what do you make of this picture?

Now these are the legs that make me think "I would like to have dinner with that person!"...The original ones are rather these "Could I break the leg with one kick?"-legs. Terrible. People saying awful things to promote veganism are one of these things you stumble across every now and then. They talk about Jesus, Krishna, looking like a zombie, stopping a 'holocaust', a vegan jihad or the cute kittens you save. It might work as advertisement, people might go vegan, but for stupid reasons. Nice for the animals, but after the revolution they will also be put up against the wall. Just a little later...

Is it a philosophical revolution?

[:x:]

It is clear that the arm of criticism cannot replace the criticism of arms. Material force can only be overthrown by material force, but theory itself becomes a material force when it has seized the masses. Theory is capable of seizing the masses when it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical.

I meant more, is it for philosophical reasons

[:x:]

Well, kind of. I'm not actually into all these revolution-phantasies, but if there is one while I'm alive those people might be a problem. What I actually want to say is that those people advertise a right cause but because of wrong reasons. These reasons are part of the problem that I would like to solve, so 'such people' need to be criticized, even if they are not actually the main problem.

You'd love an old friend of mine...
..."no, Tom, I don't want to be vegan just leave it alone"
"so, you're whole thing about doing it for the animals"
"but I am helping them, I just like milk and eggs"
"which isn't helping them..."

On the other hand I made it clear to my veggie (now house-mate) mate who stopped being veggie because it wasn't doing anything (although obviously I'd have liked him to go vegan instead). I have a lot more respect based on those things for the latter.

Hah! Your kind will be the first up against the wall...




In the first set of legs, the ratio of finger lengths on the person's hands is slightly curious.
