There has been a lot of Boogey man preaching about “Antifa”, which has been blamed for January 6 riots and violence and all manners of ills. No one is ever too quick to explain who they are exactly or what antifa means other than “doing things we don’t like.” Well this new article from the UK finally lays it out in the open.
I guess it makes sense.
We should all aspire to be more like these anti-fascist, eco-conscious little rodents
Hot dam! Why beavers are in for 2023
If 2022 was the year of the capybara, 2023 is set to be the year of the beaver. The ongoing beavernaissance has its roots back in 2017, when these precious semi-aquatic rodents were reintroduced to the UK in an operation known as “The Cornwall Beaver Project” (they originally went extinct in the UK in the 16th century after they were hunted for their fur, glands and meat – RIP). And since their reintroduction to the UK six years ago, beavers have well and truly come into their own.
As a result of their reintroduction, biodiversity in Cornwall has massively improved, with 13 new bird and mammal species spotted in the surrounding area. Researchers and wildlife recorders have said that this is largely thanks to the beavers slowing the river flow and creating a more hospitable habitat for other native animals, including dragonflies, amphibians, birds and fish. Testament to their indispensability, in 2022, they were given legal protection in England, making it illegal to kill or harm them. Most recently, following the success of the Cornwall project, two beavers named Chompy and Hazel were released onto Ewhurst Park in Hampshire.
FINALLY the mystery has being explained! Antifa means generating biodiversity and saving water! Fixing things that need fixing! Cooperating as a family! That makes perfect sense!
Petrel on the bonfire, that’s antifa for you! Going around creating something from nothing until you have a whole friggin ecosystem on your hands! No wonder farmers hate them!
Beavers even working hard to help Ukraine bolster its defences against Putin – anti-fascist queens! Apparently, they’re building dams at the Belarus border which keep the terrain ‘marshy and impassable’, making it nearly impossible for Russian forces to invade the Ukrainian region of Volyn. A spokesperson for the Volyn territorial defence, Serhiy Khominskyi, praised the beavers in an interview with Reuters. “When they build their dams normally people destroy them, but they didn’t this year because of the war, so now there is water everywhere,” he said.
Well sure. Wreaking havoc on tanks is what antifa does best! Are we surprised by this?
In the face of war and irreversible climate breakdown, this is admittedly a less important argument in praise of beavers, but I also think it’s worth reintroducing beavers across the rest of the country simply because they are sweet. Isn’t that reason enough? Just imagine walking by a river and seeing a beaver in the flesh, with its chubby little cheeks and rubbery little tail. I would cry with joy.
Beavers are sweet? First you tell us their antifa and then you expect us to believe they are sweet? Just what kind of game are you pulling here? Do you really think I’m that gullible?
