    i got banned from a vegan comm for saying that bees tend to leave hives if they’re not satisfied with the conditions, a fact that’s just verifiably true.

        Reality is a social construct defined by the dominant ethnic group and manipulated by the Epstein class to control us.

          …I miss the days when radical statements sounded far off and crazy. Now they just sound like statements of undeniable truth.

        Informed consent does not exist in the animal world and I’m very saddened that that’s a sentence I had to type.

        You cannot apply human standards to animals, they do not understand contract law…again, a sentence I’m just very sad I had to type because they didn’t understand that.

          I’ve tried to have this discussion SO many times, and every time I’m treated like there’s nothing I love more than raping goats and torturing pigs.

          That cow that lives on the hobby farm, spends its days roaming fields and eating flowers, then gets milked in the evening and petted with genuine love and affection, is not worse off because the farmer didn’t create a formal contract in order to obtain it’s consent to be milked.

          It gave its consent by walking to the milking station, and waiting to be milked.

          “Nuh uh! That’s not consent! It didn’t learn English and say the words ‘I consent to being milked,’ therefore milking it is evil!”

            I have to imagine that those people are virgins, because no one is signing a 17-page contract prior to getting it on.

            Consent is allowed to be simple as long as it’s obvious and real. I shouldn’t need a law degree to suck a dick.

            You just gotta stop giving a damn what dipshits think.

            Post your initial message so that some passerby might glean some insight and then move on.

            The opinions of people whom I will never ever see nor interact with ever again means less than nothing. They can think I’m the biggest fucking idiot in the world, doesn’t matter to me, I’ll sleep just fine.

        Exactly, feed them sugar and they’ll happily stay, that’s not saying it’s good for them. Plus all the monoculture on which they often feed is detrimental to their survival as a species. It’s funny to me how in this capitalist world, there is a living being that is somehow not immorally exploited.
