the admin of this channel cant believe this has to be said, but this channel will not promote isis/al-qaeda content (nor "japanese imperial army" content). admin agrees that it would be nice if the cow killing industry stopped existing, but not like that

also, while admin appreciates all comments and commentators here, knowing that they try to help, admin does not have enough spoons to reply. if you think you can contribute with more info/help, comment under the post, and be sure that others will read and potentially benefit from your comment. tagging suggestions will be appreciated as well, since the admin is not perfect and possibly has a deficient tagging on the posts
