Schadenfreude by El Marrano de la Razón

I could laugh at our desperate situation, alas I'm still too human to properly enjoy the amusing show of my species' suicide and genocidal intention. Yes, quite a subconscious deed to be integrated as a subject using and being used by a carnivorous sacrifice. This psychic structure lets humans partake in the community by dividing and negating their own animality. This negation translates into subjugation and exploitation, also it is the mechanism by which the sexual differentiation occurs. Thus feminism and veganism (and every other minority rejected by the status quo since they don't fit into the white male eurocentric meat eating paradigm) should be hand in hand as they are bonded by the manipulation of the carnofalogocentric culture which prevails in the world nowadays. The solution is to find a way to make the process of becoming subject outside of the carnivorous sacrifice, which by substitution kills the animal as the archetypal father realizing the psychic phantom of killing and eating oneself. One should seek better models of human subjectivation outside of western tradition such as Chinnamasta's legend or inside the western tradition such as Asis' animal ethics, and also Paul Laffoley's Thanaton III which by an interface of sustained attention and meditation (aided sometimes by psychoactive substances) opens up our subjectivity to the Other, being animal, alien or whatever. It is a process of giving birth to oneself. It is a birth without blood. And since we agree with Empedocles' view of onthological cannibalism (wouldn't you abstain from the blood? don't you see that you are devouring yourselves continuously?) is that we find a strange sense of Schadenfreude or joy from other's misfortunes since we consider carnists as the others in this still alienated dualistic view. But as we said, we're still humans, maybe too human. Perhaps we should strive for getting out of ourselves and find out who we really are.
