America’s Fascist Paramilitaries Are Rising

In a fascist shift, the state always forms paramilitary groups so that political violence can be carried out without the government being held accountable for it.

Anthropology Paper Shocked Primates Sometimes Do Things Regardless Of Evolutionary Optimization

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 11 hours ago
Gorilla teeth are large and high crested when compared to other great apes, believed to an adaptation to them spending a large amount of time chewing tough fibrous plant material - they have a vegetarian diet consisting almost exclusively of leafy vegetation and fruit. The high crests on their molar teeth are at risk of damage if they eat hard objects, such as nuts encased in a woody shell, but they do it anyway. And an anthropology paper seems surprised a primate might engage in behavior that is not a force of evolution. read more

It seems cowboys, or *gauchos* as they're known there, are still common in parts of Argentina, and they enjoy a rodeo as much as their American counterparts. Therefore, when vegan protesters tried to shut down a rodeo in that country, the *gauchos* were not amused - and showed it with whips and spurs! The next time moonbat protesters try to shut down a freeway or an Interstate highway in this country, I think we should hire those *gauchos* to deal with them - preferably broadcasting it live on TV for (almost) everyone's viewing pleasure!
