Guy who tortured a wolf and paraded it's body around is now receiving death threats

There have been 21 lethal attacks of wolves on humans in the recorded history of North America EVER and 2 lethal attacks in the last century.

https://pounceconservation.weebly.com/how-common-are-wolf-attacks.html

The reintroduction of wolves transformed the ecosystem of Yellowstone for good. They not only hunt but disperse ruminants so they don't concentrate on specific locations and interrupt plantlife there. They hunt weak prey, maybe those that suffer from illness (like CWD) already. They leave carrion for scavengers who can spread seeds of specific trees like willows which also had a comeback in Yellowstone. Through dispersing the ruminants they enabled the comeback of the beaver who also worked towards restoring the plantlife via new waterways.

I'm from Europe but I see the stupidity and sadism of North Americans especially in Wyoming, North- and South Dakota, Montana, Utah & Pennsylvania everyday on my timeline. The depicted case is no singular event. They systematically hunt down apex predators like foxes, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and also very advantageous animals like oppossums (ticks) and beavers (preventing wildfires and restoring nature) and racoons (pestcontrol).

The images I've seen made by Pennsylvanian firefighters(!) hunting down foxes in fundraising hunting events were just harrowing.

Then those sick in the head hunters & trappers and their spoiled kids pose themselves as the only viable solution to regulating overpopulating tick-ridden ruminants or the recent superboar infestation after they killed of all their natural predators.

I wish them good luck with CWD and Alpha-Gal ticks in deers when they've exterminated the species that could effectively render CWD harmless:

But thank god your precious livestock can live. Who needs the 4% wild animals (opposed to the 60% of livestock biomass)?

Deutschlandticket vor dem Aus? Union will Regierung nicht bei Fortführung unterstützen

Schade mein sehr langer Kommentar ist anscheinend im digitalen Nexus verschwunden als die WLAN-Verbindung genau im Moment des Abschickens abbrach.

Also jetzt einfach der Verweis auf Lage der Nation #405 in der ein Interview mit einer deutschen Ökonomin geführt wird, die am MIT forscht.

Sie legt dort eine grobe Skizzierung eines Masterplans für DE vor und zieht Vergleiche zwischen dem Verlust der Wahlen der Dems in den USA und dem Erstarken der AfD. Grundlegende Lösung: Zugeständnisse an die Bürger. Und zwar finanziell. Finanziert über die Aufhebung der Schuldenbremse. Ihr Tipp an Merz: Jetzt in diesem Punkt mit Scholz kooperieren und Machtinteressen kurzfristig beiseite legen, da durch die zu befürchtende Sperrminorität von BSW & AfD im nächsten Jahr eine Blockade Richtung Schuldenbremse zu befürchten ist. Andernfalls wäre ein Siegeszug der AfD sehr wahrscheinlich.

Die Zerstörung des Deutschlandtickets ist ergo genau die falsche Richtung. Was treibt diese Saboteure eigentlich an?

I read somewhere (sorry no sauce but it seemed informed) that it's a deliberate choice by him to appeal to working class boomers or something. Did you all know that a medium channeled his deceased dog which in turn told him to run for president?

Nein. Es war nur eine rhetorische Frage und sie war wirklich überflüssig. Ich bin eigentlich erst in den letzten 5 Jahren dahinter gekommen, wie bösartig und verblendet diese ganzen Schlipsträger aus den konservativen und libertären Parteien wirklich sind. Sie hatten in den krisenhaften Jahren wirklich viele Möglichkeiten dazu, das jedem zu zeigen und haben diese volle ausgeschöpft. Was mich wirklich wundert sind die Boomer, GenXer und Millenials, die schon wieder ihre Schlächter wählen. GenZ und Alpha geschenkt. Die meisten sind da eh komplett überfordert. Der Algorithmus ist unser Downfall und ich glaube, dass uns nur noch whitehat hacker retten können.

Fediverse is hardly keeping up. It's already a trend. That's why I'm still on X (and I hate to do that), where all of it is shown in realtime. There are already elementary school boys spouting that stuff to their female classmates. Read a tweet from a teacher who cheered a girl that snapped and knocked a boy out after he said it.

A Violent Israeli immigrant to Canada threatens Canadian protesters in their own country with a nail gun shouting "Every f*cking Palestinian will die!" But then they tell us to fear Muslims.

In recent years, genetic studies have demonstrated that, at least paternally, the various Jewish ethnic groups and the Palestinians are related to each other. Genetic studies have shown that Jews and Palestinians are closer to each other than the different Jewish groups are to their respective host countries. At the haplogroup level, defined by the binary polymorphisms only, the Y chromosome distribution in Arabs and Jews was similar but not identical.

Not to mismatch with the people living in modern Israel which are often Western or East Europe descendants.

Venezuela's government accuses US of attacking civilian, military installations in multiple states

Reply in thread

While I wholeheartly agree with OP and believe Harris would have taken a different course than the self proclaimed zionist Biden and would've given voices like Mamdani, Omar, Sanders and AOC much more weight and I'm convinced that women have a much better potential to fundamentally change the world for good (there are micro loan programs only catered to women because they are so much more trustworthy), it's still a women named Marina Corina Machado who cheers for this and wants to sell out Venezuela to the US. And other women who I deeply trusted to do the right thing fail miserably all the sudden:

My favorite poster on Mastodon regarding the "Both Sides Bad" discussion always has excellent takes on topic of non- and protest-voting.

Multiple people in his vicinity including me tried to convince US citizens on Mastodon to vote for Harris to no avail. Some of them didn't even know about the Heritage Foundation and their plans and if they knew they said it wasn't in line with Trumps agenda.

Nur unter Harris hätte es noch eine Chance gegeben das Electoral College und das Winner-Takes-All System zu reformieren. Die nächste Wahl wird vermutlich keine sein, wenn man Project 25 (was selbst den ungebildeten MAGAs eine Heidenangst machen würde, wenn sie es denn kennen würden) ernst nimmt. Dann werden die Proud Boys Wahlbeobachter sein.

196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.

Hello from Europe. Please inform yourself about Project 2025 if you haven't. If you already did and insist on your position to vote 3rd party and still don't get that you won't have fair elections in your lifetime anymore when orange cheato & the heritage foundation come into power I can't really feel sorry for you. I'm sorry for anybody who'll get dragged with you into a christo-fascist handmaids tale nation, though.

More content than you ever could consume:

https://media.ccc.de/

It's from all their camps, workshops, Erfa's (Erfahrungsaustauschkreis) and especially the annual Chaos Communication Congress which is huge and attracts the scene worldwide.

The last congress was named 38C3: Illegal Instructions if you want to search on their media hub. A lot of the talks are in english.

We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible.

Also: animal ag uses 80% of all arable land with most of it destined for grazing land (which a lot of (rain-)-forest had to be razed for) while only producing 17% of global calories and 38% of global proteins. The rest comes from human edible plants. A global switch to a plant based diet would reduce land usage from 4 to 1 billion. It's still possible to re-wild grazing lands.
