    Americans are like these pigs but free-range and given useless shit to provide them entertainment while they work their lives to make the controllers of the world wealthy and fight their wars.

    Nature is dead. God is dead. Freedom is dead. Humanity is something unnatural.

      Maybe this is fitting for your analogy, but it’s worth noting that that free range doesn’t actually mean free-range in most countries

      Bringing up a Tyson competitor, the farm manager wonders how other poultry companies handle supposedly free-range-raised chickens. The short answer: They don’t, really.

      “Those birds don’t go outside — you know that,” the technician replies. “They don’t all go out … Look that up online.”

      The manager chimes in: “It’s not like they make it like all of ’em come out and enjoy the sun.”

      “That is strictly for commercial [advertising] purposes,” the technician says.

      […]

      In 2017, the Intercept reported an investigation into a dozen California farms owned by a free-range chicken company that found no evidence of any animals spending any time outdoors. The chief animal care officer for Perdue Farms, a major chicken producer, has even said the vast majority of its free-range chickens stay indoors.
