Wokism & Infighting

The task is not, so much to see what no one

has seen yet; but to think what nobody has 

thought yet, about that which everybody sees.

Arthur Schopenhauer

If you have men who will exclude any of God's

creatures from the shelter of compassion,

you will have men who will deal

 likewise with their fellow men.

St. Francis of Assisi

Speciesism is like racism, sexism and

homophobia: it involves using a morally

irrelevant criterion to block membership

in the moral community.

Gary L. Francione

Injustice anywhere is a threat

to justice everywhere.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our

inability to recognize, accept and celebrate

those differences.

Audre Lorde

Intelligence is measured by a person's

ability to see validity within both sides

of contradicting arguments.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

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

Act so as to use humanity, yourself and others,

always as an end and never as a means

to an end.

Immanuel Kant

The animals of the world exist for their own

reasons. They were not made for humans

any more than black people were made

for white, or women created for men.

Alice Walker

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct

him to hold in higher esteem those who think

alike than those who think differently.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Strong minds discuss ideas,

average minds discuss events,

weak minds discuss people.

Socrates

I'm not entitled to have an opinion unless

I can state the arguments against my position

better than the people who are in opposition.

I am qualified to speak only when

I've reached that state.

Charlie Munger

Those who love peace must learn to organize

as effectively as those who love war.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Evil people always support each other;

that is their chief strength.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

When bad men combine, the good must

associate; else they will fall one by one.

Edmund Burke
