Yeah. Just saw Cattle Decapitation on Saturday. One of the best nights of my life.

Yea he's awesome in the studio but live it's pretty terrible.. Yes I've seen them live.. And I love cattle decap.

Yeah no lol. Travis is probably the best live and studio vocalist in death metal history.

I just love this guy. I'm so glad that there's people like him in the world. Just face it, everybody: we're going down. And as Travis says, "we deserve everything that's coming".

I wouldn't equate a literal plague that killed 1/3 of the world's population to a literal flu with a 1% mortality rate.

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

Lol

[@relativ6192]

​@@clitoralrosary9474 It's not a "literal flu," but I do say "condolences" literally everyday to my friends with friends and loved ones dying from COVID-19. And yes, friends and acquaintances have died from it. I hate it when people downplay it, but of course it's not on the level of the plague. In many parts of the world where population densities are huge, where distancing and healthcare is shit, people will die more from it. Also, Delta variant.

One of the best vocalists, along with such a relevant band and theme during these times.

[@LAkingsLA90]

i remember opening for cattle at a little hole in the wall in Palmdale CA. Travis is beyond talented. he was the first vocalist that just blew everyone away. he was throwing change of pennies and etc into the crowd. The biggest thing i remember when he did his high pitches it felt like an airplane taking off over our heads. craziest live vocalist live, i have ever had the honor of opening up for, and seeing live.

[@haydenggallen]

Ahh that was a great interview, fuck yea I’m stoked for the new album!

[@Chris-Ian]

I'm so happy to hear him say he doesn't want to have kids. I'm so fed up with people who are against climate change, against brutality in general, be it against people or animals, against suffering and whatnot, and who still have like 5 kids. It's not even about us, dude, it's about the children themselves. What are they going to experience in life? Pain, and suffering, then die? For what exactly?

[@Chris-Ian]

​@selfatrophy Yes, and it's not about resources either. It's about the inevitability of suffering. Oh, and consent, if that's not enough. Can't force someone into being even if you sleep with your rose-coloured glasses and think everything is great. But people are bellends and they're going to continue that cycle of shit anyway. That makes me so saddened and infuriated at the same time.

[@Chris-Ian]

@selfatrophy I'm not saddened by the future extinction, but by the fact that people will continue to procreate and new victims will be born into this world. This is just bullshit, unasked for, and totally unnecessary. People always tell me I want humanity to go extinct - I don't. That's just the consequence. I want people to stop suffering. Oh and I want them to stop torturing other sentient beings as well. Nothing gives you any right over any animal. The more you see the more you realize this (existence) is some kind of a bad joke.

[@kubasniak]

I am also pessimist and anti natalist. This is why I love Cattle Decapitation in the first place because I relate to lyrics and even artists personal views.

[@Candyman9721]

🤣🤣 y’all sound like some edgy uneducated dipshits.I mean everything y’all just spit out was complete nonsense and I bet you have a high IQ 🤣🤣 what a bunch of lonely ass idiots.

[@relativ6192]

Although we really can't force people not to breed. It's their choice. Just do it responsibly. And also, it does have a lot to do with resources too. Having kids in poverty is of course going to be hard on everyone, and we have to fight the powers that be to ensure that it's a better world that the kids get to see in the future. Marxism has more merits than Malthusianism.

@@PorscheJon Near Term Extinction? Thats probably going to be man made? Sorry everybodu but therers still zero evidence of man made anything. And they never provide any. The so called climate experts. He called it a trash heap. America has done incredible things over the decades to reduce air pollution and water pollution.The way factories and industries get rid of waste. Car emission standards greatly improved. There used to be a thick layer of air pollution hanging over major cities up through the the 70s into the 80s. They called it smog. Its been gone since before you were born. Im jus sayin man, most all climate change alarmists like him dont really know anything, as we saw here. He didnt say anything other than make baseless claims.

[@PorscheJon]

@@bellmeisterful Okay. So you are one of those too far gone guys. All you have to do is go to NASA where they explain it is a 97% consensus between climate scientists that humans have caused our recent exponentially warming of our Earth. Unless you are a conspiracy theorist.

[@METALMAGGOT777]

I think Travis may be surprised to know how many young adults have already decided not to have children. Unfortunately, that trend seems limited to first world countries where information is easily accessible, like the good old US of A and several European nations. The people who choose to educate themselves are far outnumbered by apathetic breeders, so it would seem our efforts are too little, too late.

[@sumdesperatemusician]

Just like the movie Idiocracy.

[@6metal6forever6]

That is a good thing that young adults aren't having children. Theyre too self absorbed and mentally unstable to raise and care for another human being.

@Mors Gelida What's yikes about antinatalism?

[@PGraveDigger1]

@Mors Gelida Could you explain why being opposed to reproduction means you have no meaning in this world?

[@PGraveDigger1]

@Mors Gelida Why is reproducing the most natural and good thing humans can do? I also wonder what you think about infertile people. They cannot reproduce, they cannot do the thing that you say is the most natural and good thing to do. Does this also mean that infertile people have no meaning in this world? What about midwifes who don't want children themselves? Do they have no meaning in this world, even when their entire job is making sure that other women can give birth safely? P.S.: I never said I'm an antinatalist, I'm just interested in your opinions and reasoning about it.

[@PGraveDigger1]

@Mors Gelida Could you actually answer my questions? "If you ask people who can't they'll say that they wish they could reproduce" Where is your evidence that this is true?

[@PGraveDigger1]

@Mors Gelida I could say that normal people don't want kids, and people who can't reproduce don't wish they could. You wouldn't believe me if I said that, you would want to see evidence that what I'm saying is true. In that same way I don't believe you when you say "Normal people want kids, people who can't reproduce wish they could.", so I want to see evidence that what you're saying is true.
