      Aww man… I did not get that reference.

      Interesting comment. Interesting choice of comparison. Interesting lack of commentary on a similar post about Billie Eilish’s Grammy speech.

    We’re not savages

    savage ˈsavɪdʒ

    verb

    • (especially of a dog or wild animal) attack ferociously and maul.
    • subject to a vicious verbal attack; criticize brutally. adjective
    • (of an animal or force of nature) fierce, violent, and uncontrolled.
    • cruel and vicious; aggressively hostile. (of something bad or negative) very great; severe.

    Uh, Mr Bunny, America is indeed a savage land full of Savages. Not just savages, surely but sufficient to make this an uncivilized, savage land:

    The White House, The House of Representatives, Congress, the Supreme Court, The Dept of Justice, the Dept of War, Health, Education, half the state legislators, hundreds of global corporations the police, the alphabet soup of violent state actors and about 35% of the population at large. I’m sure I missed a few.

      I believe he was referring to hispanics being treated like feral animals by the fascist government.

      Not that your comment is incorrect, just that the context was misunderstood.

        Perhaps my comment was misunderstood. Latinos for Trump, Black and Hispanic Ice agents etc… Savages right across the board. The face eating leopards are morbidly obese.
