Lajismin sukulaiskäsite on karnismi (carnism), @drmelaniejoy.bsky.social käsitteellistämä uskomusjärjestelmä jolla oikeutetaan eläinten käyttö kulutustuotteiden raaka-aineena. Joyta haastateltiin vuosi sitten @voima.fihin. Tämä juttu oli silmiä avaava.

Asiat jäävät piiloon, jos niille ei ole sanoja – siksi Melanie Joy loi käsitteen järjestelmälle, joka tuottaa muunlajisille jatkuvaa kärsimystä
Melanie Joy kehitti karnismi-termin kuvaamaan uskomusjärjestelmää, johon tukeutuva yhteiskunta tuottaa kuolemaa ilman, että sitä edes arjessa huomaa.

We’re inconsistent in our attitudes toward animals—but it’s not our fault. We’ve been conditioned to be this way, fed on animals and their body parts all our lives. Once we recognize this, we can choose to make a change. We can extend our compassion to all animals. 🐮🐱💚 #Veganuary
