smellmycheese posted:gently caress me. I need to stop reading the news - western institutions have been captured by an 'anti-growth' movement, which can be seen by evidence such as higher taxes, increased government spending, and *gestures vaguely* woke. - this is terrible and if something isn't done we'll be locked into the same trajectory of countries like China, with their terrible, failed economic systems - therefore we must return at once to Reagan/Thatcher economics to restore growth and prosperity - it's especially imperative we do this due to the growing threat from China, which grows stronger and more economically prosperous each year

I think Humza winning was very important for holding together the SNP's governing coalition, both despite and because of the terfy screeching it provoked.

Is there anything that can be done about salted land? Can it be chemically neutralised or the salt be dug away?

No, I'd say it's more likely that the person responsible is 60 than 16. I seem to remember a lot of history lessons when I was about 13 on the topic of Jethro Tull (no, not the Ian Anderson one) & seed drills, crop rotation & other agricultural happenings of the early 18th century. I guess they don't teach that stuff anymore.

salting the earth doesn't actually do too much longterm unless kilos and kilos are used- otherwise a few solid rainfalls and it's gonna be rinsed out, the whole "salting of the earth" thing was more ritualistic in times of antiquity, especially with the cost of salt back then

I just use boiling water for weeds, it works well enough that whatever I want to plant there an hour later can take over the spot. Salting the earth is definitely a ritualistic fascist oval office idea, probably from mixing Roman imperialism and the early 20th century European cult of 'traditionalism' into some hateful ideal against growing food to feed the 'useless eaters' and 'invaders' and whatever other stupid nazi bullshit whoever did it had internalized.

i think the romans flooded the agricultural plains of the catheginians with salty sea water, rather than make several return trips to tescos to get bags of table salt
