In 1941 they were putting people in ovens.

Now they are concerned about a tree feeling pain and having sex.

I wonder if this idiot will be proclaiming that trees are sentient while Abdul is lopping off his head....

When I read this, words fail...I just had to shake my head...
How do some people manage to exist????

Per Dante, some end up in Hell as "The Wood of Self-Murderers" (illust. by William Blake)

It is a postmodern return to animism, where in primitive societies people talk to trees and plants. His book should sell out in places like California with all the alienated postmodern types. A very shrewd form of hucksterism.

You beat me to it...guess some hippie can still make living riding on a fantasy author’s coat tails...(and, for the record, I’ve enjoyed reading Tolkien’s work more than once - but fantasy is all it is.)

Well - actually a large plurality of Germans are conservative and normal. They are just out numbered.

So we can’t eat animals, and now we can’t eat vegetables.

Animal, vegetable, mineral.

So, we are left with eating rocks.

Let me check.....

... no, that's out too.

Well pretty soon, Germany will start importing trees from all over the world, forcing groves of elms to be cut in half to make room for scrubs brush from North Africa and other parasitic plants from the middle east.

They also talk to each other, have sex, form friendships and feel physical pain, he told the Canadian documentary series “Intelligent Trees.”

We live in a wonderfully stable and prosperous society at the moment, guaranteed by the Pax Americana. Problems and contradictions are papered over by massive debt and printed money. That complacency and decadence also leads to a lot of nonsense and ridiculous and dangerous ideas that sprout and grow, which are not confronted because its just not worth the effort.

so... in leftist la la land... trees can feel pain... but unborn babies cant?

wow... just wow!

When a leftie hugs a tree without its consent is that a microagression or rape?

And if its a palm tree would that be date rape?

Do they bark? Exchange rings?

Animals eat plants and other animals. According to the left, humans are NOTHING BUT animals. Therefore humans eat plants and animals. This is known as nature. How things work.
Leftist is the denial of human nature.
