Silver lining, they were caught.
I made such a surprised face when the torture mogul decided to pose in front of a Trump flag. 😐
“I’m not a bad guy,” claims man with swastika tatoo, standing in front of Confederate flag.
Why the fuck is humanity so completely deranged? :(
I have no fucking clue but it gets tiring…
I wonder if we’re actually getting worse or if it’s just easier for the scum to coordinate and to some degree also be more visible due to the internet.
It is starting to feel like things used to be better, like we’re spiraling out of control.
There were more and more mass shootings, the alt right/extremists are spreading like a wild fire all over the globe, shit like this keeps happening.
I mean what the fuck? Where are we heading? And why? :/
if it’s just easier for the scum to coordinate
It is, read through history books. Humans always been absoulte scum of the earth
I disagree with this line of thinking. I see humans as generally good, but sometimes far too easily swayed and influenced, as well as very vulnerable to mental illness. It’s easy to have a pessimistic and nihilistic view, but it’s important to keep in mind that the vast, vast majority of people, if not all people, are victims of circumstance.
I feel like the pendulum swings on the cruelty (at least in areas of the world we pay attention to…), while the damage caused by human civilization just keeps growing and growing. And it’s definitely easier for the scum to coordinate through the internet, but also to recruit and infiltrate minds.
I’m just sitting here being nihilistic, “Après moi, le déluge” about everything, and listening to my “collapse” playlist. The relatives I used to love went full Qanon, so I only have my cat to worry about, now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My theory is that we were created by whatever most mythologies define as the devil, or altered / modified genetically by such a being into what we are today. The nice people who are altruistic are genetic throwbacks that the devil tried his hardest to breed out of the human race, but he wasn’t 100% successful.
Also, the true purpose of humanity is to destroy the earth via pollution and by killing and eating all the animals rather than to save the earth / take care of the animals. Things like cognitive dissonance were installed via software reprogramming (brainwashing) to take care of the remnant “moral feelings” that couldn’t quite be gotten rid of through DNA tweaking.
If you look at what the vast majority of what humankind are doing (rather than the small vocal minority of environmentalists) it honestly makes sense. Then again, I’ve come to see “God” as a mad scientist / absent minded professor who was all “Let’s move fast and break things, it’ll all probably work out post-beta” rather than an all powerful creator being. One of the many reasons I left the church.
Also, the true purpose of humanity is to destroy the earth via pollution
No. The purpose of a system being what it does, the purpose of life is to consume low-entropy states and excrete high-entropy states to stabilise, in a fleeting manner, low-entropy states, overall accelerating the generation of entropy in the universe and thereby hastening its demise.
Humanity’s role in all that is to colonise the stars to do it all even faster.
This is by far the most fucked up thing I’ve read in a long time. What the fuck is wrong with people? There is no punishment too inhumane for anyone who would do this.
Do you feel the same way about people who eat meat?
I don’t feel like that’s a fair comparison. Meat consumption has a lot of issues, but the consumer, at the end of the production chain, does not eat his steak with the mindset of “how much more can I make an animal suffer for the lulz, and can we take pliers to it first?”. Mostly, they are apathetic or unaware. (Disclosure: I have reduced meat a lot myself but am not entirely out yet and I keep giving myself B12 deficiency.)
I’d compare with much higher in the production chain, the people who devised and enforce inhumane practices.
But people are aware, they know meat is animals, they actively choose not to actually think about it and change their ways.
Even you who just said you know also admit you’re still eating meat.
Humans can easily thrive without meat or any other animal products, that means consuming it is purely preference, preferring to hurt animals because you like the taste of their corpses instead of just eating plants is fucked up.
btw. you should definitely be taking a B12 supplement, the animals you eat are fed the supplement so when you stop eating meat you need to take the supplement yourself.
I am taking supplements, but I need to figure my shit out because I fuck up either on the B12 or iron, each time. My first “bad” B12 deficiency came with some nerve issues and I do not want a repeat of that, it doesn’t entirely go away.
My goal is to entirely cut out meat, though. Right now, I don’t buy it for home food, but if I’m out with friends or coworkers, I’ll get whatever. It’s iterative, and as more alternatives become available in public places, I’ll get there.
That’s how I started too, and now I’m a die hard vegan :)
If your goal is in that direction, don’t get yourself down when you hit setbacks. I can thrive now, but when I was first beginning my journey I struggled a lot with eating out, especially abroad.
A setback doesn’t mean you can’t keep moving forward
Thank you! The encouragement sure helps
Congratulations to you on getting there ♥
Imagine being such an unbelievable dumbarse that you think mindless torture is the same as natural carnivorous dietary habits.
You’re calling someone an unbelievable dumbarse and then immediately using a logical fallacy, who’s the dumbarse here?
An appeal to nature is a pathetic defense. It’s natural to rape and murder too, but obviously we recognise that those are negative things that should be avoided. Why do you think needlessly killing an animal is any different?
You don’t need to rape or murder to live, you need food to survive, kinda two different things.
Food yes, animals products no
Humans can easily thrive with a plant based diet.

Downvoting me doesn’t make needless killing any less cruel.
Plants are living things too, right? So why is it ok to eat them but not animals? Are you saying we should not eat plants too, because it also harm a living thing and we should all just die?
How about any carnivorous animals (which surprise, we are partially) do they need to stop eating meat too?
You misunderstand the ethics of veganism. Vegans aim to reduce suffering. So far, science points to most animals being likely to suffer similarly to how we as humans suffer, since we share evolutionary history and similar biological systems.
Plants do not share these systems, nor have any evolutionary pressure to be able to suffer or feel pain, since they would not be able to do anything about it anyway
It’s not a blanket “living things are sacred”
Furthermore, if you really cared at all about the poor suffering plants, you’d know that the vast vast majority of plants grown by humans are fed inefficiently to animals. So, by going vegan, you’d be hugely reducing the number of plants you are causing harm to
Finally, carnivorous animals have literally nothing to do with veganism. Please stop trying to discredit a movement you don’t even understand
I mean we are a species have deficiencies without supplements if having a full vegan diet, how can you say we don’t need animal products when not using them causes our body problems?
Most farmed plants are used as animal feed, eating plants directly uses much less.
So even if this nonsense argument had any validity veganism would still be the answer.Humans have the capability to consider the consequences of our actions, other animals don’t.
Lions sometimes eat their kids, should it be okay for humans to do the same because lions do it?
For big slaughter houses etc it is the same. The animals there a tortured on a daily basis. I’m not saying all meat eaters are evil, there are small local farms where animals can live a good life. But the large scale industrial meat (and dairy) production is just this.
Unless the only reason you’re enjoying your beef is because you enjoy thinking about how the animal was suffering to produce it, the two are not the same.
I’m not saying the meat industry isn’t evil, but it’s not torture for the sake of torture. They just don’t give a shit and are only concerned about profits, which is messed up but not the same.
So it is better to kill, torture and abuse animals for profit than for fun?
In the meat industry, animal suffering is not the goal. The goal is to deliver as much product (food in this case) to the consumer as cheaply as possible. Animal suffering is a byproduct of this because on a large enough scale, both the consumer and the capitalists running the slaughterhouses are far enough removed from the animals that they don’t have to confront the moral questions of what they’re putting these animals through.
I agree that it’s still a disgusting practice, but it’s not the same thing as deliberately harming animals for your own amusement. In the meat industry, some people can hand-wave those moral concerns away by saying to themselves “at least the animals died for something good: to feed countless families”. Whether you agree with that reasoning or not (which, for the record, I do not), that same person can’t use that excuse in the case of these monkeys. It’s just pointless suffering for the amusement of a handful of psychopaths.
but it’s not the same thing as deliberately harming animals for your own amusement.
But it kinda is tho isn’t it?
Paying someone to kill animals because you like the taste of their corpses is basically harming animals for your own amusement.
Yes it’s not just taste, also “food” but food can also just be plants so that leaves just taste aka. pleasure aka. amusement.
Even small local farms are still needlessly killing animals for profit/taste
Humans aren’t “naturally carnivorous”
Well, that’s enough internet for today :(
Well that’s enough internet for today. Geeze. So glad these people are being tracked down so they can be brought to justice.

Yeah, perfect, solve inhumane crimes with… other inhumane crimes, to humans. Totally. Let’s totally bring back eugenics for “undesirables.”
Absolutely messed up. What is wrong with people?!?
What’s wrong with people is that sociopaths who crave money and power to do awful things like this tend to be very good at getting them, whereas people with compassion and kindness tend to be overly generous and want to see the good in others, so tend to give away too much money and power to those sociopaths, especially if those sociopaths are good at putting up a noble front.
Plus, vast segments of the human population are basically blind sheep that don’t think for themselves, and do whatever the media tells them to do. Only way to really solve this in the long term is by convincing people with morals to be more ambitious and to understand how to gain, then use money and power to influence society and the media. The dictator / oligarch types are very good at this (controlling money, power, and the media) whereas nice people who just want to help everyone are very poor at this.
Yeah, a good point I guess. It generally is the same type of person who is somewhat sociopathic who also happens to find themself in a position of power and wealth etc.
There are even people who adopt cats from rescuers and torture the cats
I didn’t need to hear this today :(. Brb, going to give my cats a hug.

No. That’s not how this works. You don’t get to put every non-vegetarian at the same level as these fuckers.
I eat meat, but I want the animals up until the moment of slaughter to live a good, stressfree life. And the slaughter itself to be immediate and painless. Not to have their fingers chopped off or them being tortured with screwdrivers, hammers and pliers.
You acknowledge here that animals feel pain and suffering and that you’d prefer not to cause pain and suffering to animals
If you have any sense you can see that you eating meat causes pain and suffering to animals, yet you continue to eat meat. Why do you decide to suffer this cognitive dissonance instead of just stopping causing suffering to innocents?

What. The. Fuck.
Of course they’re circulated on telegram and Facebook. With those flags behind him, I can just imagine his type of clientele. That’s incredibly disturbing and unfortunately doesn’t surprise me but I didn’t expect something like this. Seems like a movie plot level of villains but here we are in reality and this disturbing stuff.
Day ruined. This is sick
I heard about the baby monkey video phenomenon a few years ago, so hearing a few of these scumbags have actually been caught made my day.
There is still way too much adjacent material on youtube.
What the fuck?
I agree what the fuck
What the fuck
And that’s why I hate and despise people
My childhood of Sesame Street and Transformers and Dr. Suess didn’t prepare me adequately for the horrors of humanity.
But at least I didn’t become a monkey torturer. So there’s that.
I’d totally forgotten about this. Used to see posts about it on /x/ several years ago back when I still went there. Always wondered if it was just a couple sickos or what. Turns out it’s a whole bunch of sickos. Disgusting but sadly not that surprising.
Disgusting but sadly not that surprising.
I’m honestly shocked. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard of but it’s a truly horrifying thing that if never considered might exist.
