This, but OP, I think, pointed to the issue maybe without realizing it:

If you feel you are just a.cog in a capitalist machine and not a citizen of a country, why would you celebrate?

It feels like Fox news and all the wedge issues have done their work and destroyed our sense of collective citizenship. Now the GOP is doing their corporate owners' bidding.

Read my comment again slowly and maybe you will get that reading comprehension score back up.

Why .. why are y'all on that instance?

Seems like it would affect me, at least, a lot less if people stopped sharing their constant bullshit here.

And before you tell me to block y'all, don't worry, I will if this keeps showing up in /all for me. I am just giving you a heads up that whatever you are trying to accomplish, this is where you're at.

Yes, the one with 11M people. Not the tiny country in Europe.

You claimed that unless there are alternatives with no drawbacks that we are doomed to this in industrialized societies.

I disagree.

When the drawback of plastic is that it is toxic to our health, it seems like all sorts of things we used to use should be back on the table, just for starters, drawbacks and all.

Citation needed. Lots of Romans ate fast food. Y'all just trying to find every excuse to not change anything.

It is killing us. The evidene is mounting. Keep advocating for the status quo if you like, but it is insane to me.

Trust gamers to overreact and ruin things instead of being reasonable and finding a way forward that would benefit everyone, including the maintainers doing the thankless work of managing these distributions.

Just wanna pop in real quick and point out we didn't have plastic in the food production pipline at all for about 9,900 years out of the last 10,000-ish.

We absolutely could eliminate plastic if we had the will. Literally 99% of our history or more has been without plastic.

Honestly this is an impressively dumb timeline, isn't it? In a way?
