Can someone please explain to me what exactly this "loving kindness" hippie bullshit is? Humans are the meanest motherfuckers on this planet. Their history is a grotesque patchwork of slaughter and malice against themselves and their own habitats. They do not have much of a problem with violence, whether it is amongst themselves or for their dinner plate. I think it's laughable to expect them to care about the suffering of herd animals. Humans eat meat because it's built into their evolutionary process to do so. The arguments for vegetarianism seem to come from either bourgeois arrogance and entitlement, or backward, religious stupidity. The former is simply another form of intellectual snobbery.
