when we say death to america we mean the imperial superstructure not a median full of pollinator plants

America is killing that part of itself already

Quick reminder

According to a meta-analysis of 16 studies, insect populations have declined by about 45% in just the last 40 years. The large-scale death of insects poses huge threats not only to the ecosystems they exist in but also to much of our agriculture.

Oh Brisby, my good man! Please fetch me the lawn billiards so that I may best that rapscallion Master Arnold at his own game.

And should he besmirch my honor I will shoot him in a duel, yes I shall. Why have a lawn if you don't make good use of it?

Yte people must have complained it made the road look messy.

Toledo’s deputy mayor told the 13 Action News I-TEAM earlier this week that the decision to mow it all, and mow it often, came because of the complaints about the native look -- as some found it unsightly.

as some found it unsightly.

Suburban brain motherfuckers. Carpet bomb unsightly suburbia.

How weird in the head do you have to be to not only find it unsightly, but to have it bother you so much you complain to the mayors office about it?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

How much of a fucking weirdo you have to be, in order to be Mayor and actually care about what some disgusting meemaw send via mail to you

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

I don't know about weird, it often feels like the systems exist to serve these people and only these people. I'd do this if it were like that for me.

The crucial difference here isn't "Why do people use a system designed to accomodate them" it's "Why is the system designed to accomodate these people"?

I'd be mayor and I'd tell them to kick rocks and then send every agency I have after them, but that's kind of precisely why I ain't

You could've just mowed the people who complained!

Many Americans, discontent with just trying to homogenize their own populace, have decided to homogenize everything around them

Words cannot express my hatred for lawn "culture" and the genocidal tendencies that propagate it
