What headline?
I am convinced that a large majority of nationalists—if not all of them—are animal lovers. This is especially true of Scandinavians. It is tragic that the far left has hijacked this cause. However, I am not a vegan.
Agreed.
Yes, you can! I agree with the above about the tragedy of the animal rights movement having been hijacked. For many years, I was a monthly donor to Animal Rights Sweden, but I stopped a few years ago after the organization took an overly political direction. As for turbo chickens, these are chickens bred for extreme growth. They grow so fast that their bones and joints can’t keep up. They suffer severe pain, are often unable to walk, and some break their bones and face a very agonizing death. 99 % of the chickens raised in Sweden are turbo chickens. Many people believe that Sweden has good animal welfare standards. That is not true. The majority of this industry involves enormous suffering.
Thanks for the great comment. And thanks for the information about the absolutely appalling situation with turbo chickens; poor animals.
In a healthy society built on family values and founded on love, community, and meritocracy, “turbo chicks” would be a non-issue. Such blots on society—characterized by immorality and a total lack of empathy—would be banned faster than a member of Parliament could even consider launching an investigation.
Most people want animals to be treated well. Right up until the slaughter table.
Yes, Animal Rights became part of Pride. As a result, we went our separate ways.
However, I didn't join the Friends of the Chicken Club—I joined the Friends of Gullefjun instead. It's the same fictional club that Victor is a member of.
True nationalism is based on family ethics, which imply that we humans—as the most intelligent and, likely, the most sentient species in the sacred process of evolution—have a special responsibility: a responsibility for life and its potential survival over time.
Through sacred evolution, most species have developed various forms of empathy. For species other than Homo sapiens, empathy may be primarily instinct-driven, whereas we humans can ALSO understand it as a life-sustaining mechanism worthy of being called sacred.
When we understand that unnecessary suffering is unnecessary, and at the same time realize that animals, too, can suffer both physically and emotionally, then, as moral and spiritual beings of the human family, we rise above mere instinctual drives and both understand and feel that true nationalism, in fact, encompasses all life on Earth from a perspective of kinship.
Our species has been and remains entirely dependent on interaction with other species, ranging from microorganisms to animals with which we cooperate. When we realize this and feel it in our hearts, it becomes self-evident that the welfare of animals is not merely desirable but a moral and noble duty that fate has entrusted us to fulfill.
In my experience, nationalists are typically great animal lovers. The left, on the other hand, is insensitive to animal suffering. At left-wing demonstrations, communists have severed the Achilles tendons of police horses and thrown stones at dogs. Adolf Hitler was the greatest animal lover and animal rights advocate in history. He immediately banned cruel animal experiments and kosher/halal slaughter and enacted the world’s strictest animal protection laws. Furthermore, he was a vegetarian. He did not want animals to be killed for his food. Very severe penalties were imposed for animal cruelty.
I agree and am appalled by how the left can behave so heartlessly that they allow innocent animals to be tormented in such a HORRIFIC way. Those who act this way are a disgrace to humanity and must have hearts of stone.
At the same time, perhaps a key to this kind of anti-morality lies in the fact that the hate-filled ideologies of communism, Christianity, and Judaism share the same popular origins—a self-defined master race.
The Bible, Joshua 11:9
– And Joshua did to them as the LORD had commanded him: he had the tendons of their horses’ legs cut, and he had their chariots burned with fire.
The Bible, 2 Samuel 8:4
– And David captured from his people 1,700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers; and David had the tendons of all the chariot horses cut, except for 100 horses, which he spared.
