#human privilege

“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.”

― Terence McKenna -

-Painting by Michael Parkes - ‘The Three Graces’ -

Apocalypse: Noun

An event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale: an era of ecological apocalypse.

Origin:

If you’re human or even human-passing, then use that privilege to call out the injustices against our kind. Make sure people aren’t assuming the worst of us, like the media wants them to. Consume human-made content about us critically and don’t just take it at face value. Usually they’re made to make you think we’re fake and/or dangerous.

That’s probably a good start.

We just have to hope that we can spread enough information that the humans will begin to treat us more kindly. I like to think that at this point, they’re just unaware, and if we make them aware they’ll be more courteous.

But that’s just well wishing, I guess.

Human Privilege

 By Doctor Pessimist

   I am sick to death of humans crying over different types of privilege and all that malarkey. Have you humans not twigged on that you have human privilege?

 In our home universe, we mutants frequently receive extreme prejudice. Your human police turn a blind eye, whenever humans attack us mutants.

1. Overfishing is a major environmental problem. Many species of marine life are suffering/endangered, in large part because their food supply is being co-opted by humans. This has a ripple effect, decimating the planet’s environment. 

2. Many fishing nets also catch dolphins (and sea turtles.)

3. The smell.  Why subject yourself (and possibly others) to the smell?? Dear god. Love yourself.
