I'm not sure that cats ever joined. They're just kind of hanging around with their own agenda.

Hey wheat, bro I’ll give you a field and you give me your wheaty goodness.
I like how we're slowly approaching the need for a c/neolithicmemes as a companion community to rough roman memes
Humans are the most political species. Politics is group decision making, and humans have the best group decision making processes. They even have organised structures for passing on knowledge and wisdom, which have ensured that nearly every generation of humans are smarter than the previous.
You know who has just as much raw intelligence as humans, but no politics? Octopuses. Fucking apolitical savages. They're capable of learning so much, I saw a youtube video where an octopus learned to play the piano. And by now he's probably dead, and his knowledge lost. Octopuses aren't political enough to teach each other. That's why they'll never get as much done as humans.
Billionaires are trying to convince you that you don't like politics, so you'll be as easy to control as the apolitical animals are. Do you want to be used for labour value by a smarter animal, like oxen are? If you aspire to apoliticism, you will be!

... that's fucking sad now that You say it like that.
Poor octopus.
Humans plant trees they will never feel the shade of, because they're political. Humans get to have a legacy. Humans get to live forever in the memories of those who succeed them. Humans get to enjoy community. Humans get to build something bigger than themselves.
That's what politics is. Politics are a gift. Politics are what separates person from beast. Politics are the joy of being human.
Who drew all these wojak animals
Every single great achievement of mankind derives from our ability to cooperate. It sucks that people don’t realize that
Meanwhile hens and cows: "am I a joke to you?"
We didn't really team up with them or anything, we just kind of put a fence around them and then started eating their babies.
donkey was domesticated before horses
Bread is arguably the big one, though I suppose you need fire for that.
Bread's not that big, surprisingly! Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic, but it's not a major contributor to the spread and success of civilizations.
The horse has been kinda shoved out of the way for now. It's good that he's still around though, in case this whole civilization thing goes sideways but doesn't actually kill us all.
