Time for 4chan to work their magic again

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I would’ve expected that they’re the ones who did this

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago (1 children)

4Chan is a mixed bag and rarely ever good, but they’ve absolutely fucked over scum who abuse animals like this multiple times in the past.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

The kiddie porn guys? Draw the line at animal abuse? Ironic

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

4chan has a history of hunting down animal abusers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nooooo, 4chan has a serious soft-spot for animals. They will absolutely find you and ruin your life if they think you're abusing them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

4chan isn't really a monolith.

Sure, they'll do the "we are anonymous" thing and track someone down, but they'll also share videos of animal torture for entertainment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

lol literally all you see on this cesspool of a site is animals being tortured and killed and people loving it. The 4chan you are talking about doesn't exist anymore, it is a pure fascist site full of people who are using the anonymity on there to share gore and generally be the worst version of themselves. It is NOT a mixed bag, it's a full on degenerate Nazi Network. Period.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's the way 4chan has always been. I stopped using it 20 years ago after seeing a gif of a German shepherd getting hit in the face with a shovel.

They don't track down these people because they love animals, they do it to ruin someone's life (for the lulz). It just so happens that in this cases like these ruining someone's life is beneficial to society.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I get the point, yeah but i think it is sad and a true shame that a community like this exists in the first place. Also it used to be a much funnier, smarter more creative place than nowadays or at leasts that's how i feel about it. it all went down the drain somehow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I feel like this is closer to kiwi farms schtick nowadays, what with them being very useful in tracking down the zoo sadists a couple years back.

Keep the reward; just give me the name and address of the perpetrators.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Seriously what monsters

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Once they find the person, I'm offering an open field in a fly over state and a barbed wire baseball bat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Thoroughly grease the inside of a dried up well, lower them into it, and give them a lighter to choose between starvation or immolation.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Jesus christ. 13 puppies. I can hardly begin to think of what punishment is fitting for someone who would do something so horrific.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

They should be disemboweled and left to burn on the side of the road.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

I DID NOT need to see this as I was scrolling through Lemmy this afternoon. What the fuck is wrong with people? I'd happily burn this person alive.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

My cat has kittens in her spot, I am going to go tell them how good they are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Funny how people would get really mad over 13 puppies burned by a few random people, but would completely ignore hundreds of millions of deaths caused by capitalism and the state and would just live like all of this is normal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Damn that's like Holofoil Charizard levels of whataboutism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So, what is the system that causes no deaths? Or an acceptable number of deaths?

Did you know Communism has over 100x more deaths per-capita from its citizens than Capitalism?

So, what is the system?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There never were a single real communistic country. USSR is fake communism, Cambodia is a joke, and others too. Socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality, so no, we never saw real communism. There is no zero death system, there is a system where people don't die because the only ones to afford quality food and water are rich (less then 1 percent of the planet)

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago

So, 110+ years of Communist countries. 145+ years of communist ideology since Marx and not one single example of a successful Communist country

Your argument does not hold water

Look at data, not fantasy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Google "Ventilation Shutdown".

It's probably because it's not in the news or they don't look cute and innocent. It's not straightforward to see or not really relatable. Though I don't want to discredit the action. Whoever burn those puppies should go to jail.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Jeff, you have several people, including me, outright calling for death in descriptive ways on your own post… yet you don’t moderate it. I can only guess it’s because you don’t disagree. But I find it pretty hypocritical that you only moderate people you disagree with, rather than enforcing the rules

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We generally only remove targeted threats. One comment in this comment section was removed because it had a name in it. Feel free to report anything else you see (weirdly enough, I haven’t processed any reports today. Maybe it’s timing and other mods handled them or maybe today was a low report day)
