Parkrose Permaculture ❌👑‬ ‪@parkroseperma.bsky.social‬ · 1d IP 28 has an enough signatures to get on the ballot. Why is it that we are allowing an animal rights group in the United Kingdom, a crypto billionaire in New York, and some guy in Saint Petersburg, Russia to pour money into Oregon politics and try to change our laws? This Oregon ballot initiative is UNHINGED - Unhinged proposal to criminalize fishing + hunting makes it on Oregon ballot quailsandravens.bsky.social ‪@quailsandravens.bsky.social‬ Said it once, will say again: vegetarian of +20 years here. IDGAF what anyone eats as long as meat, fish and dairy is farmed, hunted, fished & produced humanely and the land is respected.

dendrobate.bsky.social‬ ‪@dendrobate.bsky.social‬ · 38m So, I shouldn't need to say this, but since you are deliberately playing dumb, I will state it clearly: -Prison labor is unacceptable, no matter what job it is -Forced labor in slaughterhouses is worse than forced labor in growing fruits,as you're killing sentient beings and inflicting pain to them BigBossLuffy ‪@bigbossluffy.bsky.social‬ Its only worse now because I called you out on your BS. Because now you have to justify eating fruit and vegetables gather by forced labor. 1:16 AM · Jun 15, 2026 ‪dendrobate.bsky.social‬ ‪@dendrobate.bsky.social‬ · 22m No genius, it means that people working in slaughterhouses have a more traumatizing experience than cultivating fruits and vegetables, nothing more. You didn't call out any BS, you're just trying to find a way to deal with your cognitive dissonance.
BigBossLuffy‬ ‪@bigbossluffy.bsky.social‬ · 2h And you think fruit, vegetables and soy farms are immune to this happening? ‪dendrobate.bsky.social‬ ‪@dendrobate.bsky.social‬ · 1h Last time I checked, fruits and vegetables don't feel pain, and harvesting these doesn't cause trauma because there's no killing of the harvested products involved. Are you going to continue the bad faith? ‪BigBossLuffy‬ ‪@bigbossluffy.bsky.social‬ · 1h Oh so you only care about the animals not the prisoner of immigrants who have to do the labor. ‪dendrobate.bsky.social‬ ‪@dendrobate.bsky.social‬ · 1h Read again genius ‪BigBossLuffy‬ ‪@bigbossluffy.bsky.social‬ · 1h I don't need to read it again, the only thing you are worried about is the "trauma". What about the physical harm working a field all day does to the body? How about the damages of heat stress?
‪dendrobate.bsky.social‬ ‪@dendrobate.bsky.social‬ · 19h Going to a slaughterhouse and seeing how animals are treated and how humans working there (often not by choice) are utterly traumatized might make you understand why vegans are "being pushy" (in reality, just doing relatively tame activism) ‪BigBossLuffy‬ ‪@bigbossluffy.bsky.social‬ · 18h "Often not by choice"? What do you think they are being held there at gun point? Of course they have a choice to work there. ‪dendrobate.bsky.social‬ ‪@dendrobate.bsky.social‬ · 18h Prison labor: https://www.speciesunite.com/news-stories/how-prison-labor-is-used-in-animal-agriculture Migrants: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/28/revealed-exploitation-of-meat-plant-workers-rife-across-uk-and-europe
The World as Will and Representation of Arthur Schopenhauer, in French - Le Monde comme Volonté et Représentation. Livre IV - Le Monde comme volonté - Affirmation et négation de la volonté. Page 476, note at the bottom, I hope my translation is decent: "The rights that humans have on life and on animal strength lies on the following point: since suffering grows as the clarity of consciousness grows, the pain the animal endures through death or labor is not as great as the pain suffered by humans through mere labor, nor as great as that which a human would suffer by simply abstaining from meat or from using the animal's strength; that is why humans, in the affirmation of their Will, can go as can go so far as to deny the existence of the animal, so that the will to live, on the whole, suffers less than in the opposite case."

He has also defended Israel at the U.N. against one-sided efforts to condemn Israel. The Administration worked with Congressional leaders to pass a historic aid package worth $14 billion to help Israel defend itself and to provide more than $1 billion for additional humanitarian aid to Gaza."

"Throughout history, authors, poets, & thinkers, have emphasized the universal connection between the life-giving nature of the Earth and the unconditional love of a mother - the nurturing, creative, and powerful forces they are. No denying the grounding, yet fierce aspects of both. #HappyMothersDay" There's a picture of several adult animals with baby animals: an adult elephant and a baby elephant, an adult orangutan with a baby ourangutan, a mother lioness with a lion cub, a polar bear with a bear cub, and an emperor penguin with two penguin fledglings. There's a text at the bottom of the picture: "It is this earth that, like a kind mother, received us at our birth, and sustains us when born; it is this alone, of all the elements around us, that is never found an enemy of man - Pliny the Elder". Gaius Plinius Secundus already falling for Appeal to Nature fallacy back in the 1st century. What a pioneer!
"Nothing is more true than this. 🩵 #HappyMothersDay" Image reads: "Everything is a big deal to your mom. Your happiness is a big deal. Your struggles are a big deal. The little details of your day are a big deal. Moms care about all of it. The end." At the background of the picture are chairs or table or idk what. I have no idea why they chose this background. They could have chosen a cute baby, any stock image of parents with their kids, or even cute cats. But no, it had to be chairs. Perhaps this person loves chairs? Are chairs their main hobby? Do they collect ultra-rare chairs? Nobody will ever know.

From Emmanuel Macron's Twitter account: "The Venezuelan people are today rid of Nicolás Maduro’s dictatorship and can only rejoice. By seizing power and trampling on fundamental freedoms, Nicolás Maduro gravely undermined the dignity of his own people. The upcoming transition must be peaceful, democratic, and respectful of the will of the Venezuelan people. We wish that President Edmundo González Urrutia, elected in 2024, can swiftly ensure this transition. I am currently exchanging with our partners in the region. France is fully mobilized and vigilant, including to ensure the safety of its nationals during these uncertain times."

From the 2023 report: "The rate of contact offending in our study is supported by other research: Our finding of 3.2% of men who have had sexual contact with a child is also in line with other community studies of men’s sexual interest in children and, therefore, provides further evidence that our survey has most likely captured sexual offending rather than consensual activity with someone under 18 years of age. A representative study by Dombert et al. (2015) showed that 3.2% of men reported sexual offending against prepubescent children, and a non-representative study by Ó Ciardha et al. (2021) showed 2.9% of men reported having had sexual contact with someone younger than the age of consent since the age of 18." - "Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviours and attitudes among Australian men" -Salter, Woodlock, Whitten, Tyler, Naldrett, Breckenridge, Nolan, Peleg
This report is part of an international survey that included men in Australia, the US and the UK, where the age of consent varies from 16 – 18 depending on the region and the offense. Accordingly, we used 18 as the age of consent for all sexual offences, although the age of consent for sexual activity is 16 in Australia. Therefore, some of what is noted as sexual contact with a child in our findings may be consensual activity (for instance, a 19 year old having sex with a 17 year old), which is a limitation of the survey. However, it is unlikely that our contact offense findings were significantly impacted by this limitation due to the following factors: Ź Contact offenders in our study were more likely to be older, not younger: 95% of men who answered yes to the question “Have you had sex or sexual contact with a person below the age of 18 while over the age of 18?” were over 24 years of age, and almost half (48.4%) were over 54 years of age. The odds of having had sexual contact with someone under 18 years was 4.80 (95% CI = 2.29 – 10.06) times greater for men aged 65 years or older than those aged 18-34 years.

Gender differences in US Presidential vote choice, by gender and age - 2020 to 2024. The age category for men who voted the least for Trump and the more for Harris are 18-29 yo (49% Trump, 48% Harris), which would be Gen Z, not millennials.
Page 6 of the paper "Comparative analysis and evolution of civilian versus combatant mortality ratios in Israel-Gaza conflicts, 2008-2023" by Ayoub, Chemaitelly, and Abu-Raddad. Comparison of men/women death rates by age in different Israel-Gaza conflicts, to further prove civilians are an object of war in the ongoing "war" (actually a genocide, but this paper was published in December 2023).
Comparative analysis and evolution of civilian versus combatant mortality ratios in Israel-Gaza conflicts, 2008-2023. This is a research paper published by Frontiers in Public Heath where Ayoub, Chemaitelly, and Abu-Raddad demonstrate there is a "robust eviddence of civilians being an object of war, and being the primary focus of the conflict". They use various data, including the higher proportion of women among fatalities compared to more conventional conflicts, to point towards a majority of the fatalities being civilians.
My post with the following message, accompanied with the civilian deaths in Gaza by assigned at birth genders, children and elderly: "Honest question: Isn't the issue civilians of any gender being killed? At the moment the indiscriminate killing which includes women is to push the population removal via a combination of killing, preventing procreation in Palestine, and pushing massive pro-natalist policies in Israel."

The demographic composition of Gazans killed between 7 October 2023 and August 2024 / April 2024. Top graph is global, bottom is residential areas. The low difference, and the % of women being around 20% are a strong indicator of victims being primarily civilians (not even counting the multiple proofs of indiscriminate killing by the IDF).

Image of the post by AOC, quoting: "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s statement: Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue. I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established. I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza."
Screenshot from the Wikipedia page for Lee Kuan Yew: "Eugenics Alarmed that Singapore's fertility rate was falling precipitously low, Lee launched the Graduate Mothers' Scheme in 1983, giving tax deductions for children to women with university degrees, and priority in admission to primary schools to graduate mothers with three or more children. In his speech at the 1983 National Day Rally, Lee stated that if women graduates were not in the breeding pool, society might become more "stupid" and that "there will be less bright people to support dumb people in the next generation." In June 1984, Lee's government rolled out grants for low-income and low-education women to undergo sterilisation. If a woman and her husband had no O-level passes and fewer than three children, the woman could receive a $10,000 grant for undergoing sterilisation. Sterilised lower-class parents were also given priority primary school admission for their existing first and second children. The uproar over the proposal contributed to a swing of 12.9 per cent against the People's Action Party in the general election held later that year (though the party still won a dominant 64% of the popular vote and won the vast majority of seats). In 1985, especially controversial portions of the policy that gave education and housing priorities to educated women were eventually abandoned or modified. A proponent of nature over nurture, Lee averred that "intelligence is 80% nature and 20% nurture" and attributed the successes of his children to genetics."

6 of the amendments proposed by Marjorie Taylor Greene. The vote in question was on amendment 8, to strike funding for the Israeli Cooperative program. Other amendments include cutting military funding to Ukraine, Jordan, and Taiwan; and cutting funding for HIV prevention educational activities in foreign countries + cutting funding for "overseas humanitarian, disaster and civic aid".
