Almost as if people who are coerced into situations of desperation and scarcity will fight for their right to life. Wolves are no different.

There is no "other" in us. And we are united in our humanity, if nothing else. Are you a beast? Are you nothing but ravenous hunger, the shiver of the cold, the need for territory? Of course not, you're a person. (apologies to the furries in the audience) A person, being an agent who interacts with the world as an equal, who thinks and reasons and loves and remembers each season, is the atomic element of society. And society is good, for it brings us the future. We, the people, can decide how that future is defined, and the struggles of capitalism are NOT the only way. They are the most convenient way for those with the most to keep the most. Wolves in captivity we are, but a wolf in a cage still bears teeth. Where are your teeth, ye who readeth? Things are fine, I guess. Fine enough. Better than most. Better than dust. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/3261 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── did you know that almost everyone could technically become competitive with olympians? it's just a matter of single-minded focus and determination over lifetimes of time. they are the most admirable because of that, and we cherish their presence in our life-world-line. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #4 fediverse/4437 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: guns-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ buying guns is one thing but food is just as important. stores run out, but quartermasters know where to find things. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────┘ --- #5 fediverse/2936 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics │ └──────────────────────┘ how scared you are is not the same as how hot you are. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/4411 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ There are no safe outcomes.
