Poster in the original X post states: "Under capitalism, food isn't produced to feed people, its produced to make a profit. When it's not profitable to feed people, we let them starve. Even when our labor has conquered scarcity, capitalism must manufacture it in order to justify its existence." [image description: Bobby from the American television cartoon show King of the Hill sits on a rock atop what I presume to be the moon or another planet -in the background there is a dark sky with stars beaming. The caption above appears just above Bobby.] Further context: a person sent this message to me to further describe the scene of Bobby in the image above (I added in the colour description -thank you!) : re: the bobby king of the hill meme, he is colored [a light pale blue] and put in the comic panel as dr manhattan from watchmen when he has vacationed to mars due to his detachment from/maybe contempt for humanity

Do you know what else puts this into perspective for me too? The United Nations has estimated (many times over the years) the amount it would take to solve world hunger, and if you look at the military expenditures of some of the most powerful countries in the world, which excess in billions and close to trillions of dollars together, on top of billionaires in this world living well beyond their means, you know how easily it can be to ensure people are getting proper access to food and resources their entire lives, but it's still a global humanitarian issue -people are STARVING all around the world, but so many governments would rather allocate expenses/their budgets to the military. Because if these people in power and affluence really wanted to, world hunger would be solved -and they'd still be rich. The way this entire world has been set up will always be baffling and cruel.

Feed humanity, not global warming.

Veganism is the only healthy and sustainable solution for world hunger. Yet we keep paying farmers to continue the extortion of animals for their flesh to result a large quantity of nutritional food into a small amount of wasteful steak.

Taste is no longer an argument, as humans have already achieved the taste of meat through plantbased alternatives.

If you’re truly concerned for human rights, world hunger and want to contribute to the solution instead of adding to the problem subconsciously.. go choose veganism today.

the value lost in cryptocurrency markets in the last seven months ($1.5 trillion) is enough to feed everyone on the planet for 75 years

I got married to former president Obama and he did a kickflip at our wedding which ended up ending world hunger. Thanks Obama :)

I have something to tell to the people throwing soup at protection glasses of paintings

First of, why do you attempt against art? Do you really think it's useless and doesn't make any difference? Do you have any idea of how much it costed materially, physically and psycologically to the artists, principally Monet and Van Gogh? For these artists, their artworks were literally their lives. If it wasn't about how art made them feel alive by expressing their most profound feelings, was about how with art, they literally won their daily bread. It was their salary. Art meant so much for them as a way to send a message, to open up minds and challenge an elitist society that found impressionism worthless. They were outcasts.

Mainly for Van Gogh, life was rough. He couldn't even afford food, he only sold one (1) of his many paintings while he was alive, and he had way worse phsycological problems that you could ever imagine to the point he had to be half of his life on a mental hospital. But art held him on the worst times, gave him courage to go on. Even more, he tried anything before art to please his parents, to feel worthy, to make him feel useful, but nothing except art made him feel like he was doing something self satisfactory. Art doesn't have more worth than life, but life without art is meaningless. Art is nothing more than the incarnated manifestation of life experiences.Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase isn't but part of a collection that Van Gogh painted to show how much life was worth living for because society wasn't paying attention to little details that form part of our daily lives and make life beautiful. He was a social activist, and it can be seen that portrayed in many of his paintings. That painting you're attempting to, is the ancestor of the camera your pal was holding. Art makes more concience than soup spilled on a canvas.

Your points are very valid, and I agree with you. The World is at war, hunger and poverty is everywhere and we're on a climate World change crisis. Even more, it's outrageously immoral the prices that these paintings cost today. I think it would be better that these museums were open to the public in general but in the end, there is maintenance staff that live from the salary that the money won generates. But how do you expect to end worldwide hunger when you're wasting food on a multimillion dollar painting? Why do you brag of being against oil when you dye your hair with chemicals and use new printed shirts made out of this oil? How much did it cost the ticket to enter these museums? Why don't you spend that money donating to organizations that urgently need it? If the cans of soup you're throwing at paintings were better donated to home shelters or feeding organizations, people would stop starving. If you're against something, reduce, don't waste, be congruent.

There are other things you can do to stop these problems. There's a peaceful economic sabotage that you can do, way more effective than you think:

Stop buying oil based products like plastic, hair dye, cosmetics, clothing. Go for naturally made things, for artisan made things. You can buy clothing on second hand stores, and you'll reduce the massive clothing production that wastes an amount of water litters and contaminates air, ground and water.

Buy to local sellers. Many products are transported by vehicles like cars, airplanes and ships that use oil fuel and generates high amount of co2. The closer you buy, the better you're helping to reduce oil use. Also, go for public transportation or, if your destination is near, you can walk or use other transportation like bicycles.

Reduce your electricity use and the time you spend online. In the present, the majority of electricity is powered by oil based power centers, and all of Internet data is stored on centers that have to be cooled down by electricity so, the less you stay on social media, the more you will prevent the massive production of unnecessary electricity.

Donate money if you can to organizations that search for other electricity generators that are eco-friendly. Donate old clothing to people that need it, and consume food responsibly so you don't leave leftovers. The food that you get left can be donated as well.

Stop blaming art, and start looking to what artists of the past have to tell you and teach you through their paintings instead. Art is World Culture Patrimony. Start living responsibly and take real action, change your lifestyle, and you'll see how change starts becoming true. If no one uses oil, governments will stop producing it.

I will end this post quoting the russian author Fyodor Dostoievsky: "Beauty will save the World"

And this section of one of the many letters Vincent wrote to his brother Theo:

“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.”

Random shortened ramble that my brain went on cause I was thinking about my belief of never wasting any chicken / poultry specifically (its not only because of this reason) BUT-

The way a lot of people think about world hunger and upcoming food crisis of 2050 is largely often missing that not all food is created equal and not all food is equally necessary

And that rather than just calories, PROTEIN is needed which is why you cant solve it with just mass producing bread or other high calorie carbs and fat

And why Chickens will save humanity from the food crisis as their eggs and meat both provide that essential protein

Shrink discs and grow discs are what we call them. You’re fine, buddy.

I’ve tried and succeeded growing a taco. And an orange. And cake.

Pym particles definitely work on food, and it’s amazing! In fact, Hope’s been using Pym Tech resources to research how our particles can help with world hunger and things like that. It’s incredible. She’s incredible.

Anyway, yeah, this totally works on food.

Opinion

Some of you asked me about my opinion on current drama that's going on around the Sims universe. Oh, my dear, dear, honeybees... Right now russia is bombing cities of my homeland, killing hundreds of people every day, torture them, twisting their minds and also doing everything possible to create massive world hunger. It's a terroristic country that threatens everyone's bare existence. Kittens and puppies, you're all bitching about what exactly? About EA saying things we all already knew? And I need what? Have some opinion about it? Excuse me, but I'm a bit busy having a war in my country. Call me when russia came to bomb your cities - I'll take some javelin with me to help you out. So far - you can have my free advice: Don't tell your opinion - BE your opinion.

Your poltergeist, Eugene

Controversial Fact:

Supporting and popularizing the idea that large families(particularly families with 6+ kids) are a major contributor to climate change(particularly global warming), overpopulation, and supply & demand failure is a capitalist idea that has the same effect as blaming a six year who doesn't like broccoli for world hunger, or one person who flies in planes a lot for natural resource mining. All while ignoring the fact that big families often come not from choice, but from: lack of access to birth control/sex ed, legal sexual assault in religious groups, and IVF miscalculations. It also ignores the fact that regardless of whether it was a choice or not, despite what you see on T.V., most big families are impoverished and full of disability(and other minorities), which just makes things like no access to birth control/sex ed more common.

I read on the recent news. Americans are majorally living from paycheck to paycheck. We have money for wars but not to feed the poor let alone their own citizens which they demand taxes. Imagine third world countries.
