vegan
I like tutamail because of the commitment to renewable energy[1] and quantum resistant encrypted private emails; put the two together and there is nothing else like it I can think of.
I have a suggestion - I noticed that the junkmail folder is called "Spam" and features an icon of a bug.
"Spam" is a speciesist phrase as I outline in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115878036888467050and "Bug" to symbolize a pest/error is speciesist as I explained in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115970417941403799My suggestion is to rename this folder to "Junkmail" or equivalent and change the icon to perhaps a crossed circle icon or an exclamation mark or a halt hand gesture or if you wanted to be jokey about it a toilet
If there was a more appropriate place to submit this feedback I couldn't find it

Ik denk vaak over een ideale wereld waarin alle problemen niet meer bestaan. Dan zou er dus niks zijn om op te lossen, niks om voor te strijden. Heeft het leven nog zin, als we nooit ruzie hebben, nooit ziek zijn, geen oorlogen meer voeren?

To the animals with a knife to their throat right now no action that I see vegans taking will be radical or extreme enough to save their lives. Every day vegans fail them, and we have limits yes but we should never prioritise our human-privilged comfort over their liberation (such as avoiding awkward conversations about why we wont sit at a table)
I think of all the things I would justify to escape the kill chamber myself and then I feel ready to take on the world with pride.

How does everyone feel about "Total Liberation" when you hear it is there any liberation struggle that you feel is being excluded?
The main reason I don't use it is because I think it contributes to minimizing individual struggles that are already pretty overlooked like antispecieisism antiableism antisanism antiageism etc so I usually prefer to name each struggle individually
In fact I hardly hear anyone identifying with it but I appreciate the no-compromises attitude behind the concept
-
If you genuinely think that the solution to bias in science is to just do science better then you really need to read some critical theory, maybe critical race theory or something (the concepts translate to lots of domains but i think this is the most written about)
And why did you refer to it as "animal research" rather than "non-human animal research"
Yes I am comparing it to racist IQ test because the concept of measurable intelligence was invented by racists and the concept still carries the same assumptions implicitly even if the explicit intentions were written out. And because the spore remains it translates quite nicely onto speciesism and human supremacy as I have outlined above

@thejessiekirk It is possible to study the behaviour of other animals scientifically - but the idea that it is based on an innate intelligence is speciesist and human supremacist. Intelligence is usually defined in ways that put humans on top, just like how IQ tests were usually and still sometimes are defined in ways that put white people on top.
-
@thejessiekirk Intelligence testing in non-humans is just racist pseudoscience repackaged as speciesist pseudoscience - they usually have extremely human supremacist and speciesist assumptions and methodology
Here is an example about how "intelligence" in other species is underestimated: the cow who was recently observed to use a brush as a multi-tool. They are a pet cow, which means they have the spare time and freedom to access and play with a brush to learn how to use it, but ask the average person about what science says about cows and they will say "they can't use tools they lack the intelligence thats what makes humans special"
And even when it is determined that a certain species is "intelligent" it just reinforces speciesism by creating a new classification of "intelligent" and "unintelligent" animals with different moral characteristics. Crows and elephants are considered intelligent because they have culture, memory and tool use but at what point in history have we allowed farmed animals the space and freedom to observe these behaviours from them?
-
All animals (at least all those that fall under the colloquial definition) are people because they all have personality memory preferences agency emotions etc

Anarchism is often seen as an idealistic naive and unexamined and privileged position - but I would argue that marxisim leninism is idealistic naive and uncritically adopted out of an adherence to warrior culture and the valorization of the power over others being the only way to change the world. Anarchist history is even more buried than communist history which is saying something but unsurprisingly those least privileged with the most to lose are often the most principled adherents to anarchist philosophy
The following essay the word "dog" was used as an insult for an obedient callous pawn. That is speciesism. Dogs have individuality and personality and are not inherently evil. With that criticism in mind I still think it is worth watching if you are curious about why marxist leninists view anarchists as naive and unread.

CW: re: discord
@miya Yes and the term "animal" here only serves to entrench a human supremacist mindset "we are the humans and the animals are over there in nature". Especially in terms like "Animal Welfare" "Animal Rights" "Animal Abuse" "Animal Lover" "Animal Testing" "Animal Advocate"

Interesting and insightful seminar today in Lund University, hosted by the Department of Critical animal studies.
The subject of the seminar was based on the new book by academic Chiara Stefanoni "The human and the meat". Here's a link for the book:
https://www.adlibris.com/sv/bok/the-human-and-the-meat-9783837679571
Description of the book:
"Over 85 billion animals are killed in slaughterhouses annually to sustain a profit-driven meat production system - devastating animals, workers, and the environment. How did we get here? How has capitalist society reshaped human-animal relations? Elaborating a novel materialist and intersectional framework, Chiara Stefanoni conceptualizes the social form of human-animal relations and its centrality within the interconnected structure of domination in capitalist societies, especially in relation to gender and class. Through a historical analysis of industrial slaughterhouses, the study reveals how the human/animal divide and meat-based diet are not timeless facts, but concrete social solutions crucial for the reproduction of capitalist society."
