WITCHES. Some are Villagers who were struck by lightning, and upon realising they miraculously survived an attempt on their life by the sky itself- decide to do more with their lives and run away to do their own thing. They have not realised the possible brain damage caused.

Others were just born as Witches, to Witches.

(also no that witch in the window is not Klav's old mentor haha, that one's different)

horny art is awesome and i think every pervert with an odd and obscure fetish who draws their own porn is a hero

[pamperpixie]

Sooner or later leftists will have to deal with the issue that capitalism has made many people used to wanton excess and sooner or later we'll have to legit tell everyone we can't have plastic treats and luxury produce or cruises instantly available year round and it's gonna make so many people mad and call you a big meanie worse than stalin over it. It will not be popular at all but someone's gotta hold a firm no or the planet will never stop collapsing. We can't save the planet by living exactly how we do now just with a communist banner over it we have to take a loss sorry, shein product cycles shouldn't have been normalized to begin with.

[despazito]

The banana discourse really separated the wheat from the chaff of which "lefties" actually want a global workers revolution and which ones just want more stuff to be free

[toothbrushunicorn]

It helps if we address why most people want these frivolous trinkets. Because I honestly think it boils down to "I work so much and get so little in return that I am in a constant state of despair and depression. It's difficult for me to find meaning in this, and I am one missed paycheck from homelessness or suicide. My brain is in survival mode and to keep me from checking out, it needs dopamine. Right now, this labubu is giving my brain its dopamine spike. I'll buy 20 more."

Basically I think the desire for those things will wane once people are out of the system that has them thinking/surviving that way.

It is disappointing though, the amount of leftists who refuse to give up Amazon and defend their Amazon Prime memberships like they need it to breathe. If a person can't break out of consumerism as a way to cope, then how can they expect that of others? I know it's kinda cliche, but you have to be the change you want to see, lead by example, etc and whatnot.

This is why I treat all my personal-scale climate action as a Dress Rehearsal. We learned years ago that a personal carbon footprint is just propaganda from BP oil. Companies and governments are doing the actually impactful polluting, but a corollary to this is that the stuff companies and governments do also impacts our lives directly.

I got a privileged enough roll of the dice that I can afford the time, money and energy to say “what would my world look like without X or doing Y differently?” So that when discussing a more sustainable future where X is no longer offered by companies, I know what my other options are for meeting my wants and needs, so I can provide a good-faith vision of the future to others who just had the rug pulled out from under them and aren’t going to be sold a solution this time.

Some examples:

1. My family traveled a lot when I was young. The idea of a family trip is part of my family’s culture. So I started pushing for more local camping trips, or places we could get to by train or car rather than airplane. Turns out the part that was important to my family was the time together somewhere novel with cool nature to admire.

2. I’m not vegetarian or vegan. But I’ve added a bunch of veg/vegan meals to my repertoire and that teaches the people in my life that there are delicious, complete-feeling meals that include little or no animal products. This meant that I cared a lot less when egg prices spiked because I knew how to make alternatives that I like. I made succotash for my D&D crew and it was such a big hit they started actively requesting it!

Final note: one huge tripping point is the pervasiveness of virtue ethics. People aren’t arguing about whether banana production has an ecological or human impact. Nor are they arguing about how to meet the wants/needs bananas currently fulfill by being so ubiquitously available. Most people argue about whether they deserve to be categorically judged for liking/wanting bananas (as a conscious or unconscious analogue to the Christian idea of finding which things are Sins). Respectfully OP, even you fell into this with your comment about “separating the wheat from the chaff” when referring to actual human people. Wanting free stuff isn’t a Sin, and there is no Perfectly Virtuous set of leftist beliefs to hold. I have to catch this constantly in my own thought patterns, so if you want a good primer on unlearning this, I highly recommend Innuendo Studios video “The Alt-Right Playbook: I Hate Mondays” (length: 15:35).

So yeah, we live in extreme consumerist excess here in the US, and most folks are going to struggle with the sacrifices and radical changes involved in reaching a better future. You and I included. But while we must revamp our systems as quickly as possible to build a better world, we must also have compassion for the people having to learn this new world real-time, and not judge ourselves and each other for being new to all this.

It will be scary, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable. But we can do it together.

if I am given time to breath, things to do, and room to breath I will be happy.

I'm not sure if this is the case for everyone, but the idea of no more bananas fills me with despair not because yum yum I love bananas so much, but because what other fruit can you get for 25¢ each? As someone living in a North American food desert, what other fruit is within such easy grasp, even seasonally? None!

[shininginspace]

I think a lot of discussion on this topic doesn’t take into account there are people living in rich countries, that will starve if they suddenly stop buying bananas or cheap meat. I’m not exaggerating, I will end up in the hospital (and literally have in the past for this reason) if I stop eating factory farmed meat. When in the hospital they fed me factory farmed meat. I live in poverty and believe poor people shouldn’t starve themselves if there’s food available. What I believe is we need to change what’s available and how it’s available.

I believe it’s extremely important to work together to try new mindsets and build new systems. The way workers and animals are treated in factory farms is horrific. The way the US committed genocide in Guatemala for cheap fruit in horrific. People living in Guatemala shouldn’t be exploited and starve, and people living in the US shouldn’t be exploited and starve. Both things are true.

It’s possible to have societies where everyone’s needs are met. I think we need to transition to lower production (50% of food in the US is wasted) with proper treatment of workers and changed consumption patterns. We in North America don’t need to eat so much sugar. We all don’t need to drink coffee everyday. Having it once a year as a treat could become the new norm. We could start farming or herding animals in traditional ways and collectively eat a lot less meat. Chocolate should be viewed as a treat and not as a necessity. A better world for all of us is possible. People farming sugar deserve better. People farming chocolate deserve better. People farming bananas deserve better.

However I’ve personally seen many iterations of the “banana discourse” or the meat conversation where anti-imperialists are saying everyone in imperialist countries should stop eating meat and bananas today. If *everyone* does that people will die. Mostly poor disabled people. Let’s not throw poor people under the bus in any country because telling people to starve for your ideals is never going to go down well.

I personally think it’s great to have these convos! I am also extremely sick of poor disabled people being left to die. Please don’t tell us to go kill ourselves in conversations about how poor & exploited people deserve better.

Thank you! This is a much more articulate version of what I was trying to convey in my contribution. I do eat less meat than I used to, I do try to veer toward fruit that is not imported, but to suggest I should be ready to just stop is only possible within a system that supports that choice instead of making it an actively hostile one. My personal choices can only go so far when I am under this much systemic strain.

As an individual poor disabled person, I have to choose bananas. they're fairly nutrient dense, dirt cheap, and disability friendly. I don't eat bananas because they are irreplaceable, but because of the current economy of food in the United States. Crabapples, hollygrapes, persimmons and huckleberries grow like weeds where I live, as well as nutrient dense root vegetables. Many of the root vegetables are in stores, but I've never seen any of our fruits on a store shelf before. The ones that should be incredibly easy to grow, and which come in dense clusters that are relatively easy to pluck and could be bred for that trait even moreso than the wild ones.

I also eat a lot of beans in my goal of cutting back on meat, and while I'm personally able to cook them on my own, it makes me endlessly frustrated how few options there are in the way of affordable, prepared bean based meals, ESPECIALLY when we know growing beans also affixes nitrogen that is often missing from our depleted soil. Additionally, when prepared properly, you allow the chemical that causes gas and stomach pain to soak into a pot of water. Many people think beans still inherently cause stomach pain after this point because the standard American diet is so devoid of fiber that our gut does not have enough good bacteria to process the amount in beans, leaving it to ferment in the gut and cause bloating.

These points are kind of a disconnected semi-informed ramble, but ugh, things should be better than the way they are.
