being tasty and domesticable food for humans is the best thing that can happen to a plant or animal species

Yeah but what's good for a species is not in and of itself good, it's what's good for the individuals of that species.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Absolutely op we must all work to the abolition of the soul annhilating crop system that breeds and kills billions of plants each year. There is no argument against carnivorism, it is morally imperative that you cease eating plant matter.

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

we probably need some kind of way to interpret their behavior as voluntary and deliberate like flapping their leaves or releasing glucose into the soil.

if we wanted to create rights for them (rather than negative rights to other humans which merely regards them) it's unclear how to interpret their interests without language

I was just thinking about it because I was looking at a particularly sensual tomato stem and I realized I was looking at a living organism. Not one with thoughts and feelings but my thoughts and feelings are usually profoundly stupid and I have rights regardless.

Makes you think. Well, you. I don't think because I'm a loving moron

plants are superior and will win the war because they can just produce energy, they don't care to have th oughts or feelings, why would they? they basically turn light into food, gently caress off carbon nutrient.

Much like animals, plants are too tasty and integrated with civilization on a mass murder basis to be given rights.
