In virtue of my heretically archaic views about biology and the importance of women’s rights, I’m the target of quite a lot of rude online behaviour. The other day, for instance, I learnt I was lucky I hadn’t been hanged yet. So you might expect me to be emphatically in favour of attempts to remove what the Online Safety Bill calls “harmful communications” from the internet.

This isn’t the case. In fact, I think the Bill’s proposals on this kind of internet content are a dog’s dinner. If implemented, they will undoubtedly suppress desirable levels of freedom of expression on the internet, and cause more problems than they resolve.

If there’s one thing the lefties hate, it’s gays who vote wrong. They hate them even more than they do blacks who vote wrong.

regardless of the situation it has always been a good idea to produce an abundance of food locally. even hunter gatherers could have benefited from this avenue of approach when they made a circle back to where they started the year prior or what have you. With private property and all that this should have been the aim from the getgo. Damn im gonna be living in this area... might be a good idea to have some food nearby... dont have that much land... better have a food forest because mono-cropping wont provide me with enough sustenance... In furtherance i would also say that i better have more food than i need in case some ugly hungry mofos swing by for a meal. In order to do that id need to garden in a way that made it easy and less time consuming... hmm maybe ill plant anything and everything and let nature take its course.... kinda like a food JUNGLE!

>they've been a "pariah state" for decades. They should have reached some kind of equilibrium in their supply chain by now

They have. That's the marvel of Juche. They haven't had food shortages for almost two decades.

>Pony you simply aren't a credible interlocutor. If you think you "won" our debates it's only through sophistry, taking overly simplified views when it's convenient and shitting out "you just don't understand the full context of the situation!" otherwise.

But you don't understand. You didn't know the difference between the proletariat and the peasantry. You don't know what happened with regard to the kulaks. You don't know how sanctions work. You are too stupid to take part in any of these threads and you just ruin them.

>Trying to act like NK would have its shit together "if it only weren't for those damned western imperialists!" is just a bridge too far.

It has it's shit together and it has all in spite of being on a constant war footing, being under sanctions and having had all of it's infrastructure destroyed in the war.

The other thing that's sus is how it was handled in Europe. In America it wasn't much, it "supposedly" killed diesel cars except the problem is everyone else didn't fucking market theirs that were compliant, and then when the complaint modified TDIs were resold, the competition in terms of diesel cars was 1-2 new models that had to be special ordered and cost far more than $12k at a used car lot. Other diesels in America were big rigs/large pickups and most emission crackdowns from then on were targeted at corporations/fleets and "coal rollers". It didn't help that 30-50 cents a gallon more is a bad sticker shock to many in the "looking at a new car" phase. More just bought gas hybrids to begin with because nobody sold a diesel hybrid that wasn't a bus or big rig.

Europe on the other hand fucked over everyone who was told they were more fuel efficient and that they'd save money at the pump, and then only to get fucked with city bans, high taxes, and more new laws conveniently fucking over anyone who wanted to save money at the pump. Of course they also have more brainwashed people who don't yet know voting won't remove those fucking them over or who think it's a good thing. Or even better they fetishize 15 minute cities.

#Vegan Burger costs the same at the heavily subsidized cantine in the university as a bigger meat burger at the private shop next to it.

Meat is so heavily subsidized it is cheap af.

German agriculture either needs a extremely green or an extremely capitalistic revolution. Sadly the green party is just talk and no actions. Farmers currently only make a profit because it is subsidized.

The state could just give the money to poor people instead and let them buy food at its real price.

The current state just sucks.

( just personally holding your own line is probably good enough practise and a good start, no need join any organisation or think you can't stand up for yourself or others in the many ways possible )

It’s always weird when you can smell what laundry detergent somewhat uses and then you remember everyone else you met who uses the same one

This is so cute 🤍
