Tldr?
The media made Trump by normalizing him and his fascist messaging, and now the fascist and his fascist friends will jail and/or kill us all. Sorry.

which is why hybrid grains were never the solution it capitalism claimed them to be.
Borlaugh *might* have started off with a good motive, but hubris and greed are the fuel that keeps only well-positioned white men 'on top' while the rest of us are crushed by #capitalism

Nothing in nature is fixed-- solid rock shifts with the heaves of the planet.
Borders are stupid, capitalism is unsustainable, change is constant and we need to remember.

If we take away the artificial support for capitalism, people in the various regions and communities can find ways to best live within the limits of our planet. People need to be free to relocate when conditions become untenable. This only happens if we eliminate the state and arbitrary borders. We don't have to grow nearly as much unhealthy but profitable 'foodstuff' when we aren't trying to make a profit off of selling it even if no one benefits from eating it as well as they would benefit from locally sustainable food.
We do our best to take care of each other, that's how we stay human.

Never trust a capitalist. They lie even to themselves *at best*
But they always lie to get more money. That's the job!

ffs. If we aren't doing capitalism, where do they get the growth they require to pay the mercenaries? Plenty of those hired guns would be farmers, firefighters or whatever if they hadn't been nabbed young and radicalized by the state.

i would much rather live in a world with random crime than live in a world with random crime plus state sponsored violence. Capitalism is the cause of so much violence that it can't help but change the dynamics of our social hierarchies and therefor get the bullseye off vulnerable people and let the wealthy put it on each other, defensively, for a while. Not ideal but better then our labor and shopping Paying both for the bombs that killed and maimed people and the 'aid' that pretends to aid the victims. The same people make money off of both of these 'state' processes, and you question why a person thinks it would be worth it to end that?

Because under the status quo our labor, savings, and expenditures make possible this violent thuggery. That is extremely damaging to one's psyche, creating the likelihood that one will end up participating in violence. Not doing things that help kill people is intrinsically better than doing things that help kill people.

and it doesn't even matter that this doesn't result in them being more skilled than their peers, it just gives them more names to drop that guarantee open doors regardless of skill

Why does capitalism work so hard to plant ideas in our heads? Could it be that it's because it's obvious that unless we go along with their grift in large numbers, it fails.
Used to be, you could sort of drop out
of society and capitalists just wrote you off as a loss.
Now they pursue you one way or another
As a prisoner or laborer or both. Renter. Mortgage payer. Shoppers by the gazillion!
We make capitalism happen.
We could do better, just by stopping. We are carrying the entire load on our collective shoulders, our efforts literally create billionaires!!
That tells me we could probably do unimaginably wonderful things with just a little effort in a different direction, and let the billionaires grease their own grift for a change.

Capitalism is just paper action. We are what gives it physicality. If we stop, it stops.
We create the value, and we could determine what's valuable if we would just step out
of capitalism and meet
each other as equal participants
and see what happens next.
If we are all in it together, we won't get othered to death.

Tesla did what it was intended to do: Pulled money from regular people as 'investors' and gave it to wealthy people. The eventual failure of a company is, to capitalists, like throwing away a used wrapper is to us. Except we at least *try* not to make a mess with it.

"Capitalism is killing the planet"
But what will you put in its place?
"A less dead planet, full of people trying to figure shit out is better than capitalism.'
"But how will you distribute goods to distant lands and produce profits for shareholders?"
'I don't want to do that.'
"Well, until you figure out an entire plan that satisfies capitalists as well as the planet, we'll keep doing this, because it's already here."
'But, it's killing people and the planet.'
"Yes, but what is your better plan?"
'Trying other things and stopping doing the one that's killing people and the planet?'
"That sounds too risky. How will we be sure to keep all the wealth and plastic things we have today? How will Australia ship beef to the UK and the UK ship beef to Australia, if we don't have capitalists arranging it for us?"
'Why are we shipping beef both ways when locals have food sources they could use sustainably if they didn't need to produce profits for capitalists?"
"Economy! Without economy how will people eat?!"
#CapitalismKills and we let it because we lack imagination?!

i chop and drop, but a keyhole sounds like a great addition, and an easy way to compost kitchen scraps!
