Claims to be a writer for "The Atlantic"
Doesn't support Orcas
Curiousbruh theyre doing the parenti thing to god damn orcas now
if this isnt proof they are sapient idk what is
Bit idea: go to beehaw and call anyone who supports the orcas a tankie
But that wouldn't be(e) nice so it's not allowed.
Wait what's that? Oh being kind doesn't apply to tankies on beehaw? Like all liberal spaces beehaw is a den of ridiculous hypocrisy? No way!
We can also bully them on what few common platforms remain. Saw one on Lemmygrad earlier today somehow.
I'm sure the author is a fan of the Dark Forest hypothesis. You gotta shoot first and ask questions later if you think something is sapient, because of course that's what WE would do, amirite?
That's why I kill everyone I see. They might kill me first, it's what I would do if I were them
Literally there is no better surname for someone sanctimoniously scolding you about "misguided" boat discourse than Stern.
Homie looks like he's about to round up the bois and sing barbershop quartet
:de-rhetoric: [FAILURE] Don't you know it's bad when orcas, killer whales, capsize boats? They're not your friends. Stop, no! Stop cheering!
I'm of the opinion that if sharks are fish so are every other vertebrate
First: The uncertain, unsettled condition of this science of Cetology is in the very vestibule attested by the fact, that in some quarters it still remains a moot point whether a whale be a fish. In his System of Nature, A.D. 1776, Linnæus declares, “I hereby separate the whales from the fish.” But of my own knowledge, I know that down to the year 1850, sharks and shad, alewives and herring, against Linnæus’s express edict, were still found dividing the possession of the same seas with the Leviathan.
The grounds upon which Linnæus would fain have banished the whales from the waters, he states as follows: “On account of their warm bilocular heart, their lungs, their movable eyelids, their hollow ears, penem intrantem feminam mammis lactantem,” and finally, “ex lege naturæ jure meritoque.” I submitted all this to my friends Simeon Macey and Charley Coffin, of Nantucket, both messmates of mine in a certain voyage, and they united in the opinion that the reasons set forth were altogether insufficient. Charley profanely hinted they were humbug.
Be it known that, waiving all argument, I take the good old fashioned ground that the whale is a fish, and call upon holy Jonah to back me. This fundamental thing settled, the next point is, in what internal respect does the whale differ from other fish. Above, Linnæus has given you those items. But in brief, they are these: lungs and warm blood; whereas, all other fish are lungless and cold blooded.

being scolded by an Atlantic Columnist who's dressed like he's about to do a minstrel show gives me the strong urge to do the opposite of whatever he says, not even out of contrarianism, but out of pure burning spite.
I dont give a shit if you work at Arby's, if you went to any school called "Georgetown Day School" for primary school you're automatically bourgeoisie
The writer has never been shoved into a locker and it shows.
TIL that when you join the soccer team at Yale, you get to wear an outfit that makes you look as if you're shilling Professor Roderick Fopplewomper's Patented Head and Butt Ailment Miracle Elixir at the 1908 Chicago World Fair.
Editor's note: The patent covers the head and butt ailment, the elixir is just a mix of cow piss and laudanum.
And though recent events may fit the story of these orcas’ being anti-colonial warriors, you can’t just anthropomorphize animals selectively. What about all the other “evidence” we have of orcas’ cruelty, or even wickedness? Scientists say they hunt and slaughter sharks by the dozen, picking out the liver from each one and leaving the rest of the carcasses to rot uneaten. Orcas kill for sport. They push, drag, and spin around live prey, including sea turtles, seabirds, and sea lions. Some go so far as to risk beaching themselves in order to snag a baby seal—not to consume, but simply to torture it to death. Once you start applying human ethical standards to apex predators, things turn dark fast.
....lol OK let's take a look at humanity's treatment of other sentient life next
It isn't anti-colonial violence because it's ridiculous to call Gibraltar a colony. Spain is not a victim of colonialism and it is ridiculous to compare a territorial dispute between Spain and Britain with the colonial pasts of either nation
I guess I figured it was "anti-colonial" against humans colonizing marine resources lol, but if people are really tying it to Gibraltar then ...lol....
we found him
