Wait, what’s worse? For who? I’m not totally sure what you’re saying here but as someone who has survived by doing sex work, who has been repeatedly sexually exploited*, and who has also been more than what I think most would just call exploited, I would not say that any of that was worse for me than being murdered on a factory farm. Can we just agree that exploitation and the objectification or commodification of sentient life is very bad and needs to be abolished?
*(Side note to make clear that sex work is not inherently exploitational either but that’s a different ball of wax.)
I think he’s saying harming a human being is morally worse than harming an animal, all else being equal. I was confused as well but I think it’s just the Community meme wording. Had to reread it and look up the actual line from the show.
The line is “I can excuse racism but I draw the line at animal cruelty”. I’d forgot the extra layer of irony, that it’s a white woman implying cruelty to animals is worse than cruelty to black/brown people.
This fucking site strains my reading comprehension sometimes.
being murdered on a factory farm
I think a factory farm slaughtering people is considered outside the realm of possibility. I assume the vast majority of people would consider that morally worse.
