I subscribe to a channel called “Mr. Ballen” on Youtube where he basically narrates stories that are often horrific and relating to murder, rape, torture, etc.
But today he posted a video that was about a circus animal in the early 1900s that killed its handler, and was subsequently put down in a public fashion (hanged)… and people in the comments absolutely FLIPPED, and even got angry to the point that they say they “lost respect” for Mr. Ballen for not putting a “trigger warning” because animal abuse is apparently soooo much worse than everything else he’s posted about. Comments are also sprinkled with nihilism and “I hate people” as if people don’t treat animals WAY BETTER than any other animal treats themselves or other species.
Here are some examples of the outlandishly bleeding-heart comments
I’ve noticed this more and more in modern society, where people hate humanity but have an unhealthy obsession with both their pets and any other wild animals. These animals will never think, love, reflect, invent, talk back to you, and yet you value them over your own fellow man.
Is this a symptom of Clown World or am I looking too deeply into it??
One thing to also take note of is that in the story Mr. Ballen told, the general 1900s audience actually got mad at the ELEPHANT, and wanted it killed. Today, it’s the total opposite.
People getting upset at a public spectacle hanging of an animal instead of just putting it down is normal. The ones hanging it are just exploiting the animal for their own benefit.
What's clown world is demanding a "trigger warning" because they are so fragile they can't handle accidentally being exposed to anything they don't like. Downvote it and move on with your life.
