Human caused suffering
Meat is something almost everyone consumes daily but no one likes to think about what it takes for it to come to your plate. Whilst humans cry hearing the death of a hundred of their own or a few dogs we show zero care or remorse over the pain and killing of over 90 billion animals each year. We excuse this behavior by claiming superiority over earth, but does this mean we can cause 2 trillions of fish yearly pain? And if you do not believe the fact that animals experience pain, fear and a need to survive whilst being slaughtered then please pick up a biology book and try punching yourself. After all we are all animals, humans are still animals which learned to change the environment around them, but does that mean that we are the overlords of the earth? Would you really hunt, slaughter, skin and then gut an animal yourself just to eat meat? Posting this I do not expect to turn anyone vegan but I do hope at least some of you think before buying meat, or any animal products. This post was inspired by the movies "Earthling" and "Dominion" which show the animal product industry from the inside.

@Luke Kell Thanks! You can just like the post so it gets pushed upwards.
Religion needs to be banned
Religion has always been a part of culture but with organized religion it has become more than that. Whilst I have no problems with personal beliefs and people praying, believing in god by themselves, I do have a problem with organized and state led religion. When religion is controlled it acts as a major influence on the people, due to it being a foundation of ones character and morals. Such things are extremely clear with the catholic church which has changed its core beliefs and values just to fit in and keep in business. It has also been used to lead holy wars and as an excuse to discriminate and dominate others who follow a different "lesser" religion. Considering everything centralized, controlled religion should be banned and kept to personal beliefs.

@Zain Swanson Morals can be thought by philosophy and basic life lessons, stories.

@Zain Swanson I get your point but that alone is not a good reason to keep centralised religions in my opinion. Religions such as Christianity teach morality through storys and songs which other media apart from the bible already do too.
Democracy is killing itself
Democracy at its core is rotten and broken and it will lead to its own downfall. Many philosophers have already pointed out that giving everyone the right to vote would lead to governments ellected by feelings and promises of quick growth which comes at the expense of the long-term success of the country. That is especially noticeable in modern democracys of the recent centurys. From the nazi victory in germany to the 1917 ellection in Russia, they were all democratically ellected by the people, the poor uneducated people. And I believe such democratic victorys are not far from our times. As someone from Lithuania I have noticed a decrease in freedoms (the goverment is sueing the main TV channels for criticising the goverment and police visits people who make "anti goverment" posts on media) and a quick rise from far right groups. And from what I have seen in news such groups are rising across Europe, Germany, France, United Kingdom and Italy currently has a right wing PM. For me it is clear that democracy has and will ultimately fail us, only being a transitional period between monarchy and perhaps a new system of ruling. That is unless it somehow changes, which I do not believe in happening. What are your opinions on democracy, its future and what will take over after it? And what would you like instead of democracy?

More sloppy slop for us to consume pretending we will change or do something about it

@Brayan Rodriguez false, the title alone explains that everything is slop. Plus at the end he says that even he regurgitated an idea already talked about and made it into a video. So it is slop but who doesn't love intellectual slop😋
