  • Honestly, you don’t have to do much to villainize some aspects of industrial farming. It’s mostly only possible due to the haber-bosch nitrogenation process, which was invented by the same guy who invented chemical warfare, and the process itself uses lots of petrochemicals and dumps a lot of nitrogen into the natural environment. That’s not even getting into the use of migrant workers, or the patenting of dna over some crops, and the food monopolies that exist in some countries.

    I also don’t think it’s a case of “there can be only one system”… And I don’t run into a lot of people saying that.

    For myself, this isn’t one of the more pressing issues in the world. I don’t really think people have enough land to be able to be self-sufficient, but gardening is a nice hobby.

    Food markets vary from nation to nation, and have political aspects I’m fairly disinterested in, so can’t really comment on that.

    Bye!


  • Assuming it used all the same tools and techniques, making only minor replacements of tractors for voluntary domestic labor … I don’t see why it couldn’t reach averages in a similar magnitude. Given them larger plots where they could use industrial tools and they should produce about the same on average.

    Eother way there attempts more self sufficiency are to be commended… So the I’m not sure of the point of the post really.

    If we had a socialist style of market economy like Vietnam we’d produce more crops.

    Also in a correctly valued economy we wouldn’t have to subsidize farming.









  • Curry is woke! Finally someone said it!

    … it’s because it’s foreign and makes my mouth feel burning. I don’t like it. I’m glad someone is finally standing up to this woke nonsense invading our culture!

    …holy shit, I was pretending but are these guys just afraid of being colonized? It’s like a projection of a fear of being on the other side of the historical fence, a subconscious history they can’t acknowledge so it comes out as a fear of foriegn things they don’t understand being in control of their “new world”


  • Philosophy? That’s specifically Abraxas from Gnostic Christianity, so more about theology than Philosophy.

    Abraxas (or Abracax) was an anguipede (a deity represented with snake feet) pagan God of “Asian theogonies” with a “rooster’s head, dragon’s feet and a whip in his hand”.

    “The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God’s name is Abraxas.”
