I had a 17 year old barking like a dog a moment ago. “Why are you doing that?" "I don't know. I felt like a dog."

cities can be made to be greener and friendlier to pedestrians, cyclists, etc. this isn't a paradigm-shifting statement. the era of cities designed around roadways and the motor vehicle should be understood for what it is: a progress-trap and abomination that we indulged for a few decades whilst the fuel was cheap and went about our business with a lack of concern about such needling things as air quality and climate change.
Meanwhile literally all the food and energy you consume is provided by diesel and coal, and in a city is delivered long and grindingly slow distances by trucks.

i think you might want to think a little harder about the emissions profiles of suburbanites versus high-density urban populations.

you are not the moral exemplum here. suburbs are massively wasteful.

you have to drive to get any groceries, individually, from your little nuclear atomistic households. i don't know why you think it's a great sin that food has to be delivered into cities. food has to be delivered to your local out-of-town mart too, dipshit. you're not living on a commune nor pulling carrots and gourds out of your parents' yard. quit with that.

'long and grindingly slow distances', lol i am sure you know a lot about the korean supply chain.  never mind that half of gyeonggi province surrounding seoul is still working farm-land. nevermind that the entire country can be traversed by freight rail in about 3-5 hours. long and grindingly slow !

uber? the predatory capitalist app that undercuts local cabbies?

why do you hate poor people dauntless? why do you want to cause famines in africa?

Fuck cabbies too, why are they even still a thing?

My Uber drivers are almost exclusively from Africa (or somewhere like that).

According to my analytics I've spent almost 30k on Uber since 2016 so thanks to me they can feed their kids and grandmas.
You're welcome.

they had to move from africa to accept slave labour in london because your emissions ruined the crops on their ancestral homelands for 6 straight years running.

They had to move from Africa because Africans hate their fellow Africans so much they can't build a community and make progress.

what are you actually on about? this crackpot theory is far out even as far as victorian eugenics go. 'africans can't form communities'. lol. haven't you just spent the last 12 months fearmongering about BLM and black panthers? so people with black skin can form well-organized communities that strike fear into your heart when it suits you, i assume?

Wouldn't it be great if they built businesses, productive communities, planned for the future etc instead of rampaged around looting and burning?

Isn't this what has held them and Africa back?

so your argument is that africa, a continent that has been derailled by european colonialism for the last 200 years, is full of people who are 'genetically' incapable of building stable and prosperous states. lmao. hahahahahahaha

lmao it's almost as if people have been making these shitty pseudo-scientific arguments for 180 years now.

imagine thinking a societal pivot from widespread agriculture which started ca. 70-200 years ago has a 'genetic' basis. yeah, i don't think you understand evolution. homo sapiens hasn't diversified and formed separate species with different abilities in the timespan of the industrial revolution, retard.

I am not watching a 20 minute pop history video.

The Great Divergence has little to do with why black people in modern western societies underachieve. Agriculture in Africa doesn't explain why the black kids are more disruptive than all the others. I realize I have a bias in how I react to them compared to the kids of literally any other race but still. Every year I get some blacks with oppositional defiant disorder and it isn't because of wheat in Angola or something.

I think it was meant for Dilbert's consumption. This is stuff that you hopefully already know.

Skimmed through. Voice was a bit jarring/all over the place. Hard to describe why, but doesn't distract too much from the content.

i posted it for dilbert’s benefit as he’s obviously not interested in reading anything. would you guys prefer if i linked 3 academic monographs?

nobody claimed that african-american culture in new jersey was linked to angolan agriculture. only dilbert thinks that black skin therefore creates a universal type of human behaviour/intelligence. i was engaging with his own ridiculous cod-science when i yoked BLM and african nations together. i don’t think you can even compare african-american to british-african culture ffs.

But you don't understand, they're instinctually subsaharan farmers and that's why they get up to urban crime--oh

America was a slave-filled colony, so was Australia, look at them now.

How can this be explained?
