The ones who think humans hold exclusive domain over cognition and emotion are the ones who don’t pay attention to other animals/living things.
To assume we’re somehow magically separate or different from the very ecosystem we come from and exist in is a special level of hubris.
Religious folks that think God just made us and put us in his lovely garden to fuck around and ruin everything. They've convinced themselves we are Divine, not just some animals that got smart and figured out how to do things. Everything has gone wrong since and it's only getting worse by the day.
That’s beaten into Christian thinking - “humans are special.” Just an easy way to justify evil towards other creatures and our environment. Christianity is mostly conscience easing for the evil of humanity. Most of MAGA is Christian.
That’s true of every religion, not just Christianity.
Paganism?
You mean the vague as fuck whatever you want it to be religion that has practices in egoism? Yeah, them too.
We have more in common with almost everything in the universe than most people notice—but especially other animals. As Moby once sang, “we are all made of stars.”
