Why do they still hold on to the "exponential growth" excuse? The population is currently increasing, but not exponentially, and will eventually plateau in the next century. Granted, the world will be a hellscape if nothing changes in 100 years, but the majority of consumption occurs in industrialized countries with lower birthrates. I can almost guarantee that this r*dditor has a greater impact on the climate than a family of subsistence farmers in Bangladesh.

Fuck Monsanto. And yeah most "weeds" aside from the invasive species just mean plants that aren't very profitable. Whoever called Asclepias "milkweed" deserves the wall.

Clover is actually a legume, not a grass! They improve soil quality by nitrogen fixation, attract pollinators, and also happen to be edible. Clover lawns are revolutionary but grass monocultures are honestly an ecological abomination even though they can look pretty.

I'm too tired to respond coherently but how is there no middle ground? It seems to me like you're suggesting critical skepticism of minorities being sent away to vocational schools is the same thing as the libs parroting CNN and cheering for sanctions. I want imperialists to leave China alone but I guess you're right, I can't bring myself to trust them on how they handle their anti-terrorism campaigns. We can probably agree that its a helluva lot better than bombing the shit out of people though :amerikkka:

I was just joking about scary chemical names. Glutamate is an amino acid which are molecules that combine to form proteins in our cells. Because amino acids are good for us our tongue tells us it tastes yummy. Sodium also tastes good to us which makes monosodium glutamate delicious.

100% of people who consumed Dihydrogen Monoxide have died

But why defend the situation if we don't know what's happening? It's almost impossible to find the truth about what's actually happening but defending what could be cultural genocide/ assimilation isn't it. Also, the whole suspected terrorists being sent to boarding schools by the state just doesn't sit right. There are ways to push back against propaganda that don't involve defending oppressive policies.

:heart-sickle:

Good post. It's obviously not a holocaust or something and the numbers are not as high as 100 gorillion like Zenz claims but cultural genocide is still genocide. Klanada did something similar with the indigenous people by "re-educating" children in vocational schools. Nobody is denying that Canada did a cultural genocide there. I'll support China critically against imperialism and propaganda but defending their messed up shit won't get us anywhere. I understand pushing back against China in the west is bad, but I don't think we should uncritically accept whatever these schools are doing if it makes us sound like holocaust deniers.
