PIG 05049 : Christien Meindertsma : Christien Meindertsma : just another homocentrist human
Compare how this young woman talks about killing a life : http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2010/mar/27/from-one-pig-185-products, using mainly the argumentation how useful that killing is. A homocentrist argumentation. Her mental frameset though, reminds me of the accounts slaughterhouse workers gave in interviews Gail A. Eisnitz made in 1997 http://meat.org.uk/slaught.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughterhouse … .
There is nothing different or special when either a woman or a man talk about their aggressive homocentrist attitudes. Mrs. Christien Meindertsma seems to think that it is more artistic when she accompanies a nonhuman animal that’s gonna be killed by her … than when any farmer or slaughterer does it. Just because she give an account of it in “arts form” – and because it’s curated as arts.
What is arts about it, is that we can see that she sold out the innocence that our good old humanistic values wanted to attribute to the normal human individual. No normal human individual is NOT capable of doing the most horrendous atrocities at the same time while rationalizing their deeds as reasonable, sensible and smart. History told us that already way too many times. Now to think that questioning and eradicating homocentrism wouldn’t be the next big task we as humans have to address, if we don’t all want to fall prey the sickly normal minds of the average human, would be naive.
To get the best answers about the trustworthiness of any speciesist reasoning about animals, is to simply turn the paper and look, yeah human values, human ideals, and how do we humans deal with each other and stand towards each other. By focusing from the point of view of THE HUMAN GROUP with the BIG HUMAN INTERTESTS on the false and pathological reasons why “we humans” have “a legitimate interest” in “using animals” we shift the focus away from two things:
A. the human conflicts that prove there is nothing such thing as “THE HUMAN SINGLE INTEREST”
and B.) that nonhuman animals and the environment can be understood as exactly the opposed value, that homocentrism seeks to destroy, negate and annihilate. Our view is turned away from that perspective.
The view this woman holds, typically tries to make us think that we are dealing with some redundant life. We are not. And this swine she killed is my family – soulwise.
P.S.
ALTERNATIVE, Another subversive peace song
The squadies arms is bleeding
the animal’s throat is cut
Dead soldiers in No. Ireland
Dead animals in the shop
consume the shit
imperialist twit
Drown the morals
and crawl through shit
Chorus
Paint your face,now the hunt is on
has he got a car,now give him what he wants
say he’s a man, use words like love
muscels and pride confirms he’s got he lot
he is a master of pain in his world of violence
you’re just another victim he’s picked up on his way
another example man’s voice is law
and woman takes second place in his world of hate and war
The privelaged(?) rape the earth
In this rich man’s ghetto
the armies of democracy
bribe and slaughter
we’re treated as object
oil on the machine
consuming the shit
og Government and Queens
Chorus
Break the barriers that agregate us all
colours class and creed
or you pissing up a wall
the only change that will ever come
Is if you reject all the violence and media scum
it is up to you to live your life
dont accept their morals and rules
fucking up the world by the way we live
and you’re helping to bury it with your hate and predjudice
Hypocrisy, democracy, their weapon named fear
another cross to carry, whos burden do you share
discriminating theories, more ladders to climb
40 years of misery, another wasted life
state imposed disorder in their democracy
state imposed disorder, carried through their law
paint your face, now the hunt is on
has he got a car, now give him what he wants
say he’s a man, use word like love
muscle and pride, confirms he’s got the lot
rpt. 1st verse and chorus
