They couldn't handle the cute

The walk score is based specifically on how close businesses, groceries, transit stops and schools are to walk to.

Edit: you probably should have actually looked into it before assuming, because it is literally the opposite of what you said.

I recommend taking some time and reading about the enclosure of the commons, in which the newly burgeoning capitalist class took all of the common land on which people could farm, hunt, fish, forage, etc., and decided, unilaterally, that it was private property and belonged to them.

This locked humanity as a whole into a system whereby the entire natural world is owned by the wealthy few, and the rest of us are forced to sell our labour in order to afford food, a basic human right required to survive and which the vast majority are no longer able to acquire for ourselves without subjecting ourselves to wage labour exploitation.

This is not an "opt-in" system, it is a violently enforced, coercive and exploitative system in which we must participate or perish.

Subsistence removed from profit has been criminalised, meanwhile the globe produces 300% more food than is required for the world's population. Despite that, someone dies of starvation roughly every 4 seconds.

Why? because food is kept in warehouses or destroyed en masse to drive up its commodity price.

If you think that somehow this is a "natural" or "acceptable" way for humans to be, where people die so some wealthy few may have more wealth than they will ever need, then I feel deeply saddened by your lack of compassion and empathy.

That's right, because the suffragettes got the right to vote from polls, not protest!

Stonewall polls were a crucial part of gay rights!

Solid polls are always political indicators, that's why there was a massive series of polls to secure civil rights <3

Could you please tell me more about what you mean specifically by "globalists"

This drawing is super sick though, like, a fucking skull-headed lightbulb spider with a web of power lines??? Metal as hell

Yeah I get that, and what I'm saying is that it's a ridiculous consideration, and it feels like the epitome of performative moralism

So abusing animals is bad but literal child slaves is good?

Sorry but fuck that. That's peak white veganism.

If you care about animal abuse (and you obviously should) then child slave should also be a huge fucking no. There's nothing vegan about child slaves. If you think there is then that's disgusting.

And literally nothing nestle makes can possibly be free from animal abuse when they are destroying entire ecosystems. What kind of logic is that?

I'm not really sure I understand the point of "vegan" KitKat when Nestle is one of the most vile abusers of both humans and the ecosystem and the KitKat comes at the expense of literal child slavery.

"But because food is perishable and can’t be hoarded like oil and diamonds"

This is AgreeableLandscapes specifically saying that these resources are hoarded, not destroyed, but that food can't be hoarded, so to create artificial scarcity and drive prices up it is destroyed en masse instead.

The fact that this playbook was developed during the early days of the enclosures:

"In September 1565, in Antwerp, "while the poor were literally starving in the streets," a warehouse collapsed under the weight of the grain packed in it (Hackett Fischer 1996:88)."

Bands of wandering, starved workers staging raids on grain-sheds packed to bursting with food being hoarded for market speculation. Can't wait to relive the post-Black Death era next summer with you all <3

It is deeply depressing to know that there is enough food produced to feed the world at least three times over but that someone dies of hunger like every four seconds because they gotta keep those prices up.

With Indigenous agroforestry practices we could actually reduce agricultural exploitation, while simultaneously increasing soil richness, fixing more carbon and feeding the world.
