 @textualdeviance @rbreich do you really think your great grandma had a washing machine or a laundromat? @CatDragon @rbreich My great grandma died after ruining her body with 9 kids because she didn't have access to birth control. Fetishizing low-tech eras without thinking about the enormous body counts those involve is ridiculous. @textualdeviance @rbreich fetishizing? @CatDragon @rbreich And people who live in urban areas and are working two jobs would have the time, energy and skills to do all this when, exactly? Your little cottagecore life works for you, and that's fine. But it's not how modern life works for millions of other people. @textualdeviance @rbreich not cottage core, been doing this my entire life, urban, suburban, and rural. Worked a good 50-60 hours a week and raised two kids. Is everyone able to do it? No. But if you can you should. Disposable everything is killing us. @CatDragon Do you vote for Democrats in every election? Because I guarantee you that a person who uses disposable diapers but votes every time is doing way more for the planet than a non-voter who thinks their homesteading skills make them morally superior. Individual actions don't have anywhere near the same impact on climate change that changes in public policy do. @textualdeviance I vote and attend every town meeting, even the reaaaally boring ones. @textualdeviance also WHY homesteading skills as a description ? |
@CatDragon @rbreich Millions of people don't have personal laundry machines and most commercial laundries don't allow diapers for sanitary reasons. And cloth diaper services are way too expensive for most people, too.
This is another one of those situations where we have to solve the economic problem before we can solve the environmental one.
