  • That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn’t a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.

    Yes. Separating the people is an extremely strong tool in the authoritarian handbook. It is such a strong tool that the things it accomplishes are too much to list here. There are a lot of books on the matter. I think it’s even explained in some of the CIA books.

    What really brings me down it’s the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?

    This is not completely correct. People fighting back against their oppressors sends an extremely strong message. And it even goes both way. For example, the attack on the USA Capitol of January 6th gave these Magazis a lot of power because they saw unity in their oppression.

    The good thing is that there’s always more good people than bad.






  • Keeping animals inside is cruel. Animals should be free, or at least be able to go outside a LOT, especially cats.

    Anything else is just your selfish control over another living being. You don’t deserve that. And using the predator argument is stupid because you don’t give a fuck about the birds and mice. You just use that argument to justify your ownership and control over the cat. The truth is you’d rather keep it inside than giving it the chance to run the fuck away from you. If you care about not having “another predator” outside, go vegan and save the hundreds or even thousands that were raised in cages and murdered for your enjoyment. Because that’s what I’m doing.

    Plus, a cat that hunts for enjoyment is a product of the bad parenting of their human guardians. It’s a lot more common in cats that are neglected and almost non existent in cats that are cared for a lot. It’s a difference of weekly vs every few years.

    If you are scared about your cat being ran over by a car, you shouldn’t be having a cat because it implies you live in an area that is too dangerous for them anyways.

    Don’t imprison your cat. It’s awful. Stop being selfish and respect the animals by allowing them to be free.
