   Have you paused to consider just how much resistance, denialism,   
   vitriol, and personal enmity you're talking here simply for having a   
   home garden, sharing it, and promoting them as useful?   
      
   It appears certain assets here have a coordinated psyop going to chasten   
   Americans off from any efforts at sustainability inside their homesteads.   
      
   That is disturbing, given our uncertain times and future.   
      
   But it is also a very well-documented artifact of the re-toxified RFC   
   culture.
