I'm not a huge fan of PETA, but I'm with them on this. It's kinda animal abuse to constantly dress up and dye colors for your own ego pleasure. There's a channel on youtube - they did this wall of transparent cellophane and they thought it was hilarious to have a group of cats keep running into it with their faces and not understand how to get through it. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I think that's 100% animal abuse and should be taken down by youtube.
Terrible Idea about the armor. Unless it's super lightweight. During an apocalypse, every ounce you carry has to be counted. Same thing applies to people who go hunting in the mountains or any rough terrain. They literally weigh energy bars and make everything perfectly efficient in their backpacks.
Every system that has ever existed favors one group of people, and everyone else loses. Whether you work at Taco Bell, you're a cop, you're a criminal, whatever it is. I mean, most of the universe is dead and designed to kill you instantly. You can spend your life virtue-signaling against the government, the cops, etc. Or you can realize that nothing is ever free or fair. And everyone lies about how innocent they are. This is precisely why I live a lowkey life, and I don't antagonize authority.
