  • Yup. I used to to think that future generations would look at our car culture the way we look at slavery. Destroying the planet for profit, comfort and laziness. Then the battery revolution happened and if anything the laziness got even worse.

    Even vehicles that used to be prohibitive are now used more then the better option, like electric scooters, bicycles, etc. I see a lot more electric bicycles on the road now than proper ones. And most of them teenagers, so that’s not even the usual excuse of *it’s replacing a car " because they can’t drive, it just added more vehicles, just unlicensed ones.

    But it makes people feel good with hypocrisy to pretend that they are doing something good, without really making any effort or sacrifice, except spending more money and consuming more.

    It’s our idea of making a difference. Consuming.

    But I don’t know… Relying on other people take away a lot of the experience.

    I had to rely too every month on trips to buy food and I didn’t like at all that I couldn’t be self sufficient. But at least it was my money.

    Plus, the fear. Just going into town one a month was terrible. I can’t imagine him going to the camps 40 times a year. He mentions how much of a toll it took on him and I can imagine. But doing it that often? That’s a massive will to survive. I would give up. I can take what nature throws at me, but humans are unpredictable and dangerous. It would be just constant suffering and anxiety.

    That’s so cool. He did what I wanted to do. But mine only lasted 4 months before I was found.

    I can clearly understand his fear of attracting attention. And the pleasures of solitude…

    And I understand why he didn’t run again. Once you’re found, the dream is kind of shattered. The feeling of safety is gone… But his lasted a life time.

    The night when he went to a house where there was someone there must have traumatised him for weeks. Or it would have done that to me at least.

    I never thought of stealing. I don’t know if I could do that.


  • It’s not the reliability of the sources. It’s the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.

    China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?

    I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you’re being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.

    I don’t think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.
