Suburbs are how they keep the land from blowing away when their unsustainable
agriculture processes stripped all the soil from the land and there's no
profitable reason to keep it in place. So they build houses and outsource the
land management to people who are forced by HOAs to have lawns.

They don't build toll roads to abstract taxes. They build them to keep track
of where you're going.

what if we taxed land not by charging money to keep it but rather by taking

honestly we should be building cities in the most boring locations, not the
most beautiful.
like below the crust.

the surface is a pleasuredome, why waste it on scrubland and turf?

what if instead of hulu we paid for a random house in a nice area with real

while they do goth girl things
then we did it 500 times until we ran out of goth girls

what's that? a bunch of houses burnt down in california? what if we built a
couple warehouses and stored all our trans girls in bunkbeds there, with rooms
for LAN parties and snuggle parties in rooms full of stuffed buddies plushies
with massive kitchens and sad ballpits where you can go to vent your feelings
by writing on a ball with a sharpie and then when someone else is feeling sad
they can come and read the balls and maybe feel something

post until you can't anymore
capitalism wants to drown your voice
do not let it
speak until you cannot speak
then go do some pushups
then find some friends
then pitch a tent in the park
then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there
you're just trying to do this as a social statement because someone on the
internet told you to
then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how
much funding the police get
then study law for 30 years because that's how long the government decided
your life was worth
by then you'll probably have figured out a better plan moving forward, so, use
that one instead

the government doesn't want you using solar panels because then the coal and
gas infrastructure won't be able to consume coal and gas, and everyone knows
that using resources as fast as possible is surely the best and most
productive use of our state's time
like, subsidies exist. they could just... make it cheaper, but instead they're
stuck doing... nothing of value

if someone on the street asked you, could you point to the nearest power
station? wastewater treatment plant? hell even a gas-station
if you live in a city, probably not. They put them in fake buildings with
hollowed out exteriors in order to keep the city looking nice.
these crucial pieces of infrastructure are important to defend. but if you
don't know which street to turn down, then you might miss them.

Do you ever ask yourself why we don't have mountaintop bazaars or expeditions
to the bottom of the oceans? Why we lack tree forest cities, how we're
struggling to find moss, sunlight, crystal, stone, and gold, all in the same
setting?
Capitalism makes it easy to think of profit as all that matters. It's not. Its
nothing of it. It's a metric like any other. Optimize it or not, struggle for
what you believe in.

Wikipedia would make a lot more sense to me if they included pictures next to
the names of every proper noun so that my pictorally oriented primate brain
might pattern match meaning onto the visual understandings gleaned from the
perceptual conceiving which were arrayed within and alongside the textual
information presented to me.
