Carnism

The outdated belief system or ideology under which humans are entitled to eat and exploit any kind of animal they like, due to their greater intelligence and so-called superiority; the diametric of veganism.

Vegan: Why would we kill animals if we don't need to?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Carnist: Humans are superior to animals!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vegan: Wasn't that the same mentality of the Nazis toward the Jews?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Carnist: Animals are not the same as humans!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vegan: Yes, but our ability to suffer is the same. Isn't that what counts?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Carnist: Well, you are right about that, but humans are more intelligent than animals.
