@jackLondon Murdoch THE ABSOLUTE WORSE THING (POS) to happen to American news and media reporting in my lifetime. One of many negative extremes that human beings will take Capitalism to. It can really make you question how good of a species we are, to be able to easily harm each other for personal profit. 🤑🤢
@jackLondon You can say there are a lot of good people out there but there are also a lot of shits, along with the sheep. It does not bode well for the species or the planet. ☠️
I don't think sheep get to vote.... humankind is not perfectable - no surprise that. Planning on the basis that it is seems to me an error that will always result in disappointment
@jackLondon These are natural or volunteer sheep happy, apathetic, or just not strong enough to resist or assert. Maybe it was that self serving fantasy that they gulped down. Easier to just hoof it down the shoot to their shearing. 😳
There are various breeds of sheep - merino is one I beleive
None of them volunteer for anything and I am not up on research into their emotional state.....or whether such animals have fantasies
@jackLondon I’ve been speaking in metaphorical, an analogy basis. You understand that, yes? Or are you accusing me of insulting the sheep? 😋
I am standing up for sheep - and against the othering of people you disagree with by decribing them as a different species
Othering is a base form of argument - all human beings are people - not sheep
Outside the New Testament that is - where Jesus is said to have divided people into sheep and goats
Presumably #russelBrand is a goat....
@jackLondon I am describing a characteristic associated with sheep and often attributed to humans, you’re objection is noted. 🤔Have a good day.
@Huntn00
Well we got #Murdoch poison imposed on our politics in the UK first..... I doubt we would have left the EU or suffered the worst right wing stupidity in history without his malign influence
He & his ilk enabled all the far Right populism that has sickened multiple countries in Europe
I think it no exaggeration to say our collective politics now is worse & more dangerous than it has been since the 1930s.... and it is largely down to the rise of the egocentric right he represents
