That's a good explanation, yet with a heartbreaking middle part.
I learned about the word #carnism there.
Luckily I got converted to go #vegan by my daughter years ago.
Ironically I tried to protect her from such cruelty, not knowing she was already far beyond me understanding what's going on. Silly parent, I am.
Now I can't unsee nor unlearn this.
That's the hardest part - the everlasting knowing of the cruelty. Hundreds of thousands of animals tortured to death just while I wrote these lines here.
All the funny quips from good friends... I smile, live with them, sometimes argue, but mostly accumulate tears.
And this isn't me trying to make a statement for or against #AnimalLiberation, just an acknowledgement that they have a really strong point that goes against an ideology (#carnism/#specieism) that is so ingrained into us from birth that most people have difficulty even beginning to question it.
It's a whole thing that's way too deep and nuanced to say it in 500 characters.
Again a poor brainwashed victim threatens to fall away from #carnism into the #vegan cult. 🥳 #sentientBeings #goVegan #compassion @vegan

“It’s the food chain.”
“No it’s not. It’s a belief system called carnism. Making you belief this is normal, necessary and natural.”

And #carnism is just one of many "normal, natural, necessary" given things we've inherited. This Sam Harris quote fits well here. "Free will is an illusion. Our wills are simply not of our own making. Thoughts and intentions emerge from background causes of which we are unaware and over which we exert no conscious control. We do not have the freedom we think we have."
I'm not sure that moste of the people who use the word #speciesism understand its meaning. #carnism #vegan #govegan #veganfood #contrast #words #actions
