Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

It is absolutely wild to me that chuds don't care at all against police violence towards poor people and POC, but a "democrat sherriff" euthanizes a squirrel and suddenly the entire system needs to be brought to its knees. I know its disingenuous, that they don't really care, its just a shitty call to action, but fuck me man

They should claim the squirrel was Palestinian

The squirrels are hamas!!!!

You are voting in a nation of 0.3 billion people and your concerns are "A" squarel, "A" racoon and "A" gorilla. American elections are useless but even this is too pointless

Don't ask them about all the pets directly killed by Trump supporting cops.

Tragic story but what the hell does this have to do with the election?

Chud/lib voter mobilization fantasies.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

If Trump wins, the libs won't shut up, and if Kamala wins, the chuds will do another jan 6th and the libs still won't shut up. The election is eternal and all consuming 😔

I wanted to know more, too, so I went looking and found this: the Trump campaign is using Peanut as a talking point

The cops were democrats, of course.

OK, so that's the squirrel, the gorilla is Harambe (it's been eight years ffs), so what's the deal with the raccoon?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I think the same people had a pet racoon that was also euthanised

For a moment I thought these were democrats who understood the Squirrel's euthanasia to be Trump's fault, the same way they see police brutality under Biden and then actually say that this will be Trump's America

I HATE CONCERN TROLLING

I HATE CONCERN TROLLING

These chuds tend to be animal cruelty enjoyers (especially of the "every animal that a vegan doesn't eat I will eat two!" grillman variety) and a lot of them abuse their pets, treating them the way they treat their spouses and children.

Unredeemable.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're not actually concern trolling though. It's just typical conservative in-group out-group stuff again. Dogs are in, cats mostly, rescued or "rescued" animals most definitely, even when they're usually versions hunted for sport and/or factory farmed. On the latter I'm kind of unsure as to whether some notion of bootstrap plays into it.

Much like with everything else they just don't realize this in-group and out-group thing, albeit that's not even limited to actual chuds as per animals.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not as certain they actually care that much about squirrels, even with what you say.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They don't care about* squirrels*, they care about these two specific squirrels (or, well, one of them, none of them having read the actual story) because they got their heartstrings tucked by coverage about it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That still sounds like concern trolling to me; I really doubt Harambe actually mattered to them either except as some edgy in-joke.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I have nothing to back it up but from personal experience most people do hate the idea of bad things happening to animals, it's just most of it is out of sight, out of mind. They don't think about where their steaks come from or, even if you'd point towards some monkey killing buisiness in the wild as per harambe, where the factory feed comes from. Doesn't really matter whether they're aware of the links there or not, it's just how things is.

But then Harambe isn't how things is, there's not supposed to be children in gorilla enclosures. Of course, the question as to whether there should even be gorilla enclosures also doesn't play - that's just how things is - but the child in the gorilla enclosure is where their brain starts to connect "this was unnecessary", because it's easily solved, Cincinnati Zoo just has to put up some bigger fences or whatever, job's done, animal cruelty issue solved.

I like how the AI seems to have attempted to make the gorilla and the racoon look realistic and then went "fuck it, I'm going full cartoon on the squirrel"
