    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.

      Society doesn’t care about cute or endangered animals. The rangers represent a minority.

        That’s bullshit.
        I’d agree that not enough people care, but significantly more people care about cute endangered animals than they do marginalised and oppressed human beings.

        It doesn’t take a study to see the difference in attitudes and engagement (though studies have been done, feel free to invest your own time looking them up).

        The fact that you’ve responded to me to focus on the animals but not on the people my comment is actually about is a perfect illustration of my point.

          That’s all a narrative you created in your head. Besides, many of the same solutions that would protect endangered species would also protect marginalized people. You’re trying to make this into a Trolley Dilemmas for some reason. Who do you think are the ones buying dick powder made form Rhino horns?

      Your attitude is the only real reason for any gun control in America.

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

          Wow, watch me get down voted by all the redditors flooding the site. Wish they would take their bootlicking back where they came from if they enjoy the oppression so much

              His down votes must be because of redditors, so he doesn’t even CARE what they think! 😭

              If you really don’t know, then you probably can’t understand. If you’re being ironic, you missed and hit moronic.

            Bro, your opinion is like the majority of reddit are you high?

              What opinion? The only reason any piece of gun legislation has ever passed is to keep minorities and poors from arming themselves against oppression. That’s fact. Reddit is a bootlicking hellscape of do nothing liberals who want dasy government and mommy corporate to keep them safe and busy.

            My guy, it’s okay if you get downvoted here. This instance blocks brigading trolls so they’re likely legit.

            I’ve been downvoted here on like two comments so far and I really, really don’t care. You can manifest the same attitude within.

              Oh I’m not mad, just saw the instant emotional response to a simple statement of fact and it felt like I was back in the centrist circle jerk again.

                  Yeah it’s whatever. I’m not here looking for friends, especially not in a meme community.
