What is this capitalism you speak of?

Capitalism is pretty cool. Big fan.

@TaLoN132 🙂

@TaLoN132 but tobacco makes great insecticide.

The subject is small as it was at the treeline of the property... but this makes great sausage, meatloaf and steaks!

When I was a kid, we lived in Athens, Greece... Apparently, there was a coup and a huge anti-American sentiment became temporarily prevalent. My Dad was on duty when it went down and the base locked down. Our Greek friends protected my 25yo mother, 6 yo me, and my 2 younger siblings and snuck us onto a ferry to Crete where we stayed in the countryside with their family. I remember riding the donkey to the well every day to fetch water and hanging scarecrows in the "vineyard".

@TaLoN132 sounds like the right way to live; simple and closer to nature.

capitalism where taxpayer money is used to fast track vaccines and bail out zombie companies? I might have to go re-read Adam Smith, as I must have missed something.

Actually sounds nice right now...

@TaLoN132 primary use: feeding family (deer, wild pigs, wild turkey, etc) - secondary use: protecting family from bodily harm.

Coyote howling outside right now

sometimes, they come right up to the porch and I have to a shot to scare them off

I figured you for a bowhunter given your affinity for your heritage...

There are plenty of things my tax money is spent on that I disagree with. Lotta bullshit tbh.

Only Barbarian's possess firearms.

However, I support capitalism. I subscribe to the idea that “hard work and dedication are the parents of possibility.” So, this framework aligns with that idea quite nicely.

Actually, I do have a bow as well as a crossbow and am proficient at knapping arrowheads.

well, there it is...

"I'll develop some disease and say I have to resign."

So, should one defend off an attack by a pack of coyote with their bare hands or let them kill you?

Supporter of capitalism ?
we need a Great Leap Forward.

We have some family friends who are bowhunters and they are impressive. Have to be as good at tracking as much as being proficient with the bow.

The Haudenosaunee went many centuries with peace with their Confederacy of Nations. The Confederacy is still intact today and is the longest surviving. To bad America has so much internal strife.

Tracking comes 2nd nature for me. My youngest brother came out years ago and I suggested we stalk a deer. I led the way and, about half an hour later, tracked one... long story short, we ate well that night.

He was impressed LOL

Befriend them.

I have 3 brothers, two older, one younger. Only I have chosen to follow our ancestors and live in nature. They all chose the city.

This?

“The Great Leap Forward of the People's Republic of China was an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party from 1958 to 1962. Chairman Mao Zedong launched the campaign to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into a communist society through the formation of people's communes.”

Befriending all wildlife leaves empty stomachs.

Give thanks for the animal giving its life. If you take care of nature, nature will take care of you. Never take what is not needed. On and on...

If you take a tree, plant two in its place.

Maybe something in between that and Uncle Joe's five year plan. Sounds delicious to me, and the only viable path forward.

“The Great Leap resulted in tens of millions of deaths,[1] with estimates ranging between 18 million and 45 million deaths,[2] making the Great Chinese Famine the largest in human history.”

I’m not convinced we need a Great Leap Forward. That seems like something Bill Gates would champion though.

That's a great ecosystem type of philosophy. That's how it is in wildlife, nature as well.

It's interesting... many are up in arms about needing to chase down every instance of fraud in order to be satisfied that the correct candidate won. Frankly... I am only concerned about massively widespread voter fraud. I am of the opinion that there are enough knuckleheads on both sides that most fraud when taken as a whole is a zero-sum game - with an equal number of misguided people on both sides willing to cheat just a little due to proximity/opportunity. I have a suspicion that all politicians probably know this to be true... I think someone forgot to tell Trump.

Make Siberia Great Again

Do you think that's where N America is probably heading. When in the future China sets up shop in N America

I would be happy if we manage to not regress any further...

Depends who’s steering the nation.

That's what I was afraid of.
