Sltldr: “They’re just throwing away money, planting trees in the desert for them to die.”

The Great Green Wall is a top down, big government intervention that has little to no local buy-in and isn’t sustainable without continued big government funding.

Not surprisingly, the funding has mostly dried up, and so has the land.

    …Yes, I provided an alternative summary. Very good. I’m glad you recognized that I did that and explained it for the class, little one.

    I don’t know why you people (violently pejorative) get so angry when people don’t mindlessly reply in the exact same way that you do, but it is something you need to get over.

    You’re not on reddit anymore. American Neoliberalism isn’t welcome here, and soon will not be welcome anywhere on the planet after your Regime leader’s actions over the last few years. You need to get over your programming sooner, rather than later.

      Oh, yeah, I remember the time someone provided a summary of Tom Sawyer, and when I thought it was lacking, I gave an “alternative summary” which was a crappy, nakedly biased opinion of elements not even in the book and mostly focused on how Huckleberry Finn is a way better character in his book. That’s how summaries work.

        If you don’t understand direct on topic comparisons just say so.

        If there’s a story about how Hamburgers are an unpopular food that fails to satisfy hunger because McDonalds is failing, one would be correct in providing a summary of that story with the additional information that Burger King sales have increased in order to show the premise of the story is incorrect or incomplete.

        I know for a fact you lower class of the Amerisraeli empire learn this within the first few years of your education, in between pledges of allegiance and Israeli-written alternative history facts.

          Do I need to point you to an actual definition of a “summary”? I’ve been chalking it up to tankie bad-faith, but at this point, I’m wondering if it’s just aggressive tankie stupidity.

          “With the additional information?” Okay, I’m back to assuming bad-faith over illiteracy. Motherfucker, 1) that’s outside the boundaries of a summary, and more importantly 2) none of what you said is in the article. Like that’s not a summary. That’s not even an analysis. A “TL;DR” isn’t “here’s my shitty opinion on this topic not at all explored in the article.”

              Yes. Did you know that the word comes from the German Autismus, coined as an alternative to the term at the time “autoerotism”? Derives from Greek “autós + ismós” – “self-ism”.

                That does check out as you have been performing some autoeroticism while entirely missing the point and being up your own ass.

                I know comparisons and analogies are tough for you with your condition. I would look to observe non-neurodivergent conversation more before trying to enforce technicalities that not a single soul on the planet cares to do.

                I would also look into what the empire you are supporting does to people like you, and why being ‘one of the good ones’ does not ever work out.

      Alternative summary feels intentionally misleading, when it’s clear your intention was not to summarise but start a discussion on a related tangent (which is appreciated).
