Antispeciesism - Tumblr Posts

I nostri nipoti un giorno ci chiederanno: "Dov'eri tu durante l'Olocausto degli animali? Che cosa hai fatto per fermare questi crimini orribili? A quel punto, non potremo usare la stessa giustificazione per la seconda volta, dicendo che non lo sapevamo. - Helmut Kaplan #vegan #vegangirl #vegantattoo #veg #veganism #antispeciesism #animalliberation #freeanimals #unchained #stopaninalabuse #ink #inked #inkedgirl #tattoo #tattoos #girlswithtattoos #purplehair #nails #like4like #likeforlike

Something I've noticed about ignorant people that makes it kind of hard to get through to them, their reasoning or "proof" is always "I have this opinion, and I'm me, so I'm right." They've only ever experienced the world from their own point of view, so they see no reason to empathize with anyone or anything "other." The only way I see to help them would be a form of trickery- get them attached to something or someone, get them to empathize- and then suddenly that thing or person is revealed to have a different philosophy, or they make a point that puts a little seed of thought in their mind. The intention is to make them question their own bigotry by realizing they can't enjoy certain things if they hold onto it. Unlearning prejudice and overcoming ignorance is a process, because no one wants to admit they're wrong. Everyone believes their moral code is the correct one. This will take time, but in some cases, it is worth it to try. I'm happy you listened this long.
