Oh noes! Reich Wingers getting exactly what they demanded, and feeling the consequences of it!

Oh shit, its like they voted for this, or something!!

I agree! Nobody should be afraid for their life by getting killed by randos. However, 99% of the US population DOES have to fear it, and ~75% of the global population is in fear of being attacked by “some rando” called “The United States of America”.

They should be afraid of the people, but not of individuals with guns or money to hire contract killers.

No, they should be afraid of that too, just like every other citizen in this country.

This wasn’t a particularly long distance shot. Its a rather typical hunting range shot for Utah.

It wasn’t war when one Dem politician was killed, one was attempted. And a gubernatorial assassination was attempted?

Being sad doesnt do a damned thing to undo the damage caused.

Part of the whole “trans women in bathrooms” schtick is to make official jobs of child genital inspectors. What could possibly go wrong, when you have a bunch of old, white men inspecting the genitals of children?

And at some point it is no longer just the state either but the inactions of the general people as well.

Historically, the US, and it’s citizens, have been just dandy with pedophilia being normal, and encouraged.

I see Mace’s “panic attack” didn’t last very long.

I dunno. Stalin had himself a child bride, of sorts.

Harris would violate the law, and deploy troops to occupy US cities?

Being sad that your willfull ignorance is causing massive harm to millions, isn’t even a start to undoing that harm.

Want to make me sympathetic? Do the work to fix that harm.

Well, given the trend, we may not have another election.

Trump thinks elections dont have to happen if he says there is a war.

So, you thought the con man wasn’t conning people, this time?

So why did ypu vote for him, when he is a known child rapist?

Or, are the doodles your line?

Science.

Science has been able to get inside the heads and determine what animals are thinking? This is a breakthrough! We should now be able to communicate with these animals! Surely we can, right?

My point is how you tried to argue reproduction based on instincts, so I brought another instinct-based trait.

Ok, try not eating. Period. I bet instincts will kick in, and you’ll eat, and not starve.

Urbanization and capitalism aren’t part of Nature.

Nobody besides yourself even implied they are.

I doubt it can be changed, especially due to how things are pivoting to technofascism in the world. I doubt it can be changed, especially due to how we humans are constantly endangering other species for living as “modern humans”.

We’ve changed it myriad times. I provided two such examples.

However, we humans have been long detached from natural means of living so transition wouldn’t be easy, we’re sort of cursed to “modernity”, so it’s complicated.

Ah, so you think all humanity is illustrated only by western living, huh?

They do possess intelligence (especially crows and dolphins, not mentioned), but they don’t end up cursed by knowing the pointlessness of their own existences through a broader, cosmic lens. We do.

Are you sure about this? How can you possibly know? How about Octopi? They are, almost certainly, as intelligent as we are, and have 8 brains interworking with each other. You have zero possibility to even guess how they view the world.

If we were to talk about instincts, murdering to eat (hunting) is also pretty instinctive across species… Humans don’t often “murder to eat” because they often delegate it for others to do it, but with enough desperation (e.g. lack of food) a human can even eat other humans (see Chichijima incident)…

Not sure your point? Tribes have always relied on varied tasks for members. Even higher primates do this.

It’s also instinctive to live among the woods.

No, it’s not. Its instinctive to seek shelter, water, food, and to reproduce. Instinctually, we are also social animals, requiring our tribe to survive.

Maybe because we’re legally forbidden by other humans to move to a forest and live as our ancestors did, so we’re required to live “among society”, which in turn requires us to “pay” to “afford” food and shelter.

So, that’s the root of the problem, and it’s something we can change. See: Seneca Nation, or the people of Chiapas.

Wealth becomes meaningless.

I don’t think this is a negative…

So, I’ve gotta ask: Why don’t you just end the one life you can, since you hate all life? I mean, it sounds rather… illogical for you to type all that out, to tell other life what your thoughts are, since you hate all life anyways?

Why not go be a hermit then? Get away from all other humans, and just exist by yourself?

If you’re talking to people here, it means you enjoy your own life, and want to communicate your thoughts to other lives, so they can understand what you’re feelings are. Which means, at some level, you value life.
