Body camera shows as deputies were attempting to escort 82-year-old Anthony Goulding’s wife out of the home, Goulding began pouring gasoline on the carpet outside of a back bedroom.

Goulding’s right arm catches fire and then he throws a gas canister at the deputy. The flames grow larger.

Goulding passed away in the house fire, along with a dog.

That's the most fucked up part.

I’m at a point in my radicalization where I only care about the suffering of small children and animals.

Half the time I don't even care about the small children.

Humanity is a plague that desperately needs dealt with.

So what is your solution? Annihilation? I think it's blind to see humanity as doomed

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

My solution is unfeasible. Because humans are fallible primitive creatures who refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings.

My solution is that we all be fuckin better. We understand that it's us vs nature. That no amount of person on person conflict will ever elevate us further than our already pitiful existence.

HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL!

Sorry I can recognize that all of the worlds problems stem from humanities failures.

Outside of natural disasters like earthquakes/hurricanes/tornadoes name one ecological disaster that's not directly affected by human interference.
