It turns out I am an activist. . .

Well, after 2 months of saving this documentary on my computer, I still mustered the courage to finish it. Then curled up on the sofa all night with a splitting headache. "Radical" to the point of wanting to die. I guess it will be criticized again.
I always feel that trying to change others is bad. It is also meaningless. But this film changed my mind to a certain extent. I want to be vegetarian. kindness. I am grateful for this change. For protecting animals and the weak, including humans, to a greater extent, I now have no courage or strength, and all I can do is swallow the truth and struggle with myself. I have no right to call for anything. So, I just want to do the little things I can do as much as possible.
Even if it has already been said. There will still be people who can’t get past it and stand up and accuse me of being extreme. Seeing every post that was shocked by this film was followed by a bunch of objections, I was actually a little angry. I really don't understand how such a film provokes you. I don't know who the activists are anymore.
Well, if we have different opinions, I have no intention of interfering with you, so please detour and stop being aggressive.

Earthlings quotes

  • [first lines]

    title card: earth-ling n. - One who inhabits the earth.

    Narrator: Since we all inhabit the earth, we are all considered earthlings. There is no sexism, racism, or speciesism in the term 'earthling'. It encompasses each and every one of us: warm- or cold-blooded, mammal, vertebrate or invertebrate, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and human alike.

  • Narrator: It is the human earthling who tends to dominate the earth, oftentimes treating other fellow earthlings and living beings as mere objects. This is what is meant by 'speciesism'. By analogy with racism and sexism, speciesism is a prejudice or attitude or bias in favor of the interests of the members of one's own species and against those of members of other species.
