I actually have seen a person like this. All about respecting nature, giving advice about how to hug a tree, how to be spiritually connected, how to make small sacrifices to the spirits of the forest... and EATING MEAT!!!
Maybe it would be better to take up RPG or LARP as a hobby, I think.
Maybe this is my alltime favourite from Pupaveg.
I used to have an interest in “spirituality” - and still think crystals and incenses are nice, reading mythology is interesting, Tarot cards and runestones are exciting, symbols can tell quite much... but please, who does actually believe in such things over a mental age of 16...17? If only life was so easy...
Interesting yeah, fun yeah, but for me, it is on the same level as the fantasy role playing games. I do enjoy them, they can be fun and/or very therapeutic, but it’s just a game. I can tell a game or fantasy from reality.
Maybe this is why such spiritual persons get on my nerves.
They do believe in all this fairy tale blah, they quote “spiritual masters” (many of them are/were criminal cult leaders, in reality), they speak about chakras and spiritual purity and twin flames and karma... while they don’t give a damn about animals being killed. “I always make peace with the soul of the animal that was killed”, or “I thank the fish for giving their life before beating them to death”... oh go to the fucking hell.
I actually heard certain esoteric cult members state “yes I do eat meat, yes I know it is a rough and dirty thing, but I always make sure to energetically clean my body from the harmful vibes. It’s my body that needs meat and not me.”
Mental gymnastic yeah?
I know I have certain issues with growing up, but I am able to confront the harsh reality.
Animals will not be happier if you pray or meditate over the slices of their dead bodies.
For a fish, it does not make any difference if you thank them for giving their life. They do not give it, actually. You are taking it.
NamaSTOP being a goddamned hypocrite!
TW: eating disorder. Is it possible to go vegan with an eating disorder history? I’m in a vicious cycle of recovering from my ed, then going vegan, then relapsing again & using veganism as a way to restrict... I feel morally inclined to be vegan, but it keeps pulling me back into my ed. Idk what to do! I’m so frustrated.
This is actually a really common concern anon, it’s one of my most asked questions so you’re definitely not alone. I have a post which will talk you through the process here. You can feel free to message me anytime if you want to talk about it.
Yes you can be a vegan if you have ED or are in recovery from it!
An ED is basically not about what you eat or what you don’t eat - this is only the top of that iceberg. If you wish to recover - and not just “to be seemingly symptomfree” -, then you need to do therapy work.
This, of course, includes normalizing your eating habits, but you can do it as a vegan. (I could mention a few anorexia patients who aren’t or weren’t vegans yet they are or were extremely self-destructive.)
The main thing is recognizing and solving those psychological problems that led you to develop an eating disorder. In all probability, you will need a good and competent therapist - psychologist or doctor -, because you cannot get over a severe ED just by reading selfhelp books and being active in help-to-selfhelp online groups.
Yes there are many ED patients who use veganism as a mean to restriction or as an excuse for not eating (together with family or friends), but as you stated that veganism is not only a “diet” for you but something you feel morally inclined to adapt, this might be a very good challenge in your therapy work!
(I hope I don’t sound too “know-it-better” but I have certain experiences in this field.)
Even the “kindest” of farmers, the rare few who still run family farms, who genuinely do form bonds with the animals they rear, are committing an act of unconscionable cruelty. It doesn’t matter how “nicely” a farmer treats an animal, because at some point that animal is going to suffer the most vile betrayal imaginable. At some point; the human who they believe to be their friend is going to profit from their murder and dismemberment. They will pat them on the head, say their goodbyes and then load them onto a truck to the very same slaughterhouses that all those factory farmed animals end up in. They will knowingly send a young, healthy, sentient being, who they have bonded with, raised and named, to their death. All for money. And these people are the reason you think it’s ok to eat meat?
I have always thought this to be the ultimate cruelty.
Earning the animals’ trust, pretending to love them, while in reality, the only reason why they have them is PROFIT from killing them - this is not true love. This is calculated, premeditated murder.
“Stop comparing marginalized people to animals.”
The vast majority of vegans are also marginalized humans. WE made the connection that how humans mistreat each other is very similar to how humans mistreat other species. WE pointed out human oppression stems from the oppression humans inflict on other species. When privileged vegans make analogies they are repeating OUR words.
Stop erasing us, stop silencing us and stop talking over us.
Beautifully stated!
“Milking does not harm the creature”.
Oh no, these “spent” dairy cows are not being harmed.
They are just going to be killed humanely, since stealing their milk - and calves - is not profitable any more.
“Maybe the animals are too primitive...”
...is one of the dumbest, silliest excuses a carnist cound ever make.
I have never really understood how they meant it.
Does this mean “oh, animals are too primitive so their lives don’t count at all?”
If they mean it, why do they have companion animals? (No, don’t begin with “there are livestock animals and pet animals”. This is what they call speciesism. An average pig - for example - is actually smarter than a dog, and much cleaner if they are given the chance.)
Or, does this mean “oh, animals are too primitive so they don’t even comprehend they are being killed”?
This is untrue. They are able to experience pain, fear, and separation.
Even more ironical when the above statement - about the animals “being too primitive” - comes from a carnist who
- wonders if it was Johann Sebastian Bach who lost his hearing;
- asks if “Crime And Punishment” is a historical novel;
- discusses the problems of dog poo on the streets - while having coffee and cakes;
- thinks the toilet is an acceptable topic for conversation (like, how much does using the public restroom cost in certain countries; at the restaurant of an elite hotel, they have an employee whose only job is to watch over the restaurant’s toilets and what a boring job it must be; how the toilet of a restaurant tells much about what to expect when it comes to the food they serve);
- doesn’t know if Yuri Gagarin is still alive;
- comments (with an empty, hollow smile) “I am not especially interested” in the nation’s artist, the past century’s greatest Wagnerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad (and thinks saying it with a smile made her so goddamned polite);
- comments “I cannot see why (N-word) bleach their hair” and claims to not be a racist (!!!);
- comments the art of Andrea Bocelli with a “how interesting it is, the blind are so skilled!” Good to know that for her, such an enormous artist is considered to be “skilled”. And good to know that it correlates with the fact that Bocelli had lost his eyesight in childhood :(((((
- was unable to finish reading “The Master And Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakov, because “there were too many names in it”;
- does not know what the words “heroic” and “elitist” mean;
- speaks with food in her mouth;
- is sitting with her elbows on the dinner table at the oh-so-exclusive luxury restaurant.
And she dares to say - with the usual empty smile - that “maybe the animals are too primitive”.
Who is the primitive one, really?
I just stole this from Facebook
ive been legitimately laughing at this for like 3 days
Beginning day 1.
Sad but true.
Vegan. And a lifelong Accept fan.
I unfollowed Wolf Hoffmann’s Insta account, because he posted a pic he thought to be funny, with a description he thought to be funny. A dead shark hanging on a ship, with the text “well this shark seemed to have been not fast enough” (we all know the classic Accept song this is related to).
Shame on you Wolf.
No matter what an awesome guitarist you are, this was not funny.
I still look up to you as a musician, but it’s unacceptable (pun intended) for civilized people to make fun of dead animals’ corpses.
Their delicate _false illusion_ of superiority, to be more accurate.
I love your blog! I’m a huge King fan; here’s his autograph on my UK edition of The Shining.
Amazing!
Lucky you!
My alltime fave Stephen King novel! (I am actually re-reading it now in two languages, simultaneously.)
Savage
High five for everyone who understands this!
Judge a man, not by the color of his skin, but by the color of his IDE theme.
Or, even better: by their choice of using an IDE or just a plain editor. (Okay, I know most editors’ colour scheme can be customized, but it still says much...)
It takes less space…
Not funny at all :(
