Jeremy Clarksonโs Farm show on Amazon is the most radicalizing piece of mainstream media Iโve ever seen
Just one example (bear with me):
Badgers became a protected species in Britain 40+ years ago.
The population has exploded and now frequently transmits tuberculosis to cows
But farmers canโt cull the badger population to protect their cattle because the government still considers them to be endangered
Instead of addressing the root cause, the UK has the most batshit testing regime for cattle
Thereโs no TB vaccine. So the cattle have to get tested. The vets administering the test have to measure welts on the cows neck. Whether a cow lives or dies comes down to a vet trying to discern 1mm on a caliper (reactive vs non reactive).
If a cow tests positive, the farm (already running on super thin margins) is quarantined and starts hemorrhaging money.
Jeremy Clarksonโs cow (pregnant with twins) has an inconclusive test so itโs separated from the herd. It receives a second inconclusive test so they have to kill it (before it can give birth to the twins).
Now hereโs the kicker: the autopsy reveals no sign of TB. It was a healthy cow needlessly killed
So - silver lining the farm should be removed from quarantine, right? WRONG - itโs still under quarantine and has to keep testing and canโt sell its beef
Kafkaesque doesnโt even begin to describe how fโd up it is for British farmers
@MoshiMoshiMoan Can't believe he'd abandon his son and the country his daddy gave him. What a tragic fall from grace that no one could have seen coming.
@FridgeMM@stromqx@eigenrobot I meant of the ones he was involved in.
Even then, outside of Revenge of the Sith, I don't think the ranking really matters when it comes to the non-original-trilogy.
@stromqx@eigenrobot Star Wars is a rare example of the studio saving a movie from its director.
It's not an accident that the ones he got creative control over were the worst.
@Druide07@A_Wil24@Javar_sr@lporiginalg I'm just saying it's not the unequal force that's the issue. It's that no reasonable person in Karmelo's situation would be fearing for his life to justify the stabbing. Look at Rittenhouse v SkaterBoi: lotta dummies said that wasn't defensible because of disproportionality.
@A_Wil24@Javar_sr@lporiginalg Equal force is irrelevant. Karmelo was not in danger, that's the key part. You don't get to stab someone in the chest because you were pushed.
