We can only rebuild society by reshaping ourselves

Cut the crap - Joy Dorant

We need to cut the crap!

We need to talk about the fact that the majority of the population is living in a state of collective denial. We live in a world where cruelty, discrimination, repression and exclusion are ingrained into the fibres of societies. Being blindfolded can be very comfortable, but by ignoring and denying the extensive suffering around us, we enable it to happen and encourage others to deny its presence.

We can only rebuild society by reshaping ourselves. To do so, we need to take off our blinders and face the whole truth, which is incredibly difficult and takes much courage. We must connect issues related to human rights, consumerism, animal rights and the environment. All issues are connected, and so are their solutions.
