    “Eat the rich!” people exclaim, but as soon as they see the first step of how that particular sausage is made, they’re suddenly all vegans.

      Let me assure you, eating the rich is ABSOLUTELY vegan. All creatures deserve good health and in practice veganism involves seperating from and dismantling all of the power structures that subjugate others for personal gain, human and animal alike.

      I feel no pity for those that taunt a bull and get gored nor do I for insurance executives that systematically deny treatment who get shot.

        “The Bourgeois are not human animal”. Though calling them vegetables is still too demeaning to the celery and carrot, who never did anything wrong. Maybe they are mineral? Lead and mercury caused a lot of suffering, and I don’t feel bad about insulting them.

        This is the only reason I accept to refusing to call cops “pigs”. The humble swine does not deserve such a comparison.

      I love meat. We need more meat. Much, much more meat.

      This is an amazing opportunity to have more meat.

        I mean from an ecological perspective we don’t, but I appreciate all proposals, no matter how modest.

          Oh, I think the ecosystem would be far better off without the people who fly private jets and have private yachts.

      No we feast on their money while they get to serve it up voluntarily to stay clear of the guillotine.
