Ok I'll admit I misread the original post as "why aren't koalas bears?".
But yeah you're right this does actually answer the question in the OP.
Edit: nevermind I didn't misread. This doesn't answer the question of WHY koalas are not bears. Taxonomic classifications have logic and reason behind them. So a proper answer would be that bears are placental animals with a longer gestation period. Whereas marsupials have a shorter gestation period and keep their young in a pouch. I'm sure an actual zoologist could give an even more enlightening answer.
My problem is just that this shows no critical thinking skills at all.
The answer given here basically amounts to "they are classified differently because they're classified differently."
Human rights issues are not political. The attempt by the right to cast them as political serves to suppress discussion and progress by making the very act of discussing these things at all be seen as taboo. We can't let that happen.
That point aside, libre software is pretty much inherently political.
The Penn and Teller episode is what originally gave me this idea. Im not sure if this is really true and it's not hard to just do the bare minimum to recycle things correctly so I just do it. But I try not to let the idea of recycling justify over consumption or excessive waste.
Isn't recycling basically bullshit fed to us to make us feel more comfortable with over consumption and waste products?
From what I understand, very few things are actually recyclable in a profitable way and are thus not actually recycled but sent off to SEA to be "recycled" in their landfills instead of ours.
Hang out more in leftist/anarchist circles. Any community which supports trans rights very likely also supports the idea that males get sad and need help as much as any other gender.
I'm sorry to inform you that all dolphins are in fact whales.
