Capitalists when they fucking destroy nature and there's nothing left to pillage:
:shocked-pikachu:.
There's a very strong possibility at least some of the snow crab population went further north + west into colder parts of the bering sea owned by Russia / Canada.
most of the crabs could very much still be alive and actually just went further north / west into the colder parts of the bering sea owned by Russia and Canada.
Any crabs that did stick around were likely killed as bycatch by trawler fisheries chasing larger fish that have also moved further north due to climate change.
Americans literally climated changed themselves out of billions in crab murder money lol
:ooooooooooooooh: MY CRABS BEEN STOLED BY PUTLER
:sicko-crab: :putin-wink: :sicko-crab:
The TNO mod for HOI4 features America and Japan starting a nuclear holocaust over fishing rights to shrimp, funnily enough.
Unsurprised ghouls would lose it over which group or capitalists gets to pillage part of the earth.
:agony-shivering:
HOI4 sounds like it has tons of cool shit and modding community. I really wish it was my type of game, I like hearing about it, but for the life of me I can't get into those types of games. I use to play regular RTS games a lot but I've also lost interest in then.
Do you know of any good youtubers who do good HOI4 content? I'd probably watch some of that at least
TNO doesn't use the actual game mechanics much, depending on the nation you play. It's much more about reading the 9,000 text events, so you might still enjoy it.
if you wanna get into a paradox game and like dungeons and dragons I recommend looking into Anbennar because it's p. cool

You are rolling your eyes at that phrasing in a thread about the ecological collapse caused by viewing other animals as disposable. okay.
:vegan-liberation:
crabs literally do not even have a nervous system more complex than a simple ganglion so the take that it is "murder" is even more extreme than 99% of vegans' opinions, it is on the level of fucking Jains sweeping the path in front of them to not step on a bug. kill a roach? OMG MURDER. 🙄
the ecological collapse of an entire species of animal because of human greed feels like a form of murder to me.
there is also a big difference between a Jain sweeping the path in front of them and being against the mass trawling of industrial fishing fleets.
It's unfortunate your hatred of vegans seems to be greater than your care for the environment.
you can be against trawling and be against eating crabs without calling it fucking "murder" and trying to characterize the death of a fucking crab as equitable to the death of a human, but okay :shrug-outta-hecks: believe whatever weird shit you want
Why are you so bent out of shape over this? Fucking wierdo...
Be considerate, a heard of Alaskan snow crabs killed his entire family.

That's wonderful to hear you are against trawling and eating crabs. How do you feel those beliefs extend to the fishing industry as a whole?
I don't eat fish or any seafood shit tastes like ass
killing a fish still isn't murder
hate to break it to you but the oceans are gonna die anyway and then we're all dead too
It seems like you're fine with the industry you just personally don't like seafood. Fish are more advanced than humans give any credit for and even fishing where you throw them back, you're inflicting trauma on a creature and they do remember the pain and suffering of the hook.
Why is it not murder? The fish may not be able to conceptualize their own death and feel anything particular about it, but it is still the snuffing of a life. Animal liberation is an integral part of not only mitigating climate disaster, but something we should be advocating for as a species that is able to conceptualize death and empathize with other creatures.
Just because something bad is happening doesn't mean that we should simply throw our hands up and stop trying to advocate for a better world.

If you start from a framework that sees ecological systems (including animals and populations) as inherently valuable, and proceed from there, you'll probably end up making better environmental decisions than if you ask "how many neurons does it have?" and moving from there.
if you start from a framework of not using whatever words you vibe with and understand how incredibly fucking annoying and insulting it is to see things like "crab fishing" compared to "the holocaust" you'd probably make better propaganda decisions for your cause
Definitely. Radicals get more mileage talking like normal people. I still take issue to the way your comment devalued crabs.
devalue crabs
devalue actually sentient life
:same-picture:
Yeah, you just repeated your first comment that I objected to. You're pretty clearly not listening to me.
sapient*
but anyway I just assume these people are wreckers trying to make vegans look bad
Ganglion is kind of a misnomer when dealing with Arthropods, these are very complex structures and the Dorsal cluster is generally referred to as a brain.
There is some good evidence that the neuronal structures responsible for subjective experience (as opposed to sapience) is pretty basal and at least some Arthropods have it. Certainly my own experience keeping insects has shown they have individual likes and preferences.
I'm not vegan and I don't think overfishing of crabs is equivalent to killing "higher" vertebrates, but there does seem to be at least some moral value attached here.
Post hog
you first
I was gonna walk away from this shit but y'all sound real fucking eco fascist with this "killing a crab = killing a human" shit, fuck off
constructive post, comrade :deng-salute:
a human purposely ending another living creature’s life isn’t murder?
also crabs can absolutely feel pain
No it's not fucking murder, there are a dozen words for killing something and choosing the one word used for killing a fucking person doesn't mean it's appropriate for a crab because you feel it is. Stop talking to me.
Edit: I don't even eat crabs you fuck, disengage
hence why they said “crab murder”
:LIB:
How'd you even find this site
Imagine getting so worked up over your defense of treats
Oh my god will you people fuck off
"Defense of treats" I DON'T EVEN EAT CRAB AND SAYING IT ISN'T MURDER ISN'T THE DEFENSE OF EATING CRAB
FUCK OFF
DISENGAGE
Okay :lib-status:
also i’ve never seen someone so bent out of shape over simple semantics. your response to someone talking about the MURDER of crabs is to have a meltdown on the hexagon bear website over the usage of what word they used to describe that MURDER and be like “um akshually they barely have a nervous system :so-true: “ in order to defend your treats is extremely reactionary. and using phrases like “x isn’t __ just because you feel like it is” really invokes that facts over feelings type bs so i really can’t tell if you’re a wrecker or someone so deep into their own carnist beliefs that they’ll go ballistic and and whine and cry in order to defend said MURDER.
us humans share the world with other animals, we don’t rule them or dominate over them and aren’t “superior” to them. the premidated killing of another living creature is murder, simple as that. if i came to your home and murdered your pets (i feel like i should clarify i’m not this is a hypothetical) and planned it out before i executed it, and someone said “hey i’m sorry someone murdered your pets” would you really stop them and be like “um akshually it’s not murder :so-true: “ lmfao. and using the u.s. legal definition of murder is hilarious considering the u.s. legal definition of a black person used to be that of 3/5 a white person and the gop is working on changing the legal definition of a fetus to a person essentially, which is are extreme examples i know but cmon lmao not the best resource to draw from.
Crab don't even taste good
i don't disagree there's nothing from the ocean or rivers or lakes that I want to eat
seaweed?
Seaweed tastes great. Big fan of eating seaweed.
tastes like shit

what makes it worse is I stole it so you'd think it'd taste better right? nope, all it did was ruin my rice :deeper-sadness:
