💣 Unpopular Opinions & Controversial Figures 🔥

Freethinkers are those who are willing to

use their minds without prejudice and

without fearing to understand things that

 clash with their own customs, privileges,

or beliefs. This state of mind is not common,

but it is essential for right thinking.

Leo Tolstoy

We need an extreme movement because

what is happening to animals is extreme.

Some misinformed people claim that

animal rights activists are terrorists,

but these people are simply ignorant of who

the real terrorists are - the companies

and industries that torture literally

billions of animals each year.

River Phoenix

If you do not say a thing in an irritating way,

you may as well not say it at all

because people will not trouble themselves

about anything that does not trouble them.

George Bernard Shaw

The minority is generelly formed by those who

really have an opinion, while the strenght

 of the majority is illusory, formed by 

the gangs who have no opinion.

Soren Kierkegaard

People who say things like "I can't worry

about animals when there are humans

who need help" tend to do f*ck all

to help humans neither...

Kindness is kindness. Simple as that.

Ricky Gervais

Five minutes after your born, they will decide

your tribe, and you will spend the rest of your

life defending things you didn't choose.

Arthur Schopenhauer

It's easy to stand in the crowd

but it takes courage to stand alone.

Mahatma Gandhi

The question is not whether we will be extremists,

but what kind of extremists we will be. For hate

or for love? For the preservation of injustice

or for the extension of justice?

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead

where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What the herd hates most is the one who thinks

differently; it is not so much the opinion itself,

but the audacity of wanting to think

for themselves, something that they

do not know how to do.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Everything that irritates us about others

can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Carl Jung

Two percent of the people think.

Three percent of the people think they think.

And ninty-five percent of the people

would rather die than think.

George Bernard Shaw

True morality consists not in following

the beaten track, but in finding the true path

for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.

Mahatma Gandhi

Progress is impossible without change,

and those who cannot change their minds

cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress

depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

🐮Not Your Mother - Not Your Milk 🐄

We're taught as children that milk

comes from cows when in reality,

milk comes from mothers.

Preacher Lawson

Jo Frederiks

It is my firm conviction that man need take

no milk at all, beyond the mother's

milk that he takes as a baby.

Mahatma Gandhi

Thou never didst them wrong, nor no man

wrong; And as the butcher takes away the calf

And binds the wretch, and beats him when he

strays, Bearing him to the bloody slaughter-

house, Even so remorseless have they borne him

hence; And as the dam runs lowing up and

down, Looking the way her harmless young

went, And can do nought but wail

her darling's loss.

William Shakespeare

We live in imaginary, virtual worlds created by

corporations that profit from our deception.

Chris Hedges

Man is as much a parasite on the cow

as the tapeworm is on man.

Milan Kundera

We know things about her that no one should

ever know, or want to know, about a fellow

being... the taste, texture and flavor of every

aspect of her despair, degradation and defeat.

We know every detail of what we have forced

her to be - an object to consume and excrete.

What we don't know, what we don't want to

know, is what we must know if we are

to restore our own humanity: who she is.

Joanna Lucas

The animals you eat are not those who devour

others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts,

you take them as your pattern. You only

hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures

which harm no one, which follow you,

serve you, and are devoured by you

as the reward of their service.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Man has made the Earth a Hell for animals.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The dairy industry tried to convince you

for 20 years that milk was good for you.

It's a lie, but they tried anyway.

Steve Jobs

Whiteness rests upon a foundational premise:

the definition of white as the norm or standard

for human, and people of color

as the deviation from that norm.

Robin DiAngelo

Humans are the only animals that drink

the milk of the mother of another species.

All other animals stop drinking milk

altogether after weaning.

Michael Klaper

A mother's love does not derive from

the intellect but from the emotions,

in animals just as in humans.

Maimonides

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

We're exploiting female bodies and abusing

the magic of female animals to create milk.

Nathalie Portman

Being vegetarian here also means that we do not

consume dairy and egg products, because they

are products of the meat industry. If we stop

consuming, they will stop producing. Only

collective awakening can create enough

determination for action.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing

creatures; none show more passionate

tenderness to their young when deprived

of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed

to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.

Thomas de Quincey
