  • No matter what anyone says, you’re worth more than your productivity. And “deserves” is a “spook,” as Stirner would say. Everyone deserves nothing and everything, it’s always a matter of perspective. Almost everything is, meaning either almost everything is irrelevant opinion, or opinions are relevant and we can/must decide which to have.


  • Almost all chewing gum contains plastic, and as such stands to be a big source of microplastics in your body (and the environment, especially when not disposed of “properly”).

    In the US, companies are allowed to list “gum base” in the ingredients when the “gum base” could mean anything - but it almost always means PVA (polyvinylacetate; a plasticizer).

    Some gum marketed to people who realize this uses chicle, as gum originally did, or some other non-plastic, but it needs to explicitly state this. “Gum base” = “not telling you” = undoubtedly chewing microplastics into your body.











  • Accept that you’re misinformed or deliberately misleading. There are no other options, sorry. “Family farms” are simply operators of big agriculture’s bidding, the latter having complete regulatory and market capture.

    “Only four corporations—ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Dreyfus—control more than 75 percent of the global grain trade. They overwhelmingly push commodity crops like corn and soy on local farmers at the expense of native crops.”

    “the vast majority of cows in the United States live on factory farms. Factory farms depend on cheap and unsustainable animal feed, such as corn and soy, to maximize profits at the expense of animal welfare.”

    “Factory farms now account for 72 percent of poultry production, 43 percent of egg production, and 55 percent of pork production worldwide.”
