When Trump brought the cat and dog thing up at the debate, I thought he was cooked and that nobody in the right frame of mind, not even the average chud, would believe it, but the next day people at my work were talking about how true it is and that it needs to be stopped. It's amazing and scary how easily people are quick to believe something without a shred of evidence.

Even my mom texted me a mugshot of a woman who was arrested for killing and trying to eat a cat. But when I replied that it happened in a completely different city and the suspect was a US born citizen with mental issues, she said that the suspect was actually Haitian, it happened in Springfield and the police are pretending it happened somewhere else to make their town look good.

I don't even know how to respond to a take like that. Just a year or so ago she was happy to see Alex Jones getting canceled for threatening families of the kids who died at Sandy Hook. Now she's believing and forwarding Jones-grade conspiracy shit, and she couldn't care less about school shootings anymore. It's depressing as fuck.

    Tbh seems a little bad faith, even if hypercracker could have phrased the title better, because saying it obviously implies it’s barbaric and not the norm

      If I’m being generous with that sub, It’s worded awfully and not very necessary.

        What do you mean not necessary? It’s not necessary to point out the absurdity of the outrage by people who eat meat every day?

          It’s not necessary to distract from the persecution of a group of people from the poorest part of the world to make it about something completely fucking unrelated
