You answered your own question there - sexism and patriarchy, which need women as objects and property, not individuals worthy of individual freedoms.

DessertStorms ,

That reason is capitalism, which sows division in favour of profit for a small number of people.

That's a lot of words to make the exact same excuses used not only to steal the art in the first place, but to colonise the countries it came from too - that us "civilised" people need to take care of their things because they are too "savage" to do it themselves.

Spoken like a true coloniser.

Fuck poachers, don't get me wrong, but fucking hell, I wish people had the same kind of energy when it came to billionaires, who are literally responsible for the deaths of millions of humans (by virtue of hoarding so many resources as well as creating and maintaining a system that relies on exploitation and suffering to benefit them and only them).

If only society cared about oppressed and marginalised people as much as it does about cute animals.

DessertStorms ,

Yes - the rich and powerful don't want those they oppress and exploit to rise up against them.

DessertStorms ,

those who spend their time doing something productive or at least attempting to make things a tiny bit better.

Except what they do is only productive towards maintaining the status quo and enabling the oppressive systems that exploit us to continue chugging on regardless.

Liberals while musk and his ilk actively contribute to the deaths of millions, and passively contribute to the deaths of millions more: I sleep
Liberals when some random individual on the internet makes a meme with him in a cartoon crosshairs: real shit laser eyes

You people are a joke, and this shit is never going to end if the most radical you think people should get in literal self defence of humanity, is asking sternly or voting for the other puppet.

MLK's words as relevant as always:

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Don't be that moderate, and it's not like anyone is asking you to pick up a gun, so for the sake of the rest of us: sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

In reality overpopulation is a myth and rather population decline is a real concern in many countries.

Now of course we can talk about who this concerns and why (under the current system? It concerns those who need workers to exploit, white supremacists looking to "overturn" the "great replacement", in some cases both, and it also concerns the aging population that will end up with very little support, something which wouldn't be as big an issue if we had stronger communities, but alienation and all that jazz, as well as the fewer workers who will remain to keep the economy going for minimal pay as they get bossed around by AI, because capitalism), and also about who pushes the overpopulation myth and why, but the bottom line is - the population isn't and never has been the problem (we already produce enough food to sustain everyone alive today and then some), it is capitalism and it's dependence on creating infinite growth in a finite world, at the expense of everyone and everything on the planet (themselves included except for the handful who will end up in orbit or whatever. And then die) that is the problem, and what we need to get rid of if we want to stop this dystopian spiral.

But that would send me in to a rant, and we wouldn't want that..
😳
lol

DessertStorms ,

No, but thanks for proving you barely read my reply, let alone any of the articles I linked in it, save me wasting my breath on such a loyal bootlicker!

Perhaps you should try reading that again, properly, before attempting to insert words in to (or remove them from) my keyboard again, and showing off your laziness, if not wilful ignorance:

(we already produce enough food to sustain everyone alive today and then some)

Lmfao, you were convinced you "had" me there, weren't you, clown... 🤣🤣
