@tofugolem very powerful statement.

Her novel LIBERTIE is also very good. @bookstodon

@tofugolem It is interesting how the repression is cloaked under a vale of "we are doing it to help you" (and implying "because you are not capable of helping yourself")

@tip @tofugolem Rules prohibiting vandalism is not oppression. Hotheads that foment violence are oppressive. Public housing typically have a community garden space. People looking to legalize vandalism should move to Russia.

@Jessica
You can't feed poor people on mint, though, can you? How much nutritional value does mint even have?

@tofugolem @Jessica No but it's a form of local eco terrorism

@anubis2814 @Jessica
What? Is mint potentially harmful to certain ecosystems?

anubis2814 ,

@tofugolem @Jessica Only to grass lawns.

@anubis2814 @Jessica
Grass is the most useless crop in existence.

It started out as a way for nobles to flex on each other precisely because it is useless. It is so bizarre that so much effort goes into maintaining the damn things.

@tofugolem @Jessica If you really want to screw things up, plant some japanese knotweed, those fuckers are nearly impossible to get rid of.

That won't stop the growing of potatoes. You can do that atop the ground.

Not the point.

@tofugolem
So you object to work arounds, hm? That would be the point.

@ClaraListensprechen4
There would be no need for workarounds if people weren't deliberately making rules to make things harder for poor people.

You are arguing in favor of systemic oppression.

That would be missing the point, actually. Anger solves no problems. Solutions to problems solve problems. Hotheads be damned. Hotheads like Ikngrr, for example who sees dudes everywhere it looks, and then projects his ignorance in accusations against others.

@tofugolem

Anger is an energy that can be easily (and most often is) misdirected in destructive ways, but can also be channeled toward constructive change.
