Can’t have biodiversity when you’re packing people to live in these rabbit hutchesbig cities ‘to save the planet’ as they say.
You need that factory farmed samey shit because without it you wouldn’t have the ability to feed the people living in these sad places.
You know who enjoys biodiversity? People who have access to their own garden to grow stuff :3 (capitalists hate this trick)

So unbelievably wrong. And don’t get me wrong I fully admire real rural farmers, the ones who make our food.
Fake rural/suburbanites though are horrible for our planet and ecosystem. I’m from the Midwest where we have perfect soil for growing. What do they do? Pave over it, create stripmalls, big box stores, single family homes, every step of the way ruining the soil and area so we can’t farm there again for hundreds of years. Meanwhile runoff from pavement and parking lots pollutes that soil, they plant non-natural lawns that take more water and ruin biodiversity. None of that adds to our food or biodiversity, it may make them feel like they are, but it is quite literally doing the opposite.
You want to be mad at city people? The people who are happy to have apartments who build up rather than our, trying to use as little space as possible? We use less electricity because we have less space. We require less heating. Less driving and polluting because we’re closer together.
It may look worse, but my current city has the same population as the entire state where I grew up in, except people don’t selfishly each need an acre of perfectly farmable land to themselves. What we do in our footprint of a city “rural” people sprawl out for hundreds of square miles. No, I say fake rural people are much, much worse for the environment.

It’s true you don’t own a selfish acre of perfectly farmable land instead you only survive because someone else is feeding you factory farmed, pesticide flavored, expensive monoculture food from their own acres moved into the city by the truckload :D so much better for the planet I agree :D :D
