Your dishonest "both sides suck" troll is you actively aiding and abetting the cyberwarfare apparat being fielded against us and other Western powers. You are part of this nation's treason prroblem. And you will remain a traitor as long as yousurround yourself with alt-fact echo chamber fabrications being fobbed off as journalism.
For thousands of years people have created an us/them dynamic in order to feel special and above others. People do the same with politicians so they can have a boogeyman and avoid the pain that comes with the realization that the american people are of poor quality.
i can't believe he had to leave home to learn how to make hash.

Frenchy Cannoli, a renowned hashish evangelist who spent 18 years as a nomad learning to make the drug from the resin of the cannabis plant in rural parts of Asia, Africa and Mexico, died on July 18 in San Francisco. He was 64.
The cause was complications during surgery, said his wife, Kimberly Hooks, who is affectionately known as Madame Cannoli in her husband’s world.
Mr. Cannoli — a nom de ganja for the way that he rolled resin like the Italian pastry — blended a true believer’s love of the drug with a connoisseur’s nose for quality and an enthusiast’s zeal for the hashish that comes from cannabis grown in Northern California.
“I’ve been making hash all my life,” he said, in his thick French accent, during a speech to the Concentration cannabis conference in 2019. “It’s not a big deal — it’s my life.”
His hashish earned him respect in cannabis circles, as did his workshops, “Lost Art of the Hashishin,” which taught artisanal producers and home gardeners in the United States, Canada, Spain and the Netherlands how to harvest the resin glands of the cannabis plants, known as trichomes. He wrote widely and left behind two unfinished books, one a history of cannabis concentrates and the other a hash-making manual.
Mr. Cannoli, who lived in Richmond, Calif., was also helping cannabis producers from Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties — known as the Emerald Triangle — get legally protected geographic designations from the State of California for their products the way that the Champagne, Napa Valley and Bordeaux regions did long ago in the wine industry.
And he is the subject of a documentary series, “Frenchy Dreams of Hashish,” that has yet to be released.
“I’d been smoking marijuana since I was 14 and met Frenchy when I was 33 and learned more about the plant in those two years than in the 15 I’d been smoking,” the director, Jake Remington, said by phone. “I just remember, me and Frenchy, the camera rolling, going from farm to farm, smoking joint after joint.”

lmao. We can't all bend a knee to royalty.
I don't mind at all. Rant and rail all you want. It's entertaining, much in the same way Trump was. And I am 64 and vaccinated, so I am not worried about COVID "crashing in" on me any more than anything else. Indeed, I don't worry about much at all. I spend my days in my pajamas, enjoying a great, prosperous retirement, my family and my absolutely killer weed. I leave all the butthurt to the younger folk and to the naturally butthurt for life. Enjoy.
Back in the 70's there were books on the art and craft, but it was in the days before the internet and thousands of young people hit the road and went to exotic places, when they were still exotic. To really learn, you must do and to do that properly you must learn from those who have great experience. He took that collected traditional knowledge combined with actual experience and brought it back to the west. For some, fine hash is like fine wine and it has it connoisseurs.
I dunno. My experience is that pretty much all people are collectively of poor quality. Americans don't have anything on Europeans, Asians or Africans in that regard. My personal circle is another matter. I have a loving family, great friends who have had my back for decades, and even quite a few neighbors who watch out for me. I find that when I put my energy into those circles, willing to give as much as I get, that people aren't nearly so bad after all.
LOL. Whatever my problems may be, I am thankful I don't have to live with the shit in your head. Just wow, lol.
Sounds like ignorance is bliss, things not working out politically so time to retreat into yer shell.
OK Karen.
I don't think that's entirely true. In Europe they culturally embrace efficiency, whereas in the US we equate freedom to waste, excess and gluttony. Many south american countries are much better at sustainable resource management, well...aside from when they allow a western corporation to operate on their land anyway. Plenty of african and middle eastern countries are pretty misogynistic and barbaric though. Even when I say american people are shitty, that's not the same as saying we're all the same. The whole republican/christian segment is winning the race to the bottom by a large margin.
I put it down to most people are almost always not in a position to screw over another person, so they are 'good people' almost always.
For real, it is interesting how you seem so confident in this yet the evidence would show that you are clearly in la-la land with the both sides shit man.
Agree that Europeans are better at embracing efficiency, but except for the last 75 years, they had no peers in creating bloodshed. Americans rule at innovation and are hands down more generous with those in need, but can't dispense medicine affordably and can't seem to string 20 years together without a war over coveting someone else's resources. Middle easterners excel at killing each other and others for no apparent reason and they are the best at staying mentally in the 12th century, even as they were accomplishing amazing science and architecture centuries ahead of the west.
Yep. I am totally confident. I love la la land a lot more than Whinersville.
Why do you think I live in 'Whinersville'?
