          I hate the “I saw wild animals doing it” argument. Not only is it constantly used to justify fascistic beliefs and actions it’s also so fucking dumb. What’s next? Giving a TED talk about how anthropology isn’t needed anymore because I stared at a tank full of fucking sea monkeys?

America will likely have a full scale war with at least half of Asian before 2050. America will prevent the world from making global solutions towards climate change. We need to understand as the left that all these things will happen BEFORE the left even rises from its death in 1991.
