That is the correct reading of it, yes. But I think at least most of the comments so far recognize this? And most of them so far seem to be in agreement with the artist of the cartoon that it is an absurd double standard, the only one that seems to be an obvious exception is the one who was shocked that it was getting upvotes. But I may be seeing a different set of comments than what you are because of how federation works, so like I am blissfully unaware of comments made by .world users for example.

Unironically, one possible point of confusion may be the label of “TV” which is a little old school, where a more general “media” or something might work better this day and age.

It is pretty ridiculous to paint Ukraine as being at a similar disadvantage against Russia as Palestine is against the entity since unlike the Palestinians, the nazi Ukrainians also have tanks and are backed by the combined economic efforts and technology of virtually all western governments, whereas those same western governments virtually all back the entity against Palestinians. So the above is a rather significant false parity.

I’m sure that’s what you mean by this being “bullshit” … right?

Well said. To add to that, as for domestication specifically, many aphids are litetally domesticated by ants. But we would never say that those aphids are not found in the wilderness.

Agriculture and domestication are practices undertaken by certain ant species and colonies. These ants use agricultural methods and are known as one of the few animal groups, along with Homo sapiens, to have achieved the level of eusociality necessary to practice agriculture. It is estimated that ants began this practice at least 50 million years ago. The domestication of plant, fungus, and animal species by ants is well documented.

Exactly this. Not only did it essentially wipe out entire populations and even drastically alter the course of civilizations (repeatedly), it has not “disappeared.” It is still endemic in mammalian (mostly rodent+flea) populations in some areas including in the US. Every year there are people who get infected with it. I think it’s an average of like 7 people per year in the US, but as usual, countries more heavily exploited by the US and its vassals get it worse. Hundreds of cases per year in DRC for example. It’s hasn’t “disappeared,” this antivaxxer nitwit just doesn’t know about it because modern medicine has made it treatable and precluded its ability to spread as it did in previous centuries.
