I tapped Like... except for the second last one, thinking Spok-like 🤔: what about bearing an embryo? Or raising children? I do believe they require labour... selflessly. 🙏 (note I write in English, not North American,)

unpaid work. the meme probably means paid work. You can work at a soup kitchen, help people, and that is all work but unpaid.

It meant that human rights aren’t something that someone else has to pay for, like say welfare or health care. Other people via taxes pay for those, so no one has the ‘right’ to them, they are a privilege.

Yes. No one has the "right" to force labor out of others. That would be slavery.

Basic human rights include freedom of speech, freedom to own a gun, and the freedom to refuse any kind of medical treatment, such as an injection, without penalty. Those do not force labor out of anyone else.

If you get pregnant or have children, you yourself have made a choice to obligate yourself to take care of them while they need care. It's not that the children have the right to make you work, only that you have chosen to obligate yourself.

A news outlet reported 2 days ago, that millions of chickens had died from bird flu. I could not correct because I have no subscription. It is not the bird flu, it is the govt that kills the chickens with their faulty tests. Is there no vet to check if these birds are sick? I mean, a vet without a mask and without kickbacks...

and the use of the word “euthanized” is way off base.

Euthanasia (from Greek: εὐθανασία, lit. 'good death': εὖ, eu, 'well, good' + θάνατος, thanatos, 'death') is the practice of intentionally ending life to eliminate pain and suffering.

they’re committing mass murder to propagate fear.

It costs more to check every animal at a poultry farm, than it does killing the entire population, collect the insurance plus any subsidies for re-stocking a new population after having the locale sanitised.

And odds are the killed animals are turned into cat/dog food, and protein powder for human consumption.

I have a cautious optimism about all of this, but feel that it is all part of "their" dialectical pattern of creating endless chaos and division, to cause destruction and reap more power out of our suffering.

Why wouldn't you want to teach about the Tuskegee airmen? I really don't get how or why any kind of liberal or progressive or whatever could be upset with the story about them.

Maybe it's the same kind of idiot that don't want it in our history books how close to 5 000 Swedes, most of them career military who "resigned", and went to Finland to fight the mongrel hordes of Stalin back in the day.
