What you are doing is anthropomorphizing an animal’s behavior and ascribing intent behind the action without having any substantial basis for that claim.
Cats are intelligent, yes, but what you have described is completely devoid of any understanding of animal behavior or psychology.
Not even enough genetic diversity to constitute being called different “breeds”. Cats, dogs, and other animals that are stratified by “breeds” have enough genetic diversity to call for stratification with clear distinctions between each breed. For us humans, there are a few genetic markers that were adapted to their regional environments but the adaptations have no clear genetic delineations between the different “races”. There is a lot of overlapping after millennia of ancestral mixing.
You can tell a dog breed through genetic sequencing. You can’t tell someone’s race using it, though. We can tell our potential ancestry but there is way too much genetic overlap between the different “races” to tell the individual’s race via their genome alone.
It’s a lot more complex than this but I’m just speaking generally to get the point across.
US, UK, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Russia, China, etc… any and all nations which exert extensive global influence through economic, military, or political power.
Are you just ignorant of how the global north has, for the last centuries, been exploiting the global south? Are you ignorant of neocolonial economic dynamics that Nordic countries exploit to fuel their capitalist social democracy? Are you just ignorant of the fact many African nations still have to pay colonial taxes to France? Just because they stopped officially attributing the label of “empire” to themselves doesn’t mean they stopped being Imperialist nations. They still all heavily benefit from their colonial past, the only thing that changed was the labels and structures to be less direct so they can claim the benefit of the doubt.
As an anti-imperialist, I get that kind of rebuttal A LOT. People cannot stand it when you bring light that all empires of the modern day got to their heights by being the most politically and socially manipulative parasites this world has ever seen.
The world will never know true freedom while there are still people subjugated under imperialist powers. May all empires fall and people stop dividing themselves by arbitrary lines in the sand so we may recognize our common interests as humans.
Calling out hypocrisy is not the same as supporting the alternative. Two things can be wrong at the same time.
To put it in simple terms: Russian Imperial propaganda is bad but American Imperial neoliberal propaganda isn’t any better just because they are at odds.
The whole “stones thrown from glass houses” thing.
Me when I can’t tell the difference between anarchism and centrism.
Literally just copying Jim Crow era slogans now.
Pretty sure they said the same thing about the Nazis before they rose to power. They won’t unite willingly but they are also predisposed to subjugate themselves to a perceived higher authority and fall in line so long as they get to punch down the hierarchy at someone else.
Sure, their ideology at its core will always cannibalize itself by the functional need of an out-crowd for which to oppress. They simply believe the system will never turn on them because they are naive and stupid, believing themselves to be “one of the good ones” that the system will protect instead of harm. They naively believe that those who get harmed “deserve” it due to faults of the individual’s character and will never understand that the system doesn’t give a single shit about the individual character of the people who become victimized by it.
Oh man, RvB reference in the wild after all these years. Warms my heart.
