It is precisely in the same vein as Elon Musk's threat of sexual violence towards Taylor Swift.The point is the power to say outrageous, dangerous things with impunity.

@Sarahadapt Yes, that man is downright weird, with his dead bear carcasses dumped in Central Park and his brain worms.

@jaycee It's always deeply disheartening, isn't it, when people who have historically been oppressed turn around and oppress in turn when they have power to do so?

@jstatepost Astonishing, isn't it?

@MikeBon Yes — a lie that has now gone worldwide based on vapid hearsay that has no basis in reality.

@jodmentum It's disturbing how quickly many of us can be manipulated (or manipulate ourselves) into blaming some hapless scapegoat group for very real problems that are being inflicted on them by economic elites.

Yes. Exactly. It's a demonstration of power to make sycophantic supporters go along with obvious nonsense and lies. It's like a mafia or cult test of unquestioning loyalty. Whatever the dear leader says must by definition be true, no matter how absurd.

@jaycee No, to give up the struggle against inhumane behavior is to forfeit our own humanity. We can't do that to ourselves.

We have to be a little careful about saying 'humans wouldn't eat' dogs. The practice has greatly diminished due to global awareness, but there were groups of very human people throughout Asia who did raise dogs for food. Probably other places as well, but I don't know that for certain. And I don't know about cats as a source of food. People eat Guinea pigs, rabbits, horses... it's horrifying to me, but not to everyone...
