Inasmuch as I disagree with XR, I disagree with this meme more.

Some nugget headed dude I lived near had a retaining pond that he never lined and it would just catastrophically burst and flood every single year. Just the dumbest shit.

Surely after the first couple of times... idk

I wonder what the culture is like in less industrialised countries. Still want to visit Cuba

He had water rights so he could just be indifferent to thousands of gallons running down the hill. It also was frustrating because besides the wasted water there were frogs and birds and bugs that lived in that pond and the idea of their whole life being ruined because dingus didn't want to buy some plastic bummed me out. Frogs are cool. I dealt with mosquitoes from that pond. Maybe try to keep our amphibian friends around so they can deal with the mosquitoes instead? Like I said, some dudes are just "at war with nature." Being more responsible would save money and resources but some of these farmers are just locked in their wasteful ways.

At some point or another if we want to have our current industrialised urbanised societies, food does have to be grown, but holy shit are farmers a reactionary block. Also, even if we do a soviet thing again, I would be against centralising farming to a huge extent because it introduces a bunch of vulnerabilities to food sovreignty (also, some projects would be rolled out very slowly, none of this replacing your entire agri-industry with a new thing that may or may not work). Unfortunately in WOrkers and Resources you don't really have any options for doing interesting agri-cycles.

I'm with you 100%. My experience says that we of course need farms but we shouldn't see farmers through rose tinted glasses.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
