Show Notes

Vegans Aren’t Normal

Now first up, I mean this in the simplest sense. Veganism is a VERY recent social construct. Vegetarianism has existed for thousands of years, but the idea that one would not consume or use ANY ANIMAL PRODUCTS, is something that only exists in modern, first world, affluent humanity.

That being said, some vegans aren’t Normal, but also JUST FUCKING STRANGE!

So this is totally bullshit. #1. They don’t even show a bit of what the audience is watching, they might even be actors.
#2. It’s tough to get audiences to react at this level for even sad movies, or even a jury at a murder trial when there is video.

But we can also test it with our own eyes. “How Bacon is Made”? OK!

That actually looks really good. But I know, “THEY AREN’T SHOWING WHERE THE MEAT COMES FROM!!!!”…..OK!

I actually really like their videos, they show whole-animals butchering for a bunch of species.

OH BUT IT DOESN’T SHOW THE ANIMAL BEING KILLED

Age restriction because of the blood, but I actually saved this one for last because it shows the level of CARE that goes into the meat industry. Just because they’re going to kill these pigs doesn’t mean they hate them, or mean them harm.

Further even if a farmer or a plant worker was a total sociopath and ENJOYED torturing animals….such treatment produces poor animals, and therefore less money. So the industry SELECTS for better treated animals. Since we’re talking pork, he’s the most expensive pork I can think of

I suspect since empathy seems very rare in the vegan activist world I suspect this is covering for the childish behavior of being unable to deal the the fact that we kill and eat animals. Most young kids figure this out, process it, and understand it. But clearly some don’t. Yeah the actual killing is also something urban people are isolated from….but if you live in farm country, or hunt or fish, that isn’t even strange…..and this isolation from death is VERY VERY new in the human world. It wasn’t long ago when people would be born, live, and die in the same house. And certainly seeing an animal raised, killed, butchered, and cooked was something all but the most sheltered elites had.

But rather than recognizing that they are immature, they pile on moral superiority as a mask.
