Orcas NEVER attack vessels. However there is a pod currently ramming rich people yachts off the Azores in retaliation for yachts killing members of their pod. They have avoided fishing vessels, smaller commercial vessels, jet skis, and so on.

Wait, for real? I was feeling guilty for rooting for the orcas, but maybe not.

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, that is the situation this article is referring to.

Right now, those orcas are doing more about the rich-elite-yachter problem than the imperial core would ever; so... Nah, I'mma keep pulling for the killer whales.

"They are intelligent, emotionally complex creatures. But they are not us." Y'know what, Jakey-ol'-boy? You might be right-- orcas indeed are not us. They're better.

You would never catch an orca rooting for NATO.

Well you see I am not a speciesist, the question is are the Orca's part of the prolitarate, and I am starting to think yes

They are not workers per se. If we are to treat them as people they are not proletariat but displaced indigenous people that live off of the fruits of the sea. Most humans that are on the sea are people that profit from the destruction of the environment or actively destroying the ecosystems themselves working for capitalist institutions of fishing, dredging or dumping. I don't know if they have the know-how to identify human institutions, but they would be justified in waging war on capitalist humanity in human terms.

I wouldn’t say that people in the imperial core will never do anything about the yacht problem. It’ll just emerge naturally after everyone dies from clim- Oh.

Jacob Stern can die mad about it

Do we have any ways to turn shit like this into properly hangable posters? 'Cause I think I need one.

[–] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Right? I think you’d have to bring it to a printing place to get poster quality or maybe your local library has advanced printers for posters.

Who would have guessed the class war would have been lead by a bunch of whales...

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I mean I did have that on my Bingo Card.

Ever notice that cop cars are the same black and white as orcas?

Yet again the fascists must steal because they cannot create. Take it back, my monochrome comrades!

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

In Danish we call spækhuggere, which means blubber grabbers/thieves

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At what point did you stop rooting for boats?

This development has Posadist vibes
