How tf do you think we’ve been managing to grow crops in the massive amounts we have? Pure wishful thinking?

The real answer is industrial chemical production processes and an increase in understanding of a lot of things. Traditional farming using dung is sooo last century; It’s inefficient, significantly increases the risk of various pathogens and is hard to control leading to excess runoff and plant damage.

The reason more traditional methods are being resurrected is because those processes really benifit from scaling which all but gauranties monopolization leading to price gouging etc.

With love- You’re being a reactionary dumbass. It’s not about how delicious lamb/mutton is, it’s about how the same systems of exploitation and murder you’re defending here are actively turned against you and prevent any sort of “solarpunk” future.

Do you want to share those “eyebrow raising” numbers?

Best summary I can find stating the elections were “rigged” is the report from the Carter center which uses almost entirely qualitative data or hearsay arguments to support the claim and conveniently forgets to mention any of the surrounding context around US interventionism.

In contrast the argument for fair and open elections is well summarized in the report from the NLG delegation’s report which does a good job of providing quantitative data as well as useful context to support the conclusion it was fair.

Can you provide those quantitave arguments from these “third party left-wing governments”? Because I am having a hard time finding any of them…

Is the concern how you’re perceived socially or how you perceive yourself?

What would it take for you to be “trans enough”? Shaving? Clothes? Hormones? Surgery? Gene therapy?

Would you be this gatekeep-y to a random stranger? If not, why gatekeep yourself?

Is it fear of rejection? Of not being accepted for presenting as your authentic self?

Does the label not communicate what you want to express, or does the label have connotations that don’t align with your sense of self? Are those connotations commonly held, or are they negative stereotypes that you’re unconsciously distancing yourself from?

Do you need a positive label to communicate who you are, or does a negative label suffice (IE. “trans” vs. “not cis”)? Are labels a useful tool for you to describe yourself to others, or do you feel the need to conform to the label?

“Why don’t you want to compromise with the leopards? They don’t want to kill you, just let them lick your nose a bit. That would be cute, right!?”

Another important facet to that scam that isn’t been discussed too much: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1809859768388854139.html

I think you misunderstand that I’m talking exclusively about electoralism. It can be a useful tool, but it’s largely a scam.

I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.

Can you please not just roll over and die. I’m begging for you to put up an ounce of resistance now before you need to put up a gallon later.

“THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION” because you accept the options that you are given and try to convince others that they are acceptable options. They are not, stop deluding yourself.

People are “just going to fold over” because you keep telling them to! Stop doing the fascist’s work, there are always other options but the fewer people who understand that means that more force per person is required to apply the needed pressure to make those options a reality.

You’re arguing from the premise that fascism is the only option and anything else is “fantasy”. Is that what you really believe?

I was promised riots and unrest when Roe V Wade was overturned and there was crickets instead. What are you going to do in November after the democrats get Trump elected? Do before to prevent that current inevitability?

What would you rather have?

A non-fascist option. Abortion access, housing, not the world’s highest incarceration rate (which Jim Crow Joe is directly, but not solely, responsible for.) etc.

You’re arguing from a false premise.

Or the uniform might be saying something about the inherit relationship between cops and queers…

Now look at labor participation rate.

You mean far-right groups like Israeli officials = Zionists = genocidal terrorists?

And there’s only one species of wild cabbage, Brassica oleracea. Get out of here with that “broccoli”, “kale”, “cabbage” or “brussel sprouts” nonsense!

Also the definition of ‘gay’ and ‘gayest’ is poorly defined. This assumes that gay is some sort of scalar, where in reality it’s a projection from a multidimensional ‘queerspace’ that can change the appearance of the spectrum wildly depending on the methodology the one projecting uses.

Low voltage, high frequency: I thought I was safe 😭

The first of several coronavirus mass outbreaks (CMEs), described as plasma and magnetic field discharges from the sun, was later raised by the NOAA to be an “extreme” geomagnetic storm.

Lmao, talk about shitty journalism. You should probably look at getting better sources…

Except that’s not even how most bus systems work because most of them are majority funded by taxes with fares originally meant to serve as a stopgap but then slowly converted into a profit engine (usually after privitization). Fares are a way to gatekeep a service which your taxes already pay for, which I would argue, is by itself a form of theft.

As an example check out the latest MTA report only 26% of funding comes from fares, and that ones a bit in the higher end from what I’ve seen (NYC public transit, picked as the example a it’s recently been in the news for issues with fare evasion)

All that aside, it’s also worth noting that fare increases are extremely unpopular and it’s not that easy to increase them without potential serious backlash (ie the mass protests in Chile a few years back that were in part set off by the fare hikes.)

You could’ve made an argument that the “fuck” part of “fascist fuck” was name calling and uncalled for… But your doubling down on the “fascist” part isn’t “be(e)-ing nice”, it is using a bully pulpit to push your own views and opinions.
