>>9344045perpetuating this scientistic dogma that "humans are animals" is damaging
when we call someone an "animal" we mean they're a brute, driven by baser instincts, inhuman, etc.
being "animalistic" is a vice
thinking of people as "animals" is the main example of dehumanizing
but now scientism has legitimized equating humans and animals, so that being an animal is just being true to your nature, which is what literal satanists preach
>we're just naked apes that think they're special>there's no real difference between humans and animalsneopositivists stupidly think "humans are animals" is just a straightforward empirical claim
but in reality, both "human" and "animal" are complex concepts with ethical and metaphysical semantic content
