TRIGGER FUCKING WARNING! Animal abuse.
The name actually makes these videos sound more innocuous than they are. While crushing a monkey to death would be terrible enough, the “clients” in this private online group wanted to watch monkeys tortured for hours. They complained when the monkeys died too quickly. They suggested dressing baby monkeys in diapers and yellow outfits, then feeding them with bottles in front of their parents—before brutally breaking bones, severing limbs, inflicting pain with fishhooks and pliers and skewers, burning wounds with lighters, gluing various bodily orifices closed, attacking them with snakes, and sexually abusing them.
What in the actual fuck. This is some of the most depraved shit I can imagine. Partway through the article, I just started skimming and then just noped out. These people suck.
I was pretty sickened by reading this, till I reached the part where the writer brought up the Telegram founder arrest, then it read like a manufacturing consent type piece.
It’s exactly this kind of stuff, which makes normal people feel sick and question the sanity of others, that was used to push things like the Patriot Act, the internet used to be filled with videos of ISIS etc. beheading people. Now I am wondering if the clients weren’t three letter agency operatives, but many real people are sickos too.
I don’t trust any writer who says, directly or indirectly, that we can trust the government unequivocally. People need encryption tools. The U.S. would not have been allowed to form if the British empire had mass surveillance like we do now.
Yeah, the immediate spam of anti-telegram news really rubs me the wrong way. Like, it’s a tool. It’s not corporate generated content, it’s user created content. The users are just gonna go somewhere else for their fucked up shit.
