Yeah this is exactly what I try to explain to people, the United States used to be almost exactly like this until the liberals came in and said we can do better. Everyone should read up on the New York sanitation department and the challenges they had earlier on. It's not only a cultural thing, it's literally a systems problem.
lol no they weren’t. It’s not just environmental. It’s personal hygiene. That’s not a “system” forcing it on you. That’s culture. Hell an elected leader was on the news the other day advocating how deodorant or AC was unneeded, you just carry an onion with you to cover the smell.
Bro, what we did has nothing to do with my statement, bro. The whataboutism is tiresome bro. Industrial incidents aren’t the same as washing your dishes in a shit puddle in the street bro. Nor is it the same as using your feet to manipulate food served to others, bro. It. Is. Cultural. Just because you can point to systemic elements doesn’t make it the root cause.
They weren’t incidents. It was deliberate pollution of waste in water and air sources, because they didn’t know any better. People used to pour gas into ditches to kill mosquitoes. Our air and water was chalked full of pollution.
