Yeah, I guess you're right, the ability to experience suffering doesn't count as something that might bind things together into any kind of category. If it ain't human, fuck it! Right?
What's our question? About distinctions existing? Yeah, they do. And guess qhat, distinctions between human lineages exist too! Oh no.
As far as capacity to suffer? No. No difference. As far as capacity to do human-level shit like uh, read? Yes, difference. The question isn't whether or not goats can read though, it's whether or not they, and other animals can experience a life, can suffer, can feel joy, etc. And guess what, they can do all those things. And if your empathy ends at those who can read, then... fuck you, you're not a comrade.

Have fun building that leftist movement centered around the most unpopular cause you can think of.
Yeah, because what's popular has always been the driving force of communist movements. It's never had anything to do with what's right and just.
this is a :PIGPOOPBALLS: certified take
Said better than I could have. Thanks, comrade.
