anarchy looks like that yard being paved over and 5 hobo’s crowding around a flaming barrel. Captialism is what this looks like since that garden is clearly a hobby.
Y’all’s interpretation of anarchy is not good in this thread. Has anybody read the theory!?
No, this is some middle class bullshit.
Either that is the ugliest home design or this is AI generated nonsense. Those buildings make no sense.
I’ve seen some shit in suburbia, so I’m not entirely sure here myself.
Now that you mention it
Not on the side of the road and then I’d be perfect.
Hey now - you’re great no matter where you are!
Tell me you are a politically illiterate “left”-lib without telling me you are a politically illiterate “left”-lib
I’m out of the loop, what’s a “left”-lib?
Someone who grows food for their neighbors I guess
Anyone I disagree with. Look, I drew them as the virgin and I am the Chad.
This is larp. If everything goes great with this little pretend garden and you spend full working days of couple of people for the whole season, you’ll get 15 moderate salads from it, tops. You’re not feeding shit with it.
That’s a hobby, not a praxis or whatever.dude I had more lettuce than I could possibly eat just from the volunteers in my 4x8 planter that I didn’t bother pulling out because I couldn’t reach the other side. beans and peas and tomatoes and asparagus and lettuce and cabbage and onions and chives and raspberries all have volume in the <100sqft I’ve given them all
yes, gardening at this scale is a hobby and won’t really save you money/time. but don’t pretend it can’t have a real impact on the source of your food.
if more people did this instead of have a manicured lawn, the rabbits in the neighbourhood would be eating good
Everyone knows real praxis isn’t leaving the house and making connections with real people on tangible projects. Gotta stay posting revolution memes and doom scrolling
Having a hobby is good, nobody is saying that. Pretending that your hobby is actually a community service is not. You’re not more or less of a people connector and community builder when you chat to your discord kittens from the basement than when you sit ass up picking weeds on your driveway cucumber patch.
Terminally online take
Nothing wrong with having a hobby. Selfgrown veggies taste much better than storebought anyway.
So, what do you eat when the union votes for a strike? Copies of Das Kapital?
You eat your five tomatoes that you’ve spend 10 months growing of course. Other people will eat food that they bought with strike funds they allocated prior to a strike. They could’ve told you about those but you were too busy growing tomatoes on your driveway.
Need short fence so that dogs don’t pee there
HOA says nah
Finally a good use of the “front yard”.
Front yards are for block parties but nowadays everyone just hates everyone so they go home and close the shades./jk
Back yards work well to for block parties
There’s something to the front yard that I’d never thought about. Yes back yard does work well too, but it feels more private and invite only. Whereas the front yard would feel more like an invitation for anyone to drop by. Like a neighbor from the next street over going for a walk. It seems like a more open social event that lets you get to know more people than the neighbors you’re already acquainted with.
Good points about the front yard vs back yard
Imagine living in america and having laws about your garden.
Buy a house not in a HOA. Problem solved. I grow stuff in my front yard every year
There are municipalities and counties that have classist lawn laws, too. In some places you either have to fight them and win or leave.
Right, I had a friend who had a cop show up to their house because… their grass was too long. Absolutely unhinged.
That didn’t come to mind. Where I’ve lived that’s never been a thing, the state even gave us tax credits to not have a lawn
Some places even make it illegal to collect rainwater. It’s ridiculous.
No state currently does. Very few have limits on the amount of catchment, the only one I know is Utah and the limit is 2500 gallons. Other states just say it can’t be used for potable water
I assume rainwater collection problems usually occur on the municipal or county level.
I have never heard of one. I lived in one for a while that actually encouraged rainwater collection because it helps keep stormwater systems from overflowing during storms.
You will all eat VERY VERY well for about 2 weeks out of the year.
Ya gotta pickle and dehydrate. Last time I had room for a garden I got the preservation and storage down in my last season.
Buy a dehydrator, never make jerky in it, you’ll never get the smell out. Works great for beans, onions and carrots.
There’s not much besides lettuce and tomatoes you can’t pickle out of a temperate zone type garden.
I was eating well well into winter.
I have a 12-tray Cabellas dehydrator and have made loads of jerky. I even bought a slicer.
I’ve pickeled, I’ve helped my mother can back in the day.
I love my neighbors, but fuck no, that’s WAY too much work.
At my last house I did hydroponic swiss shard. I’m thinking about cranking that up inside this winter.
I tried lettuce, but could never get it to harden off. as soon as I plucked the leaves they just went limp, it was like they were inflated by the water.
You will have 1 month where you struggle to consume way too much of one single vegetable every week and you will dread having to find different recipes to use ot all up.
Maybe that’s when to feed your neighbours.
Ours just gave us a load of tomatoes and aubergine. Lovely.
If we’d had more than 6 strawberries we’d probably have shared too lol.
Yeah our neighbours have ven bigger gardens so not really
Everyone in your neighbourhood has a bigger vegetable garden than you, and grows the same vegetables as you (if they were different vegetables, they might want those)?
Also they also harvest in the same two week window as you?
Because if it’s outside that window, then everyone can spread the love on their own harvest week.
Right now I have about 16 very large cucumbers. I don’t even like pickles that much.
My 15 yo daughter eats cucumbers like apples, she would mow through those 16 in one week.
I think you gave birth to a rabbit.
Do they stomp their feet too when angry?
Who? Daughters or rabbits? Nevermind, the answer is yes!
Disgusting! I hope to never live to see such horrific living conditions in MY America /S
Think you forgot that Madmax truck and some metal armoured raiders pillaging the garden and house until there’s nothing left. /jk
“Anarchy under the umbrella of a very authoritarian system.”
Arguably, “Socialism under the umbrella of a very authoritarian barely-socialist system.”
A scientist would tell you this is bad data. Arguably good propaganda, but bad science.
