The corporate media hard at work already. Clearly, it must be impossible that a person can be nice to their friends and colleagues while also destroying millions of lives.

In places where there are rules and order, and these things are valued, only important people are allowed to capture Sharpedo.

Even when captured, Sharpedo are treated with care, brought back to land, their fins cut and sold at a high price, and every part of the fish is eaten.

Even the bones are treated carefully, respectfully, and with love.

In such places, the lives of many Sharpedo are not lost unnecessarily, and valuable things are treated as valuable.

In the current capitalist world, which lacks rules and order, people on massive ships capture more Sharpedo than needed, cutting off their fins and throwing them back into the sea while still alive.

This way, they procure them in large quantities and sell them cheaply.

This is meritocracy.

What's wrong with the strong killing the weak?

The former represents many places and values in the Pokémon world.

In other words, they represent the excessive and extreme aspects of the real world.

"The administrators are correct: Their institutions do function in concert with the war machine powering Israel’s genocidal war; their mission does depend on maintaining this alliance, even at the cost of brutalizing their students; and it is this material reality, more than anything else, that explains the ferocity of their response to the Gaza solidarity encampments."
