Because we dont care about animals in the same way as people? You dont engage in ideological conversations with animals. they do not preform the same societal roles as people, they do not engage in higher forms of ideology or dynamic system making. Why does a pig care if it dies by a stake to the head or by porcine colara? Does it make a difference its method of cessation? Its fine to eat animals in the same way that its fine to eat humans. its just flesh, that use to be an active organism. But the Human organism has created mutual or imposed ideals about the treatment of active societal members that care and proactively forwards such abstractions. There is also nothing wrong with eating soilent green (people), its just that we by and large find the ritual distasteful because those active members of society do not want their bodies to be consumed. Its a false equilovent since we dont treat people the same as animals to begin with.

I find the question of why veganism became a thing AFTER the alienation of man from their animal products WAY more interesting then the pretty self evident reasons why we eat animals. No one blinked an eye when the house wife would break a chickens neck and pluck its feathers, but somehow onces people were distanced from animals they started caring about and projecting on them more.

Im not a christian, and im not even saying he was explicitly monotheist, but there is a basic epistemological difference between pre socratic paganism, and post socratic thought, with the individuation of the indivigual from society, which is a major departure from the collective nature of pagan phenomenology.

The advent of moral self conciousness as raised by the socratic ideal was revolutionary in its critique of the implicitcy of paganism in its communal identification rather than personal one.

The ontological shift in plato and socratese is a revolutionary DEPARTURE from the ontology of paganism as the polis structure. Im not looking to argue, but it seems obvious to me that the socratic-platonic mindset is a very fundamental shift from the pre socratic one.

If you object to this, then fine, but its a rather widely agreed upon shift in basic ontology. if you wabt to make a case for pre and post socratic paganism i might understand. I would also like to here if you have a counterpoint instead of shitflinging.
