Fighting Antisperabbits scene, they together with two Fish witness two persons whipping to skeletons that seem to be alive. In the background the scene is equally slightly seeming “absurd”; an mill with a crucifix on the top of its roof. Wide scenery, Trees and Mountains that are visible in the background; a church. All it trenched in purple.
Compassion is not a sense of justice
The stench of coloniality—and of ethnic, religious, ideological, or whatever-kind-of supremacism—clings stubbornly to the notion of “compassion,” even as the starkest forms of injustice scorch the earth in their most grotesque expressions.
Don’t call it what it is? Why wouldn’t you?
Clinging to the idea of Homo sapiens in the face of ecocide, you not only partake in faunacidal ideology—you also refuse to call the Animals sapient. So please, spare us the rhetoric of “compassion” in a world saturated with senseless human hubris.
You wouldn’t talk to a Nazi about compassion, would you? You’d say that injustice against humans is a conscious act of willful evil. Yet I accuse the compassion-talkers of failing to see speciesism as a matter of fundamental injustice.
Human philosophies are riddled with confusions and evasions when it comes to self-concept and hubris. The legacies and cascading effects of half-baked knowledge—of thought built on subjugation of nonhuman life—are simply not enough to meet the gravity of this world.
