it's weird that everyone focused on the impossibility of feral pigs existing because it seems like shooting at pigs in your yard when your children are also playing in your yard is the problem

The hot take is coming from inside the Vox.

quote:

Feral pigs are a serious agricultural problem. But they present, I would argue, a serious, no-joke, moral problem too. The image of hunting tourists in helicopters raining death upon the hogs — and even of experienced conservation personnel trapping and euthanizing the hogs — raises an obvious moral question: Is it ethical to kill hogs in this manner?

The author goes on to suggest that we instead drug the hogs with contraceptives.

This is one of the core strengths of right wing ideology. Being both factually and morally wrong both on extraordinary levels.

It instantly divides the enemy into two camps, the nitpicks and the scolds, neither delivering a coherent rebuttal that becomes the core reply.

on the one hand, they already lay out tainted food for raccoons in parks to eat so that they either get sick or don't breed, so it's not an unprecedented solution. they'd have to spread this out over a far larger distance, of course

on the other hand, the fact that Vox found it necessary to write something serious to a thoroughly insane tweet is laughable but typical for them. that, along with the fact that they're one of, like, three online media conglomerates that own 95% of the news you read online makes them a disease

This reminds me of the incredible I Poison Dogs twitter account, which I can't find anymore. Must've been banned by bleeding heart libs, :rip:.

Anyway, if you somehow could come up with a plan to give feral hogs contraceptives at a high enough rate to control their population, it still wouldn''t solve the immediate problem of massive numbers of feral hogs running around presenting a danger to other wildlife. If human civilization imbalances the ecosystem to favor one species in the absence of its natural predators, like feral hogs, then there's a moral duty to kill some hogs. You can't just wring your hands and get bogged down in the moral uncertainty of dealing with a pestilence. I doubt any of these city slicker writers ever wring their hands over rat poison or fly swatters.

Technically true, in that the "rigorous scientific" definition of "species" frequently doesn't match up to actual species distinctions we draw and there's millions of fuzzy lines there.

And the entire concept of species pretty much exists to backfit modern biology to Aristotle's categorization fetish.

This reminds me of one of the most baffling arguments I ever got into online, where this arch reactionary was trying to insist that hyenas are dogs - even though they're their own evolutionary family and are more closely related to cats.

The CEO of my company was in the city and decided to deliver an "informal training" session at 8 PM yesterday.

Jesus gently caress rich people are so loving broken.

The training session was actually a presentation in which he ranted about his world views for two hours. Many classics:
-The Rothschilds control the world and have been since the Battle of Waterloo
-Jews hate the Gold Standard and that's why they caused the 1970s oil crisis to collapse the Bretton Woods system
-I'm not an anti-semite, I'm a semitophile because I think that's awesome
-Jews are the smartest ethnicity on Earth
-The Rothschilds control the world by controlling the monetary system
-All of the assassinated US presidents were killed by the Jews because they tried to challenge their control of the monetary system
-The reason Iran is being painted as an enemy is because they want to sell oil in Euros rather than Dollars and Jews can't let that happen because they want the Dollar to remain the world currency since they control it the most by owning the Fed (they also own all other central banks but ???)
-The Great Depression was caused by the Jews
-Hitler was funded by the Jews but they miscalculated and he got out of control
-Hitler was left wing
-Hitler greatly respected Polish people (lol, also this is in Poland)
-World War 2 was started by America because they were angry at France because France insisted on upholding the Versailles treaty but America wanted to make money instead
-World War 1 was started by America in order to make money
-Keynes sucks and is ridiculous and doesn't work, also Hitler managed to bring Germany out of the Great Depression and into being a superpower because he used Keynesian economics, but also they don't work and should be ridiculed
-Now Milton Friedman is the man but the leftists and Jews discredit him by giving Nobel prizes to left-wing economists to brainwash people
-The EU is leftist and its collapse is inevitable and imminent and it almost collapsed in 2009 so it would be better to leave but the Jews won't let it happen
-The Greek economic crisis was caused by the Jews because
-George Soros is spreading leftist ideas and is fudned by the Rothschilds and he got a loan from Goldman Sachs. Think about it, if you or I had 15 million dollars and went to Goldman Sachs to get a loan of 1 billion dollars do you think we'd get it? ----Also the Soros Fund doesn't list Soros anywhere but the name and it lists Rothschilds in its documents


But the absolute best part was at the very start. The real gem.

You see, the price ratio of gold to silver has an objective value of 16. Even ancient people calculated it and knew it. So, if the ratio in the markets is different you know which one to short and which one to buy, since it will inevitably trend back to the objective ratio. You can count on it because the sun goes around the earth 16 times more often than the moon.

(i guess heliocentricity is also for leftits?)
