    Yeah no for sure. That’s what I mean. None of what we do has a point. They sell us convenience with no value to us in terms of what we get from it because they immediately take it away from us as work. Everything is a scam and the only thing we get out of it is greenhouse gasses. Our lives need to get a little less convenient and we need to grow our own food so we’re no longer dependent on their chains of delivery for sustainance. We need communal self reliance to break free of their colonization of everyone by the multinational corporations, and to save the planet from annihilation. We must choose to do it for ourselves
