I've noticed that those two things often seem to go together, and I'm not surprised. The commonality is that neither children nor animals can be genuine partners, only victims of exploitation.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Yeah not surprising, he looks like a hamster getting microwaved
i didn't know he was a fan of 
! you're telling me this just now?
At least he can still work for the FBI
Maybe he already does 
sometimes it's the people you most suspect.
If you're thinking about hitting the spoiler button on posts in this thread, think again
some of them aren't even behind spoilers
Based on this comment I was expecting video, disappointed. Wanted to see some eels
Can I clarify that you're telling the world you wanted to watch bestiality porn
Why would you write this comment
😬
Bit of an off comment tbqh
Well, if nothing else, I can take comfort that if someone accuses me of having bestiality porn, no one would feel compelled to post: 
Monkey's Paw curling on my "weird how there was nothing about bestiality in The Epstein Files" take
In my opinion, the Epstein files only show the most vanilla of that class’s depravities.
People panic over them, not because of what’s in the reports; but questions arising from them.
The absence of bestiality and other common deviances are a big clue about how sanitized the reports and investigations are
100%
No way what's been released has all the names either
I'm not really an epstein files expert, but isnt there something about cannibalism or is that an exaggerated rumor?
It's an unsubstantiated claim by an unconnected rando, there's no reason to believe it. Every indication is that Epstein was very vanilla and only liked girls.
I’m not an expert, I read the posts only, and I remember something about that; but there are only a few mentions of murder.
Probably, Epstein was only one service provider, of many
Eels, though? Seems hard to sexualise but idk
You sweet innocent child
CW Discussion of Bestiality - very sick stuff
spoiler
The Eels are inserted into the vagina alive and then wiggle around

I was a young teen on 4chan and saw some things I probably shouldnt have seen ...(mostly gore.....lots of gore)
Feague:
feague (third-person singular simple present feagues, present participle feaguing, simple past and past participle feagued)
To increase the liveliness of a horse by inserting an irritant, such as a piece of peeled raw ginger or a live eel, in its anus.
Can you fucking humans NOT be weird around horses for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES?
That was an old fashioned type of fraud by horse salesmen, where they'd make a lethargic or sick horse seem more active and energetic to sell it for more money.
How else will Jimmy Jones in Bumfuck nowhere, Kansas get his dick wet?!?!? Have some mercy!! Lol
eh this smacks of being shitty towards the poor, rich fucks are also freaks too
Obviously, but I've only ever heard of such a 'thing' happening in the middle of nowhere, like the Midwest. Like Mr. hands, though that was in a small ass little town in Washington State. Regardless of even class, they're still the strangest most fucked up of weirdos; just that you can get away with it if you're anything bourgeois. Did not intend for it to be poor shaming or something
also said rich fucks are the ones with the wealth to own land for horses so this really is more their domain
Was... Was Mr. Hands bourgeois?

Gonna go log out now.
