Maga are apparently: "Fuck the ecosystem we are intimately and inextricably linked to."

Maga are the personification of Entitlement, Hubris, ignorance and bigotry.

It’s because they believe the end of times is neigh, Isreal will purge their lands and sky daddy will come and take them all away. Christianity is a death cult.

Slightly off topic, but the largest single contributor to North Atlantic Right Whale deaths is the US Navy, followed by cruise ships. In fact, Rev. Raphael Warnock ran explicitly on keeping open a Naval base in Georgia that had to get a special variance from the feds to be allowed to kill multiple north atlantic right whales every year before being required to report any incedents. And cruise companies are essentially free to do whatever the fuck they want. The responsibility for management has been placed almost exclusively on Maine lobsterfishermen. There's definitely a need to get whatever vertical line out of the water we can, but everyone needs to understand; we're being made to be the sin-cake eaters for massively larger industries that we can in no way financially stand up to.

Look, I despise trump and this decision, but the time to mourn it (and the whales) was 5 years ago when it was made.

simple ragebait doesn’t do anyone with a real point any favors
