that grin tells me this guy is a character, and I be he is loved by all who know him
I love him and I don't even know him!
Would love to have a beer, or three, with this fine gentleman.
Get to know him well enough, I bet he breaks out some moonshine that'll put hair on your toenails!
The problem with a hat like this is that if I saw this person from a distance, I wouldn't look closely enough to read it.
The people it would trigger would though.
Trigger in this context is starting to gradually mean something else.
Lol yeah both sides would be. I say this as a proud leftist haha.
Yeah. It is why I hate all kinds of bait like this.
Ha ha. You are on edge because people actively want to murder you for not being a human and you judged me when actually I am a great guy. Ha ha. That'll teach you to judge a book by its cover!
Like... 80/20 this is very much a "I hate all the division and we should all get along" kind of asshole.
What an incredible amount of bullshit to make up about some guy.
I think its less for the type of person you’re describing and more for the otherside so that they may look foolish in assuming the person wearing the hat is on their side because they didnt read it. Its a little abstract
Even funnier. Now the genocidal bastards will feel real awkward when they don't get the cheers they expected!
Still a privileged dipshit
I think it's okay for someone to wear this hat to poke fun at assholes and don't really read it as ragebaiting as you seem to. What context to this hat am I missing that says otherwise?
Because for privileged people it is just "oh ha ha, that person is an asshole"
For a lot of folk? It is a sign that someone actively wants you dead or enslaved and doesn't care who knows it.
Or, in this case, it shows that they care so little about the actual victims that they think it is Ironic to wear a nazi uniform around so long as they flip the skulls upside down.
i think it'd work if you just make it big obvious text like TRANS RIGHTS, so it's hard not to read
These are farmers that i miss. The ones who dgf about the federal government and just want to be off the grid doing farm stuff.
It frustrates me that the independent, “keep to myself and don’t trust the government” personalities love gas/oil and not solar panels/batteries. Can’t remember a time we invented a war in the Middle East to steal their sunlight.
I’ve been in the Middle East recently and let me tell you - they are FAR ahead of the West in terms of solar and geothermal. They know what’s up (the end of oil and climate catastrophe) and they are moving to solar and geothermal FAST. Don’t get me wrong they are still car dependent, and they will still milk oil for everything it’s worth, but solar and geothermal (for cooling in their case) is everywhere on the Arabian peninsula. Just saying.
Makes sense. You don't get high off your own supply. Norway is all about electric vehicles, too.
Soon.
I hope to be an old crotchy man someday and when I am ill change that.
I'm working on it too. I'm part way there. (47 year old telecommuting engineer and off grid homesteader hoping to retire to do farm stuff full time as soon as I can)
Once our little fossil-fueled civilizational experiment comes to a halt, most of us will be, like it or not.
You apparently didn't hear about Renewables.
Isn’t it some form of renewables? Growing food with the sun.
Though I prefer to just water edible wild stuff occasionally instead of putting to much energy in growing it intentionally.
Have you ever tried growing... anything? Do you have any idea what that's like without chemical pesticides and fertilizers?
There's a reason agriculture used to occupy most of people's time.
I have gardened without gas, fertilizer or pesticides for years.
Fantastic. Now extrapolate that to supporting 8 billion people, with your kind of gardening and what it will mean for that civilization.
Do you support yourself 100% of the time with that gardening? Or is it a relaxing hobby?
I'm talking about how we got to 8 billion people. Here's a hint, it's not by gardening.
So you're telling me you never drive your car somewhere to buy seeds or tools? And they got to the store without trucks?
The clothes you wear to garden? You made them yourself? You have sheep? A spinning jenny?
The people working at the store to unload the trucks? They also eat food that came into being without gas, fertilizer, or pesticides?
Look, you've been gardening with gas, fertilizer, and pesticides all along. You just didn't see it.
That's my point. You can hug yourself and pat yourself on the back as much as you want, but without fossil fuels, you wouldn't have the lifestyle that lets you type away at a computer while your fridge is full of food from the supermarket...
We should have reserved fossil fuels for medicine, chemical, and other uses. Now we are screwed.
We have grown potatoes, and they did fine, until some stupid new moth made holes in like 2/3 of our potatoes.
We used fertilizer and pesticide pellets when planting. I don't know much, I was not the one doing the planning.
That's a complete mischaracterization. Intensive mono cropping is time and labor intensive because you have to factor in inevitable losses in crop yield (due to blight, pests, etc.) plus the labor costs of harvesting a single crop that all matures at once. The costs of soil nutrition are also exacerbated because monocropping extracts nutrients from the soil with very little return (there's a lot of hubbub about rotational cropping with clover and things like that, but it's not a long-term solution, especially when you're bleeding money for having a field go fallow)
Building up soil diversity is 100% about working with nature to build crop and soil diversity, and letting natural processes accumulate to produce optimal growing conditions. The issue is it's not very scaleable, and so grumpy Westerners and urbanites toss it aside because they don't want to actually grow the food, they just want to feel good about buying it
Yeah. The problem with capitalism is that if you're not willing to fuck things up for short-to-medium term benefit before moving onto the next thing, you'll go out of business to someone who is.
Yes, but without fossil fuel inputs humanity couldn't sustain 8 billion people, renewable energy or not.
My point is that humanity is heading into a foundational tree chipper. Don't you think we're already seeing signs of unraveling?
Of course humanity can survive on renewable energy, that's how we built the Pyramids, but those civilizations didn't have 8 billion people shopping on Aliexpress or spray cheese on nachos to watch the football game.
I also agree with you that it's unraveling. But that's why'd I'd rather try to adapt now and face the reality than pretend I can have Amazon Prime and not participate in killing life on Earth.
Oh, agree. But how many people do you think we can sustain your way globally in the coming decades? We are projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 by some estimates.
I'd argue we're already in overshoot as far as carrying capacity, if we're using current standards of living in the West as the baseline. In that sense, population decline is inevitable.
Its impossible for me to answer the question you're asking, but I posit this: at this point, what is the alternative? Can we keep affording to slow-walk actionable solutions to climate change? What are the wealthy nations of the world willing to sacrifice to sustain Earth's future as our home? How will we decide who and what to preserve, and who and what is worth losing?
I think your argument is sound if the goal is to sustain current living standards in developed nations
But perhaps we should be evaluating whether, if those living standards require such an oppressive system, it may be better for us in these wealthy nations to learn how to do without
Not easy, not even likely, but necessary if we want to have a planet for future generations
I guess most of historical civilizations heard of renewables. Why didn't they have intercontinental flights and chemical fertilizers with a population of 8 billion?
Do you honestly think we're going to wave a magic wand and pooff, same lifestyle but with sunshine?
What's coming in the next 50 years will make the 21st century so far look like a picnic in the park.
It actually makes sense to not notice them because they are off the grid in the true sense, no such person would announce their current statr on social media.
Don't they just want to keep it to themselves? That's what it'd look like
Good grandpa
I've got one that says ANTIFA
I'm not sure MAGAs are intelligent enough to know what it is
Even though the shirt doesn’t match, I first had to think of Mario
Kinda want one
