I don’t know anything more disturbingly capitalist than to perceive intelligent living beings as commodities.

intelligent is a relative term. but i can certainly show you something more disturbingly capitalist: exploiting people for profit.

Growing less profitable is not a natural cause of death.

no, and it’s also not the cause of death for any of the animals we eat or otherwise exploit.

There’s nothing natural about being slaughtered against your will.

this assumes non-human animals have a will to live. this would require an understanding that they, themselves, might die. we have no proof of understanding personal mortality in non-human animals (though, if you have a study that shows otherwise, i would be very interested to see it). therefore, we have no reason to believe nonhuman animals have a will to live.

That’s insane

that’s ableist

none of them would live that long without human intervention. that’s an artificial lifespan.

cows can live 15 to 20 years if they have protection from predators, and weather, and disease, and access to enough nutritious food, clean water, and veterinary care.

their natural life span, being a domesticated animal, is usually about 18-20 months.

the vast majority of make dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter: 18-20 months

that chart is all lies. none of those animals have a natural lifespan that long

the most charitable thing i can say is that it’s possible that the anchors in the 80s didn’t understand their own biases. but i think they knew. we’ve all seen Network.

by virtue of the fact that they choose which stories to cover, they are slanting the conversation.

what is pure socialism?

i’m not the one whining about the user base

you can leave literally any time. there are dozens of instances, you don’t need to stay on flagship instances. you might like truth.social, which runs mastodon’s software, or gab.com which does the same.

i literally have a list, but some of them are my alts. i feel like you’ve given enough hints that i could probably duplicate your work, though.

would you share this tool

don’t make a choice to “send a message”.

no one has said this.

i think we’ve all seen enough chuds whine about their freeze peach. i also think it’s pretty naive to think there exists an instance without bias: that would be like saying there is a newspaper or tv news without bias.

so i don’t think this is a good question. it betrays ignorance or naivete, and can’t really be answerd succinctly.
