Billions of animals are killed each year for food consumption. They are killed in factories, it's bureaucratic, it's efficient. What's wrong with it? It bears an astounding similarity to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Bełżec, Chełmno, Majdanek, Sobibór, and Treblinka. While people during the holocaust were gassed, animals and birds are slaughtered: their throats cut and left to bleed to death.
If Germans had found a way to make the eradication of Jews a lucrative business, like the meat industry is today, they might have succeeded. People don't care about who dies or lives as long as they get their food and indulge every so often in their cravings. Slavery didn't become a problem in the west until it was among the westerners. If slavery was carried on in Africa, away from people's eyes, it would still be a prosperous reality today. This idea is supported by the fact that in some countries in Africa and Asia slavery is still a way of life.
This is not a far fetched idea. It is a reality. The west lives on a compromise of ideals of what is infront of them and what is not aknowledgeable. People are slaughtered in thousands in unstale countries, and the west doesn't care because it is not part of the daily lives of the westerners.
Ignorance is an interesting manner by which the brain protects the mind from unbearable shocks. For instance, amensia often is triggered because the brain cannot deal with reality. In the same way, conciously or unconciously, people in the west protect themselves from unbearable and unconfortable truths. Slaughter is bad, but we should keep it away from us.
Kill efficiently, in great numbers, and away from public eye, and you can be one of the most terrible human beings that will go unpunished. This is the truth, this is how we are, we don't care. Is there a solution though?
Yes, there is. The solution is simple and scary at the same time: specialization.
