what makes it sad?
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoIn a Louis CK "Everything is amazing and nobody is happy" way. Because in a non-agrarian-utopian way, we've managed to eliminate food insecurity. I think completely. If we could actually move it all around properly, nobody need starve. People starve because food is ... inconveniently located. So I am an Okie. I got an orange every year in my Christmas stocking. Okay, so it's an orange. Only years later did it dawn on me - people didn't have oranges. My parents didn't have oranges. In my lifetime ( or perhaps theirs; don't get too detailed on me ) , this happened. The sheer mass of human activity behind that symbol is .. terrifying. Throwing it away... I don't know how that works. My uncles, granduncles all farmed. It like to killed 'em. Now, it's just ... button pushing. We have no idea what we came from and what is at stake. And that is what makes me sad.
