Crocodiles live in rivers and ocean. Most of Australia is a desert. Crocodiles are actually classified as a least concern. They don't have a problem with global warming, they're reptiles. They ruled the earth last time it was this hot.
Thylacines were too small to take down a kangaroo, and hunted alone. Thylacines were also extinct on the mainland when the white invaders arrived.
Australia doesn't really have megafauna predation on the same scale as the other continents, except for humans. Invasive species have been so harmful to Australia because the indigenous species over there just aren't as... competitive. They don't have bears, or wolves, or moosen, or elephants, or big cats. It's a chiller vibe. Rabbit plagues are such a problem because there are no large scale predators to deal with them like in europe and the americas. Australia's ecosystem has been very fragile for tens of thousands of years. And humans have been managing it to keep it in balance for just as long. If you're talking about the natural state of Australia, it's one managed by humans, passing down conservation methods through oral histories over millenia. You're underestimating the wisdom and importance of aboriginal australians.
In Afro-Eurasia, recorded history began around 5,000 years ago, with the rise of the written word in Egypt and Mesopotamia. In Australia, recorded history is ten times longer. Intentionally recorded, with the specific goal of preparing people for the future with lessons from the past.
The natural predators of kangaroos are parasites, and indigenous humans. Indigenous humans haven't been eradicated, but colonisation and capitalism have harmed their ability to engage in traditional practices that maintain the land.

I wanna start an argument about Kangatarianism - refusing to eat any meat but kangaroo
Yeah, bees are controversial, but let's talk about the vegans who actually eat meat
Aboriginal Australians have been hunting kangaroos for 60,000 years, and the kangaroos have adapted. Modern kangaroos tend to overpopulate and overgraze, destroying grasslands that are used as crucial habitats for threatened indigenous species. Kangaroos need to be culled to protect the environment.
All kangaroo meat comes from wild kangaroos. Hunting quotas are managed by the government based on aerial population surveys. When hunting quotas aren't met, the remaining kangaroos have to be culled, and their meat rots in ditches and mass graves instead of being eaten.
Come on vegans, let's get toxic. I wanna see some pro-kangatarian vegans being called murderers over this.
No, you're right, I was being paranoid. Everyone on Lemmy accepts otherkin, xenogenders, and neopronouns.
Drought resistant crops, heat resistant corals, and rot resistant bamboo, please.
I wonder if the Lemmy liberals are going to call you a transphobic troll for this comment

This post isn’t about a ban. It’s about the rules being selectively enforced. It’s about the ban Cowbee didn’t get.

Well we're not on .ml right now, so I'm fine with arguing

Your reputation provoked it. People know who you are.

Jumping to the conclusion that if I don't like you personally, I must hate all leftists. It was mean.

I know you by reputation. You act like this all the time. It doesn't matter if you're provoked. You do it because you know the mods won't punish you for it.

Is that not a bit hypocritical, when you claim to be upset at me for implying you aren’t a Leftist?
Sure it is. We're both hypocrites. We both know it's wrong to accuse fellow leftists of not being leftists, and we both did it anyway.
If you don’t want to call that being pro-Dem
I sure don't. America uses First Past The Post. The mathematics of the FPTP system are better represented by the idea of voting against than voting for. Voting for democrats doesn't support them, but it opposes Trump. Abstaining is a refusal to oppose Trump. Telling other people not to oppose Trump is supporting Trump. Telling other people to oppose Trump isn't supporting Democrats.
You've had this argument a million times and you never learned anything. That's why I think you're a troll and a sealion. Your intention is to waste other people's time. You like to argue. You like the challenge, the conflict, the thrill. The process is more enjoyable and more important to you than the end result. Changing your mind would take away your ability to engage in the same process, because then you wouldn't have the advantage of everyone you argue with being banned from .ml communities, giving you a symbolic victory and letting you feel proud that you're a good debater. You want to dominate your opponent from within the rules of the game. It's not about the future, it's about the game. It's a sport to you.

Okay, fair. I'm fine with having been banned. You should have been banned too.

If you don't want people to call you a Trump supporter, you should try not calling people liberals when they argue we should vote against Trump. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I'd be happy to have an argument without trolling, sealioning, and calling people liberals

I wasn't being pro-dem, and you should give other people the benefit of the doubt. Someone having a problem with your ML talking points doesn't mean they aren't a leftist. You and the other .ml regulars pull this shit constantly. I've seen y'all do it a hundred times. You are mean and exclusionary to anyone who disagrees with you about the election, and then you cry foul when it's done back to you, so clearly you know it's not nice behaviour.

I don't want to argue, but I do want to get the last word in, and I also want to explain that my reason for not arguing is that I know Cowbee by reputation and I refuse to be sealioned and trolled by him. I'd be very happy to say my piece without any sealioning and trolling, which is what I tried to make happen, but alas, once again he used the old "Why won't you talk to me :(", just like my ex does when she's been drinking.

I did? I can only see one post from my instance. Both from my profile and from the community. Might be a federation issue?
My comment was against instance rule 2. Which to me suggests an admin must have done the ban. I hate that the .ml admins just number rules and don't say whether they're community or instance rules. It's not transparent to the people who are banned, unless they put in a bunch of work to figure it out.
I intentionally broke rule 2, because .ml users do it all the fucking time. Cowbee does it in this screenshot. We're both accusing each other of not being leftists. He doesn't get punished for it. Why? Because he's an ML and I'm an anarchist. ML users always call anarchists liberals, and it's never dealt with. So I treat them the same way, and take my knocks for it. This post isn't about a ban. It's about the rules being selectively enforced. It's about the ban Cowbee didn't get.

What makes this worse is the obvious disrespect from Cowbee of my request to disengage. I made it very clear I didn't want to argue. These communities have absolutely no standards of behaviour for members of the in-group. Which is exactly why I don't engage with them in these communities.
Well, also the fact that I hate being constantly called a liberal for not repeating Capitalist Putin's latest botfarm talking point. Talking to these people is an exercise in keeping my calm while I am constantly insulted. No thank you.
