(Abgeleitet vom griechischen klept- „rauben“ und dem lateinischen capere „ergreifen/nehmen“).

Eine Mentalität, die durch die parasitäre Abhängigkeit des Menschen von nicht-menschlichen Tieren definiert ist – völlig unabhängig davon, ob physisches Leid im Spiel ist oder nicht.

Ähnlich wie ein Taschendieb stiehlt, ohne Schmerzen zu verursachen, fokussiert sich Kepismus auf das bloße „Nehmen“ von tierischem Leben, tierischer Arbeitskraft und tierischen Körpern. Ein „Kep“ ist demnach jede ausbeuterische Handlung.

Die konzeptionelle Herleitung des Begriffs knüpft tief an die vegane Theorie an, spezifisch an Leslie J. Cross’ Essay „In Search of Veganism—2“ (1949). Cross suchte nach dem Kern der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung und definierte Veganismus als das Prinzip der Emanzipation der Tiere von menschlicher Ausbeutung. Der Begriff Kepismus (geprägt vom Autor Animal Emancipation, Valerian) liefert nun den konkreten Namen für genau diese ausbeuterische Mentalität. Er benennt den Ursprung des Problems: die systematische Inbesitznahme und die falsche Überzeugung, Tiere seien Objekte für den menschlichen Gebrauch. Der Begriff fordert auch das Ende von Euphemismen (wie „Tierfabrik“) und benennt sie stattdessen als Massensklavenlager.

Beispiel:
Person 1: „Es geht nicht nur darum, wie Tiere gehalten werden. Allein die Tatsache, dass wir ihre Körper und Arbeitskraft für uns beanspruchen, ist das eigentliche Problem.“
Person 2: „Ganz genau. Die Ära des Kepismus ist vorbei!“
"Die Ära des Kepismus ist vorbei!"

from kerp- "to cut, seize, take" + klep- "to steal, conceal"

The parasitic mentality and structural root of human dependency on non-human animals, defined by the systematic seizure of their lives, bodies, and labor regardless of whether physical suffering or will-calculation is involved. In simplified terms, it is the animal use ideology and the fundamental act and mentality of humans taking non-human animals for selfish purposes. It precedes animal use and necessitates the false belief that animals are objects instead of someone. Animal use is its expression.

Kep
n.

The primal mental and physical act by which the human animal cuts the non-human animal out of moral consideration by seizing them out of their own belonging—reducing a sentient individual to a means for selfish human ends (such as using a cow's skin as a jacket). Kep logically precedes both suffering and use: it does not decide how a being is treated, but whether that being belongs to itself.

Kepism is based on the problem analysis of the founders of veganism (Leslie J. Cross, Donald Watson, Fay Henderson), specifically addressing humanity's habit of acting as a parasite upon living creatures who can not resist their will. Coined in 2025 by Valerian (Animal Emancipation) to name the root act and ideology behind all animal exploitation.
"The era of kepism is over!" "When we exposed the system's reliance on animal bodies, the immediate backlash and denial from the group revealed classic kepist camouflage."

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
