مرحبا (Welcome/Hello)
Reactionary libs will tell you otherwise but we are fighting against the
CW
rape, oppression and murder of the most marginalised groups of society.

!ثورة حتى النصر (Revolution until victory!)
the voiceless and the violently silenced. Everyone with an ounce of compassion can see that animals don't want to die, but they are hidden and forgotten about.
Animals are persons, they just don't happen to be "human" persons. It takes a lib to not see that.
hello yes I am a liberal and I see no problem with the mechanized and industrial slaughter of thousands of living beings everyday but I draw the line at impolite language
Hi, fellow lib here. I'd appreciate it if you can please change

chicken tendies tho!
You're kinda hurting my feelings. I'd like to keep living in fantasy land and imagine I don't contribute to this, thanks ❤️
“There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.” -- Arundhati Roy
@Beans1101 The only thing I won’t be liberating is your sugar dad’s lips.
This immoralism includes killing things - we can do that. To pretend otherwise, to pretend that there is some moral transgression is a regressive and hurtful lie, a reactive manipulation of psychology that does not belong on the left
Lmao, murder and rape are fine actually. As long as we can reduce people into mere things, then we can kill with impunity. My wife isn't a really a person, she's my property, and that's why I have a basement full of dead wives. There's no moral transgression here, you feminists are reactionary, hurtful liars, and you don't belong in the left
As a victim of rape [CW the rest of this rant is about this], my favorite activity is to go around telling other victims that they don't have it as bad as me so they should shut the fuck up. That's why I voluntarily choose to fund and argue for the sexual violation of other sentient beings, beings who can suffer, feel pain, fear, sorrow, stress, beings who can love, play, and nurture. I've arbitrarily decided they're not people and their interests don't matter at all. Sorry hun, if you wanted me to give a shit, you should have been born a human. People who want me to stop funding and arguing for this system are the real monsters. How dare they try and make me feel bad for fighting for a violent and oppressive system? Fucking reactionaries, amiright
Yes, giving a shit about animals means I cannot give a shit about humans. It's one or the other. I don't make the rules. I also only care about cishet white men, everything else is
politicalmanipulative reaction which has no place in the leftCarnists can't possibly think about their victims, because then they'd have to change and actually live the revolution. Instead, they must center themselves and erase their victims, and make sure their own cries drown out and silence the voices of those whose flesh they carve. Carnist fragility is never sincere. It's always oppressive and always reactionary. They'll spend paragraphs pampering their ego, but never once consider the perspective of those whose corpses are on their plate
When animal advocates describe animals as voiceless, even when it is meant simply as a metaphor, it gives power to those who want to view animals as “mindless objects.” In the long run, activists will help animals more if we treat them as active participants in their own liberation—as the expressive subjects animal advocates know them to be—remembering that resistance takes many forms, some of which may be hard to recognize from an able-bodied human perspective.

Yes, it was metaphorical - as in, voices that omniscum have taken away - going forward, I think more suitable words should be "...We speak for those who have been violently silenced"
