We asked Friendbeast from Baltimore about vegan intersectionality
Koala the vocalist of Friendbeast told us:
As an anarchist, I look at the relationships of power. This doesn’t preclude the relationship that humans have to the world around them. If we want real anticapitalist structural change, we need to look at the most basic part of our lives, what we eat and how we relate to it – our food. Bodies, hearts, and minds are not merely a human attribute, and forcing deprivation, sexualization, and then death upon other creatures debases our humanity and throws us deeper into a capitalist web.
I could sell her to a lab
Euthanize her tomorrow
Society says she’s property
All I want is an end to this.
CHORUS:
Bought
Sold
Kept in a cage
There is no freedom in the exploitation of another
Bought
Sold
Kept in a cage
There is no dignity in the ownership of another
Systems of power
Desire to control
Fuck your disregard
Fuck this domination
No one should have ownership over another
Animals shouldn’t be confined
Alone…
Cold…
Waiting for your curiosity
