I got a ban from a group because there was a lot of horse posting. I basically commented that "hey there's a lot of evidence that horse riding causes permanent injuries", and "who here can actually afford this posh hobby". The admins were rich as fuck. Somehow rich people tend to have more time to do this shit. Anyhow, they said that I was being personally insulting because "posh hobby".

I was also kicked from a reddit-logo sub for reporting obvious Islamophobia. Fuck that place.

I got a two week ban from Facebook for anti-white racism. And I'm officially the whitest person on Hexbear.

Maybe I'm a lib or too damn civil, but I haven't yet been kicked from a site yet deeper-sadness

Hunting is just one of those distraction issues. No one in the developed world is gonna replace a significant amount of their calories by hunting, because it's far too expensive and difficult. Not to mention that there just isn't enough huntable food to replace even a faction of 1% of the world's meat consumption.

Every hunter guy I know talks a good story about how he (and it's always a he) filled up his freezer this one time with deer meat. But 99% of his meat is store bought, and he doesn't give a fuck that the hamburger he's now eating came from a slaughterhouse.

There's no ethical guy* that eats all his meat from hunting.

*Obviously I'm excluding indigenous people and people from the Global South.
