    Carnism is a psychological defense mechanism to other’s pain. Having empathy hurts. It especially hurts when you live in the middle of this ongoing holocaust. But what if you could just… not care? It turns out, a human can maim their own capacity for empathy to the point where they don’t even notice being surrounded by actual atrocity.
