View submission: Sorry Tobias, you're empirically wrong--anti-veganism actually CAUSES racism (Costello and Hodson 2009)!

I considered including this in the post, but cut it out because it's not necessary to show how wrong Leenaert is. So here you go:

Here are some interesting things they did. So, after they established that being pro-authoritarianism causes false beliefs about the superiority of humans to animals which causes an increase in general prejudice towards ethnic out-groups, they wanted to see if they could use this information.

What they did then was they demonstrated to those who were pro-authoritarianism that humans aren't superior to animals with evidence. Once this was demonstrated to them, their prejudice towards ethnic out-groups decreased significantly, demonstrating a causal link.

I was also going to include academic research on the relationship between anarchism and veganism, but ran out of energy. Someone else will have to do it for me.

(So basically the real TL;DR is:

Anarchists are right: fuck speciesism and racism! If you have an overdose on not-being-anarchist, science says you can still be fixed!)
