Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends (like scoundrels and their flags) take final refuge in character assainations; they ignore the issue and deny the relation between our consumption and brutality. So you can go ahead and roll your eyes and marginalize me/socially penalize me: play on my insecurities. And you can feign ignorance, but you're not stupid, you're just selfish. And you're a slave to your impulse. And I kinda thought we all shared common threads in that we gravitated here to challenge the conventions we've been fed by a culture that treats (living, breathing, feeling) creatures like (biological) machines. And if you buy that shit then how long 'till it's me who serves as your commodity? Through (for example), institutionalized violence and opression of workers and women raped by sexism (and how about native americans?). Do you still insist on feigning indignance (aka: indignation) to reason? To collective self-interest? Tell you what- I'll call you on your shit, PLEASE CALL ME ON MINE. Then we can grow together and make this shit-hole planet better in time. So why not consider someone else: STOP CONSUMING ANIMALS.

is that song somehow related with Millencolin's 'Story of my life'?
you know, because of that 'mr. P.C.' part of Millencolin's song.
"they ignore the issue and deny the relation between our consumption and brutality."
It's also about how these people often mock vegetarians, and make jokes at their expense.
"So you can go ahead and roll your eyes and marginalize me/socially penalize me: play on my insecurities."
As a vegan I can attest to the fact that the majority of the people (even people within the punk/anarchist community) are often quite defensive when you start talking about animal rights. It's a pretty common misconception that vegans are weak, girly, etc. and when faced with the issue of veganism, meat eaters often resort to mockery as a means of ignoring the issue at hand and therefore relieving themselves of the guilt that one feels when they realize that consuming meat is directly supporting murder.
The message: speciesm is no different from any other form of prejudice, and if we allow ourselves to view animals as lesser beings and can justify their murders, then it's not much harder to do the same for women, homosexuals, and people of another race.
