Those are the poor old Democrats who were afraid of being seen as Leftist (whatever that means anymore). Probably left over from their brainwashing and the redbaiting from the Cold War era.
And of course they got reelected on fatcat capitalists’ $$

Like rodeo, another part of the hideous world of animal agriculture—“sports” to remind us of our supremacy over animals and nature.

Progressives:
You need to think a little harder and deeper or we are not going to achieve a better world.

Knowing that Homo sapiens clings to a world view that sees all of this as normal and acceptable, tells me that the word “humanity“ has taken a dark, new meaning.

Americans have always idolized and romanticized farmers… Simple folks, living close to the land.

But they’re gone, displaced by corporate factory farms.

Yet the myth persists. Farmers now— along with cops, soldiers— are aligning with the bad guys.

Women’s bodies became male property for sexual pleasure since about three or 4000 BC when they were kidnapped as “spoils“ of wars— the incessant conflicts over land, water, and animals throughout the ancient Middle East.

Western agrarian culture looked down on peoples who had not dominated nature. Deemed primitive. Uncivilized.
This is the foundation of racism.

Jim Mason @jimmasonauo.bsky.social · 1d

Animals are not in their sphere of moral concern.
Several millennia of agrarian culture has denied our kinship with our Animal cousins. Made them slaves and resources.
It’s a prejudice. It’s similar to the white supremacy that prevails today.

These arrogant pissants can deny and lie and defy congressional authority with impunity.
Why can’t we impose some kind of penalties— fines?—for this behavior?
Better yet, suspend them from their official duties.
Better yet, remove them from Office.

There oughta be something like contempt of Congress, contempt for defying a higher authority, and a penalty for doing that.
Congress needs to reclaim its power over these lying sleazy officials.

Yup 😞 We habitually buy little [plastic wrapped packages of horror], whilst giving no consideration whatsoever to the life that was stolen within, or the corrupt, violent death industry that is profiting off of said horror.

Please, take the blinders off & start learning to live vegan Veganuary.com

The ultimate triumph of the industries of death is making us willing participants in their plastic-wrapped horror.

Greta Thunberg is hated because she is so subversive of the prevailing dominant world view of human supremacy over the living world. This bullshit makes most of the world’s people feel comfortable and special.
Greta and many of us around the world are saying NO to this.

I thought our founding fathers crafted the constitution to guard against psycho tyrants having power over all of us.
So all of that history we learned in public school was some kind of a joke?

If we are supposed to have democracy—a government by the people, of the people—how come one person gets to wield so much power over the nation‘s business?

Most of the Left leaders are afraid of the Animal Question. Or maybe just misinformed. It is basic to the Nature Question— intellectuals’ football of the 20th century.
Animal domestication was the original slavery and oppression and the model for all the others.

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."

They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

Enjoying while causing the suffering of another is the very definition of sadism.

Our lifelong habit of using animals (food, clothing, entertainment etc) can be a painful subject to confront. I understand that, near every vegan does as we’ve all been through it. But as every V will also attest, it is ✨THE BEST FEELING✨ to come into alignment w our deeply held values ❤️‍🩹 #ChooseLove

People dislike Greta Thunberg because of jealousy and misogyny. That’s it. They can’t handle a young woman with that level of courage and conviction.

Please read up on the history and anthropology of pre-history pastoralists, the inventors of patriarchy, male dominance, and female slavery.

Jim Mason @jimmasonauo.bsky.social · 2d

What angers me the most is that we don’t have some piece of our government that can step in and really stop this tyranny and violence…
And take the leaders of it to court …
ASAP.
