Dog’s Breakfast

I really do believe that some people are genuinely all worked up about the inhumane injustices wreaked upon some animals – chickens and dogs mainly, but also to the odd pig and cat, and even the occasional more exotic critter.

But whence comes such emotions? (assumption alert) Asymmetrical Anthropomorphism; that’s the problem here.

That is, people with psychological issues that are sublimating away their imbalances by assigning human characteristics to (thereby) unfairly treated animals; hence creating a facile diversion away from dealing with their own shit.

The only evidence that I have for this assertion is (a) the mad look in their eyes, and (b) their complete inability to rationally discuss such matters – see explanation below.

You can always tell when someone is mad. First, you pick a subject that they are passionate about and then start a discussion whereby the goal is to list the assumptions that they have made to arrive at their position, assuming that they did so rationally (which they did not).

Half-way through the process they usually lose their shit and storm out of the room. Or scream at you and hit you. Quod erat demonstrandum.

Now you can’t remove with logic what was not put there with logic in the first place. So if you find yourself dealing with someone that is suffering from Asymmetrical Anthropomorphism (or similar) there are only two options:

(1) You completely ignore them, or

(2) If that is not possible, then you have to consider violence. It’s a case of hurt or be hurt.
