Such amounts of tumblr liberalism are unheard of in a single post

we got:

fandom url

moralizing violence

fandom screenshot set to make a point, added points for sarcasm and double that for being the good place

"leftists", "progressive"

giving a speech

hand-wringing about revolution, treating it as an impossible thing that has never happened and will never happen

utilitarian-like numbers game, toddler level understanding of how change happens under liberal democracies

surely voting will work this time, we just need to keep voting

we live in a democracy

hold up im reading more about the lionfish thing and this one island in Honduras has had such a huge problem with lionfish that the measures they have taken include

• getting special exemption from the Honduran government to allow divers access to harpoons and spears which are otherwise illegal in fishing

• public campaign to teach people how to prepare and eat lionfish (apparently they are very tasty once the poisonous spines are removed) (but watch out)

• holding lionfish combination hunting competition and cookout (reportedly they killed and cooked 1,700 in a day) (someone killed 60 of them with a rubber band spear gun???)

• most recently and apparently out of desperation, the divers in charge of culling the lionfish in the Roatan Marine Park just started. feeding the lionfish they killed to sharks. bc what else are you gonna do with it

• the sharks don’t seem to notice or be affected by the poison and begin hanging out with the divers

• the sharks then were seen hunting and killing the lionfish on their own

like this is nuts to me sorry. the sharks just had to be shown “hey this is food, did you know?? you can eat these!! here try one!!” we are possibly altering an entire foodchain bc we like feeding the big ocean wolves
