  • The bit about the farmers is true. I live in one of these areas and our animals graze lands that were abandoned by the original owners who emigrated to the city or to abroad. And the build-up of organic mass on abandoned farms gives a lot of food to wildfires that might otherwise be mild. The government has its part in this though by encouraging the planting of ‘match forests’ of pine and eucalyptus.

    The spraying bit, at least where I live, is complete bullshit. There’s laws in place that one has to clean their land, and they are still in place. The cleaning mostly happens with fossil fueled brush cutters. Municipal governments however love using Roundup at the side of the roads, it’s so nice and easy! Firebreaks by spraying is utter bullshit anyways - when you spray, the surface plants die off and leave plenty of organic matter to burn.

    Only in the first year. Be patient and stubborn and after a few years you will have learned enough about the needs of your plants to grow veggies more reliably and consistently.

    I still buy the ‘cheap crops’ - potatoes, carrots and onions because I’m still not growing enough of these. Everything else, including fresh aromatic herbs every day, comes out of my garden - at the moment it’s plenty of tomato and aubergine, cucumbers, courgette and green beans.


  • This is why I started using seed mixes. I throw a mix of different seeds on my garden beds. I get a diverse and more resilient plant community and can learn how to use the new climate change seasons to the best of my abilities. This is also the only way I manage growing carrots and beetroot that never wanted to grow when seeded separately.

    Usual mixes contain carrot, beetroot, dill, coriander, parsley, turnip, radish, linseed, sunflower, maize, cherry tomato. Plants like non-cherry-tomato and cabbages I tend to plant when somewhat grown.

    Disclaimer: can be problematic with some plants that want very specific seed depths, so use at your own discretion.

    Instead of this, can we talk about how AirBnB removed regulations around tourist accommodation everywhere and now people can’t pay rent? Hotels were regulated by governments for a reason. Taxis were regulated by governments for a reason. We opened the gates for anarcho-capitalism and let criminal leeches run away with the profits. Time to kick these criminal organizations out!


  • There is some point there but I think it’s more like this:

    Besides the sell-out of youth culture we’ve seen in older generations there has been a general (self-) infantilisation and also (self-) pathologisation (autism, ADHD) of younger (often left-ish) people in the last decades, noticeable in graphic design (kawaii, google business style) and memes. So bad that sometimes I think it’s a psy-op.

    A war has been waged against anarchism and there’s very few mature adult anarchists around who dare to call themselves that - and they might be correct in assuming that wearing anarchism like a badge can be dangerous.

    Wtf is that an AI image? I’ll post this comment (was too much work to delete) but then I’ll leave. I won’t write in a group that uses AI imagery, fuck off. Edit typo
