“Sometimes I think that the only effective and productive method of destroying speciesism would be for each uncaring human to be forced to live the life of a cow on a feedlot, or a monkey in a laboratory, or an elephant in the circus, or a bull in a rodeo, or a mink on a fur farm. Then people would be awakened from their soporific states and finally understand the horrors that are inflicted on the animal kingdom by the vilest species to ever roam this planet: the human animal.”—

NO NO NO!!
All of these things are indeed done by the vilest species to ever roam this planet, but it is not the human animal, it is the WHITE MAN!!
My people, the Bamileke people, has tremendous respect and fear for nature and its fauna that we regard as a mother that feeds us and without whom we couldn’t live and so do many many indigenous peoples on Earth who have been living in perfect harmony with nature for millenia.
Those barbarians practices were brought by WHITENESS!! This is why I am very serious when I argue that whiteness is the poison from which humanity must absolve itself in order to ensure its hopes of salvation.
Ladies and Gents, this was once again an umpteenth attempt of whiteness to put the blame and responsibility for the destruction of our planet on us all, the human race, which is extremely sickening considering that at this very moment indigenous tribes are relentlessly fighting capitalist white supremacy in the Amazonian and African equatorial forest for the protection of the environment.
As long as ecology doesn’t acknowledge that the destruction of our planet is the direct result of white hegemony and an eurocentric model of civilization that oppressed societies were brainwashed and/or forced into adopting, it will keep on failing at addressing the major keys issues and coming up with possible solutions. Anyway, given that many self-proclaimed ‘ecologists’ are white/westerners, I have little hope for that to ever happen.
Well, we are doomed, thanks white fuckers!!

I just CANT with with white people and their insistence that their posionous ideology is HUMAN and universal. ALLLLLL the fuck offs.

When White folks can blame PoC, then it’s JUST and ONLY our fault. But when the blame is in their laps, they suddenly are all about sharing and wanna pass that bitch around like a joint at a Funkadelic concert.

Can we also talk about the fact that white people have in fact made other human being live lives like that?
