Gee I should've worded my sentence differently. I meant to say if you are the type of person who would perceive as someone as underneath you because of their profession, socioeconomic status, age, rank, social hierarchy, and thus you treat them like garbage, you're a piece of shit.
But glad yall are on the same page as me.
A lot of people treat animals like shit because they're "underneath us" since they can't even speak up. It astounds me how many people (especially in certain cultures) think of animal as inanimate objects with no thoughts or feelings of their own.
The caste system is another example. I noticed in India/Asian cultures they are more egregious in their treatment of people who rank lower than them.
Very true about animals and other cultures. Now this was like 15 years ago, but my dad (from small town USA) visited Japan and he was saying the older men treat the women like crap in many places over there. Maybe that has changed some or maybe it's generational but he was pretty surprised and appalled
