This dude definitely has cerebral palsy. Wait until he finds out that high end organic produce is grown primarily by salt of the earth whites who have already been accused of being white supremacists by this troon's ilk.

Diversity is an objective advantage

But only if you leave the obvious failures - like the ones that think they're forest animals as depicted by Disney - to fend for themselves and either grow a brain cell or die trying. Putting the defects on a pedestal just normalizes defectiveness.

This is why they all want communism. They think it's their universal safety net and guarantor of their continued existence as valueless pieces of shit. All this furfag shit, all this transtrender shit, all this drag queen shit, etc., it's all a choice and an environment where they'd be free carry on is an ideal one. The reality is that under communism, they would grow that brain cell real fucking fast since the die trying bit would be either a trip to the gulag or a trip to the firing line. No space for useless stock. The current state of affairs is the absolute best they will ever get and it comes at everyone else's expense. So much for that line they like so much, "for the many, not the few."

I wonder what this person has to say about invasive plants and noxious weeds. Or the movement to prioritize the planting of plants native to a region over non-native ones.

Ignoring any potential subtext here entirely, invasive plants are a surprisingly huge ecological problem. This spring with everyone staying inside on lockdown will likely have led to the situation really flaring up this year in particular, as it's often only volunteer groups that are even attempting to keep the situation in check here in the uk. Some of the species that have invaded are outright dangerous, like some of the weeds on this list.

I came across a deeply fascinating youtube channel a year or so ago talking about native flora, funnily enough. Can't remember how on earth I stumbled across him, but it was a guy with a very pronounced accent basically rl shitposting about botany. He had a lot to say about how little of the modern landscape in (whatever area it was) actually contained native american plants, and he pointed out a whole bunch on the topic in a very entertaining way.

I'd recommend him, if you're at all interested in the topic (though I haven't watched any of his content for a long time myself).

Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn't

No doubt he would have words about me and my CivNat gardening ways, because I don't care where my plants come from as long as they perform the function I want them to perform.

Ant it probably shouldn't be too surprising that a lot of North American vegetation isn't native, considering the early American settlers were effectively trying to recreate Europe on the North American continent. And for plants where the climates weren't quite compatible (lawn grasses, for example, don't stay green throughout the summer without irrigation in most parts of the country) we ended up importing varieties from elsewhere.

I'm sure there is some sort of advantage in seeing your back yard as a pantry...

Well, to be fair proper heirloom produce (and livestock breeds) are fascinating and as foodstuffs, often have advantages in flavour or nutrition over modern mass produced varieties.

They don't sell any of that crap anywhere that I regularly shop, but if you're lucky enough to have that kind of thing in hand are are well off enough to justify the price, it's almost certainly worth trying out.

Throwing milkshakes at people however is against the law, and you should not do that. It's also a waste of food and creates a lot of mess that someone else is going to have to clean up, presumably.
