The worst person you can be in America today is a supremacist. According to activists, this may even apply to species.
Students Opposing Speciesism is an advocacy group for students aged 13-24. And the group is no small potatoes — it’s backed by justice giant PETA.
On PETA’s page, SOS defines a term:
A misguided belief that one particular species is better than another is known as speciesism. Much as other ugly “-isms” result in discrimination against and bullying of other humans based on arbitrary factors like skin color, gender, class, sexual orientation, or physical ability, speciesism assigns an inferior status to those who don’t happen to be human. All oppression must be eliminated, not just those which affect us. If we are to create a just world we need to eliminate all forms of injustice.
The faction fingers an outright fact — you’re an animal:
Animals can be likened to us. All animals experience joy, sadness and fear just like humans. Our suffering should be considered an extension of ours. Our differences don’t justify cruelty — and exploiting others simply because we can or because they’re different is wrong. It is our responsibility to be kind and compassionate to all people.
As noted by Campus Reform, the group’s Instagram page frequently posts “content such as illustrations of hypothetical scenarios where human and animal roles were switched.”
Pictures include…a restaurant where human limbs are being sold to chickens.
The group is growing in popularity: In addition to protesting at retail outlets and businesses such as In-N-Out — where signs have reportedly declared, “Cheese is Murder” — they’ve registered chapters at seven colleges. Schools include UT Austin and UC Davis as well as the University of Maryland.
We’re certainly moving toward a more tender take on nonhumans:
Legal Journal publishes Plea For Hate Speech Laws Protection Animals
WHO Will Rename Monkeypox Because It’s ‘Discriminatory’
Academics Claim Bias Against Pit Bulls Is Racist
Costco Can Coconut milk Over Forced Employment by Manacled Monkeys
Critic Calls on Kids Cartoon About Canines to Include Disabled Characters and ‘Dogs of Color’
Of course, it’s worth remembering they’re not all innocent:
DC: A huge Macho Turkey terrorizes Strollers and Cyclists
A Gang of Angry Otters Takes Man in Charge of His Business
Louisiana Truck Stop: Woman is Pinched by Camel, and He Bite Her in the Testicles. Who’s the Real Victim?
Back to fighting for the rights of cheese, it’s no surprise humans are getting demoted. Nihilism is on the rise, and if “pro-America” is wrong, why would “pro-human” be any different? We’d likely also be headed for more benevolence toward bugs, if not for the fact that Bill Gates is going to make us eat them.
For those who’d like to rise in righteousness while they chow down on dung beetles, Students Opposing Speciesism has a reminder: If you’re not pursuing “total animal liberation”…you’re a supremacist:
It is time to challenge human supremacy.
