i think this is generally a better article on whats happening in xinjiang because it brings up how basically every american source on it has ties to the us government, and how the united states is taking interest in right wing uygher separatists to weaken china, just like they did with al qaeda.

although it doesnt touch specifically on the prominent uygher activist rushan abbas who has had ties to the cia for decades. please look into everyone cited in any article about the genocide for things like this.

like uyghers are being oppressed and their culture is being erased little by little but the numbers are being completely made up and we just cannot know for certain, and you need to make sure you are not just spreading american propaganda.

numerous issues with “The Aftermath of Seaworld”

When I get time to do so (aka when I’m done with the documentary), I’m likely going to make a video version of this going into the details. 

But for right now, I’ve made this. Both as a guideline for me and so everyone can begin to get an idea of the severity of issues involved.

Researching things is time-consuming and can be very difficult - believe me, I know. But I’m of the mind that if you’re making content with the intent of educating people, you have a responsibility to perform a certain level of due diligence. It IS okay to express uncertainty or doubt if you have it. It is NOT okay to confidently assert things that you do not know with certainty.

The video has an anticap slant, and I’m obviously not disagreeing on that front. But again: if you’re gonna go through the trouble of teaching people something. Bare minimum... please make sure it’s actually correct. *** 1) x ‘founded in 1964 and based out of Florida’ -  ???? Seaworld definitively began on the west coast, in San Diego, CA. And given that the first park opened in early 1964… things came together before that. Uh? 2) x ‘four people founded Seaworld [...]’ For one… it wasn’t originally conceived as a restaurant, it was originally conceived as an underwater bar/lounge. Two… calling the four guys involved in founding the place “frat brothers” is fucking ridiculous and completely overlooks a) how each was actually involved and b) the overall significance of their contributions to the field as individuals. Hint: like it or not, they were important and did a lot! 

3) x If one is going to bring up SWBGCF/rescues while talking about the literal founding of SW, it gives the impression that it’s been around for that duration. It hasn’t.  It’s actually a bit unclear when SW started an organized rescue program, but the Fund itself and all that it did came about much later. The rescue information and how it’s presented is actually INCREDIBLY complex, nuanced, and has a fascinating history (from a “bad company behaving badly” perspective). Oversimplifying this, to this degree and in this misinformative way, does the facts of the situation an INCREDIBLE disservice.  

4) x [assertive statement about what the name Shamu means]  ….Uh actually there’s several explanations for the name Shamu, and the most likely one IMO seems to be the “she-namu” one, not the “friend of Namu” one(? What is this even based on.) 4b) It’s not quite clear if she’s saying “Namu was the first ever orca to be displayed and perform shows” or or Namu was the first to be displayed and, like Shamu, performed shows. Either way, Moby Doll was the first to truly be displayed to the public, not Namu.

5) x ‘Namu died after one year in captivity and you’d think that this might deter Seaworld from doing the same thing again…’ Seaworld truly had nothing to do with Namu. And they leased/took possession of Shamu before Namu died. ‘Again’? What?

6) x “Now, PETA paints a pretty disturbing picture…” [while showing Okura’s artwork] This video segment is, and this is putting it nicely, a pile of poorly-researched BULLSHIT.  -Yes, PETA talks about Shamu’s capture, re: the harpooning of her mother. This Youtuber cannot apparently be arsed to look more than 1 Google search into this, as she proceeds to dismiss the information as potentially fabricated. There are two detailed accounts of Shamu’s capture that I’m aware of - in books - and though they have some slight conflicts, it’s absolutely NOT in doubt that the female who was very likely Shamu’s mother was 1) harpooned, 2) died from her injuries and 3) this had been done to make her easier to catch/locate because there was a fucking buoy attached to the harpoon. Which she dragged around for at least 24 hours prior dying.  So maybe don’t dismiss that as PETA hysteria, maybe TRY to determine the truth of the matter, which would inform one that it is both true and completely horrifying.  -In addition, Okura is an awesome individual who has worked very hard to create a variety of informative artwork for our cause. Okura is NOT associated with PETA and it’s borderline libel in my eyes to use their artwork in this dismissive manner when the primary sources of it can be easily identified online, with full explanations and everything. Do I take special offense to this because of the misuse of artwork? Absolutely. Artists get disrespected enough online. I’m tired of it. This kind of laziness IS NOT acceptable.

7) x ‘timeline is fuzzy about when Shamu died’ …………… it’s…. It’s really not … newspapers are pretty clear about it…..

8) x [complete and utter oversimplification of the lifespan issue, which is not acceptable for anything published in 2020. It just isn’t. If you’re going to bring it up like this, either do the legwork and get into the weeds or stay out.] 8b) [same for reproductive ages. sigh]

9) x if we’re going to talk about when Cornell was involved with Seaworld it’s very important to specify when Cornell was involved with Seaworld and not make it seem like it’s present tense.

10) x “both were rescued by Seaworld” - uh? no. Zero orcas have been rescued by Seaworld. Literally none. The infected-jaw orca was Sandy, whose story is complex and certainly does not involve Seaworld until much later. And many of the orcas in that time period had bullet wounds, often only identified post-mortem because they didn’t seem to hurt the animals much. Also, unflinchingly blending 70s captivity ethics with modern ones is also complete nonsense? 

11) x [tilikum coming from sealand] inhales I am going to make an entire video centered on this fucking subject because it’s one of the single most profound arguments for Seaworld being garbage as assessed by US government agencies in the 90s yet everyone utterly fails to mention this. Why?!

12) x what on earth is this nonsense re: quoting a quote from Zimmerman’s article - which has already been removed from its original context, so the original context is not available - and then penalizing the quote for existing as if Zimmerman’s article were the context? That is offensively disingenuous. I honestly don’t know what the original context is, either - but it’s wildly inappropriate to act as if the Zimmerman article is.

13) x this is relatively minor but ‘Paul Sprong’? You literally have his name on the screen. And then mis-reading his age too? While asserting it from a static article published years ago? Effort? Where is it?

14) x ‘another trainer, Peter’ ….. Ken Peters…. 

15) [weirdly glossing over the widely-available list of orca-trainer injuries/aggressions, despite it being central to the point.] 16) x This pilot whale outrage certainly happened but it was pretty clearly Blackfish that started the cascade of woes for Seaworld. Who has ever asserted this?

17) if you’re gonna just rehash blackfish, tell people to go watch blackfish.

18) x I’ve already gone over the context issue with Seaworld calling out Howard’s statement in Blackfish here (point 23). Which is to say, IN CONTEXT in Blackfish it’s clear what Mr. Garrett is talking about but, divorced from that, it sounds incorrect. But this Youtuber AMPLIFIES the issue by doubling down on the assertion with “no record of a killer whale doing any harm to anyone in the wild.” The surfer event should always be mentioned. Yes, there’s absolutely room for doubt. But there’s also a clear demarcation between an accidental attack (eg mistaken identity, as was likely for the surfer) and intentional one (eg the incidents at marine parks.) Why do people kneecap themselves on this point 18b) please stop acting like Luna represents orcas in general.

19) x “Howard, for all of his research…” … while referring to David Duffus’ b-roll and statements. Uh. 20) x Apparently this Youtuber has single-handedly resolved the dorsal fin issue. You know, the thing that hasn’t been properly researched ever, that has been subject to a ton of debate, that isn’t 100% settled for a variety of reasons, and almost everyone talks about in terms of theories and likely possibilities.  21) x Alexis Martinez wasn’t “torn to shreds.” In a space where even moderate exaggerations are often penalized harshly by the opposition, this kind of blatant nonsense is not welcome. Plus, the reality’s bad enough… you don’t have to make anything up!

22) x *sighs. points at own webpage*

23) Talking about the shows stopping without acknowledging how that’s a bit of a farce is something else. In addition to apparently just flipping to buying what Seaworld’s selling re: its ‘improved image.’ 

*** Tl;dr video is so unrelentingly full of errors ranging from small to egregious it makes me seriously concerned for the veracity of the rest of this person’s content. The maker of the video provided a list of their sources in their video description, which I will have time to look through in detail later. The above is solely a response to the information they present IN THE VIDEO - which, is very important because let’s be real: a lot of people are not going to look at the list of sources. People don’t even do it when citing papers (no really, you’d be surprised, fml.) For anyone who wants to whinge that I haven’t linked or asserted any sources of my own for my claims… well, remember what I said about time-consuming and ‘I’m busy’? Yhea. Getting all of that together will be part of making a video. So if you want to shrug loudly at my list here… you can, that’s your prerogative, I’m happy to say I DGAF if that’s your takeaway. 

What I hope, is that if there’s anything I’ve made clear over the While of running this blog, it’s that I don’t fuck around when it comes to sources and information and do my best to provide what information exists, all of it, not just cherrypicked bits and bobs. Anyways. Here’s step 0 at least. Please don’t share that video. Pretty please.

Nurturing Somebody Which Possesses A Supremacy Complicated.

Before you speak with your tattoo performer, make sure you understand just what you are talking about. It is actually a paint from two people, that's this. In terms of premium through just how people were painted, you may not necessarily even call it excellent. If being actually real is actually thought about a virtue - what our company must aim to become in society - after that being actually ostentatious is actually considered a whitewash, a face-palm to your background. Delight in the clean and also uncommon visual appeals from Pretentious Activity and plunge totally into a metrical and also deep tale. The daffodil cut blooms could stand up to from 4 to 8 times, if they are actually very carefully gone to.

It attacked me the other day that there are visiting be actually a TON OF ostentatious, egoistic, living from dad's loan and also having 4 A after being assembly-line drove with some private school southerners at Uni. When it is actually becoming even more and even more an open key that individuals do not like to see advertisements (if they truly ever did!), and this at an opportunity. Along with the timeless meaning, the only method a style may be named ostentatious is if this's suggested to state something details about the wearer that remains in reality incorrect. Tell an individual that their rate of interest in speculative literature, avant-garde popular music, modernist style, or haute couture is pretentious (and just for the center training class) is to reject the probability that intellectual curiosity can easily equate into social range of motion. The accuser from pretension - normally presuming themselves to become the true package, in things from a taught and discerning thoughts - thinks that somewhere else around the world there is actually a genuine article that the ostentatious point or even individual aspires to be actually, but is actually disappointing or even exaggerating that. These are all incredibly apparent as well as weary opening strategies that the majority of smart customers know. This could function from time to time and gain you some conveniences, however generally it's a crazy, apparent video game and as we each recognize, that does not function! Yet cases to ordinariness and salt-of-the-earth quality are themselves pompous. I ended up being thus mesmerized around the world and all of physical violence that was actually associated with it that it type of reached a phase where I merely thought that that was actually the usual planet individuals stayed in. While this isn't essentially something you need to carry out, realizing that you may possess pissed people off or even agitated them is actually a good step. The scary that class transfer rouses in individuals is actually just about tribe, as if that is actually a disavowal of your family and friends. Few from the personal recognized players I come across check out a lot away from category fiction, many are inclined heavily towards STEM industries as well as lots of have actually certainly never been aware of tarkovsky as well as are quick to suppose that whatever film the candle light bit within this dumb activity originates from must be actually artistic wank that folks only pretend to just like. If the activity had one goal, one account, one ending, one reddish risk to observe, it would certainly remove the individuality of every gamers experience as well as worse, this would certainly say to those that have not totally know the game or even misinterpreted it, that their opinions are wrong as well as they instead need to feel exactly what the hivemind and/or developer have actually created it to mean. We have had some great individual record purchases due to Nolan Johnson, yet our team fizzled on our percentage because a few people around below may not be having their sales really seriously. They seem to scuff some metaphysical adventure" coming from this artistic manure totally due to because people have the humility to think that this is deep" and also practical even if they don't understand this. Given that there is nothing at all to recognize, and also that is actually. It turned out that a few of these people could possess clothed in a different way to me and perhaps led an other lifestyle to me but they were actually therefore attractive as well as fun! What shows up is an absorbing story said to in a style that's vintage without being dated, certainly never ostentatious however affluent. What certainly shows up is actually a soaking up story informed in a style that's heirloom without being dated, wealthy however certainly never pompous. Lots of males locate sexy Eastern girls eye-catching nonetheless Eastern ladies can easily typically feel intimidated or even daunted by males coming from other lifestyles and consequently could find as pretentious or even seem 'stuck up'. When David Bowie dressed like an intergalactic peacock as Ziggy Stardust (visualized), a lot of assumed he was beyond pompous. Gout pain is a tremendously painful form of arthritis - so distressing that most individuals can easily certainly not birth the body weight of a feather on the tender junction. The 4th activity in the collection focuses on the domestic partnership in between Magenta's child and child. From certainly there, folks may either read all of them or even really use all of them in their internet publications. This is one of the most significant video game considering that the starting point of when you began reviewing this. At times Wendy felt like chatting in the middle of the night as well as would certainly phone her buddy, Phillip, at 2 a.m. This habits appeared rude as well as intrusive to him, however when he aimed to speak to her about the problem, she was hard to disturb and also really did not seem to be to become listening. People need to not to mention putting on manner that examine blood flow and also those that scratch the pompous place. In the event you adored this information in addition to you desire to acquire more info relating to mountains in wales map - http://elsoldelasalud.es/, generously visit our own webpage. I should likewise point out that although the first book could appear to glorify just what happened, you truly need to check out all three books to see that this carries out certainly not painting a delighted photo and also reveals why people shouldn't take the road that I took. There the word is actually as considerably a basic synonym of what is actually unknown as for exactly what is actually inaccurate. There are actually plenty of various other terms for folks along with questionable flavor that I ask yourself why we emphasize smearing up a perfectly praise along with all form of additional nuances. I don't have a disagreement for The Ruby Sutra make use of or shipping, I only adore it a whole lot, you can easily never ever understand what is actually mosting likely to reach your heartstrings, some movies are actually hrs of uncooked unhappiness and never wring a solitary tear from me, the end of this particular problem game did and that's all I could say. Our experts possess possessed some wonderful personal report purchases with the help of Nolan Smith, but our experts missed the mark on our allocation because a few folks around right here aren't taking their sales quite seriously. They seem to be to scuff some spiritual expertise" coming from this artsy manure completely as a result of that people possess the humbleness to assume that this is strong" and also practical just because they don't recognize that. Which is actually because there is actually nothing to recognize. Without the permissions that offers - the permit to attempt brand-new adventures, to try out tips, to view if you intend to reside your lifestyle another technique - people off all kinds of backgrounds are going to not be actually left open to distinction, to originalities or the pasts of their decided on industry. It is actually not something millions of individuals perform when they get out of bed in the morning, as well as like you pointed out, along with photos they can be done in different methods to have different colours as well as illumination. And that is coming from this tangle of emotions and concepts around standing that the outrage of pretentiousness attracts its own complete fee. He had not been in all pompous; very the other, he was therefore sensible that I felt like I was actually talking to an aged close friend. When I point out creating, folks think about magazines, newspapers, as well as books and that their possibilities from receiving released are actually slim. The fifth activity uncovers that Magenta got ill, although this is actually still unfamiliar exactly what her health problem was actually. Individuals scrabbling up the training class ladder are frequently called being actually ostentatious.
