Flexidisc on the kids version of National Geographic.
When I was a wee kid, this was the cover disc. It was awesome. Stayed with me ever since.
Today, I just got reminded of it by some dumb Star Trek.

This is a normal post "Fatalities are rare but not unknown."
Nothing about this intervention makes sense to me. Who or what was this bear being rescued from?

Even if this bear was going to die from getting shitfaced on mad honey, that would seem like a natural sequence of events to me. Why should its habitat be denied the resources that dead bears naturally provide?

Just let bears get as shitfaced as they want. We don't need to get involved.

This is a normal post Yeah it was a cub itself, so unlikely to be a parent.
Even if it was, why should humans intervene? The plant grows naturally, the bees grow naturally, the bear grows naturally. Everything was going fine until some humans decided there was a problem because... Reasons?

This is a normal post Calm down, the bear is going to be released into the wild
That honey is the product of human activity so it's not exactly a case of letting nature run its course. This is not unlike orphan elephants in Africa now being rescued due to drought. These days wildlife rarely exists in a pristine environment unaffected by human activities and sometimes it needs a helping hand

This is a normal post I mean, in fairness
The ADL would probably label farting on public transport in the presence of a member of the Israeli government to be an anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

There's no argument that people of Jewish descent make up a disproportionate number of the world' s ultra-rich. And these ultra rich arguably have significantly more individual influence over the world's economy than anybody else.
I don't think that being Jewish makes their motivations any more malicious than they would be if they were Taoist or Sikh. But I suppose people just jump to the conclusion that since rich=bad, then Jews representing a disproportionate number of wealthy people also means that Jews must also be disproportionately malevolent, or something.
