A bear wouldn't have made such a post in the first place. So already men is worse.

Bear - kills someone. Man - posts something. Man is worse. Is that what you're saying?

I never saw a bear do a mass shooting, or sentence someone to life in prison, or waterboard someone, or build an oil pipeline, or pass a tax cut for the rich. Men are way more powerful than bears, so they have to be better. Strength is for protecting the weak.

no. clearly no. bears are opportunist cowards. you can deal with them quite easily. yes, they're dangerous, but they're not ever actively problems.

i'm curious why you're judging the bear by the worst possible outcome rather than the most likely outcome and the man by this specific outcome.

The vast majority of bears have never hurt anyone.

So... Have the vast majority of men.

Men kill thousands of people every day. Bears don't.

I'd be concerned if they did, considering there's about a billion times less interaction between people and bears.

Edit: A billion times less is literally still understating the difference...

Lemmy really is just like reddit huh

Which bear has killed someone? Nowhere in the debate is an actual bear present.

And even if there was a bear, are you going to ignore all the killing men has done in the same time frame?
