US could always turn those soybeans into cheap food for the US.
Even give it away to starving families who lost their SNAP benefits during the shutdown.
But capitalists have to lie, çeat, & steal.
Cheat?
Tax evasion, market manipulation, monopolies… etc.
Sha-eat?
You got it right the first time.
Cha che chi cho chu = Ça çe çi ço çu.
English is such a shit language it changes “ea” to /ι/ in “cheat” /çιt/
You seem reasonably proficient at it. I think you introduce misspellings like this on purpose—given your history. It’s a bit psychotic if you ask me—given your history…….
What’s the problem with “çeat”? Pretty obvious that it’s pronounced “cheat”. If you’d speak three languages or more, you’d be aware of that.Don’t blame others for your eductional deficites.
French would like to disagree.
I don’t disagree, but I am blatantly Eigo no des.
Eigo hanaserun dattara, nande eigo hanasenai no?
Hokkaido dashite.
It’s not not a cedille, actually. Or is it? I can’t see the original post from the “Messages” menu.
ðey do þings like ðis on purpose to troll. ðey hæve æ history of it.
In fact 10 minutes before my posting this comment they admitted to doing it to mock the English language. Ironic for a person who calls themselves an “Anti Bully”
Languages are tools. Imperial tools can be made fun of. Is there a reason you are this bent on supporting a war crime language?
Japan sided with the Nazis, who spoke German, so I don’t know how insulted I am when you call English a war crime language.
Try harder. Be better.
And we reparated twice. The US has never reparated Indigenous folks. Their genocides continue.
Maybe criticize your conquerers harder before you tell me again who are the psychotic imperialists demanding we correct our use of a language.
If you didn’t put effort into being a troll, I wouldn’t mind language mistakes at all. But your English is just fine… you just want to troll people because of where they were born and what language they learned as a child.
That’s what’s wrong with you. You don’t care at all about the “indigenous folks,” I’m sure I can scroll through your history and not find a single mention. You just want to hate on people you think are “bad.”
Projection. Absolute projection.
Please cease your English bootlicking nonsense. I have other projects to attend to than to ego stroke a grammartist.
Pwojectshahn. Absorute pwojectshahn.
Pwease asease yo Engrish bootricking nonsense. I have otha pwojects to ahtten to than to ego stwoke a gwammatist.
That’s you. That’s what you sound like. Assoe.
You’re the one projecting. You’re the one saying that people who were born “wrong” are bad.
You sound exactly like those people you hate.
Cite me where I said that word.
Do you think it is OK to hate people based on the language they speak?

Are you afraid to answer a direct question? That usually suggests that a person is afraid to defend their own beliefs.

I know the meaning. Answer the question. Or, are you scared?
Why would an imperialist grammarian instill more fear in me than the damages they cause?
You seem hung up on something I already ended.
Why do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
I am a lover, not an imperialist.
Please end your English imperialism.
Why do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
Bullying the English language? That’s a bit far fetched, IMO. Also, cry me a river, language hugger. How do you like zis? Haha! Vee can do even vorse zings to ze language you love zis much. Gunther, here, vill recite some literature for you in his native Saxon accent…
I’m sure you can go through their post history and see them criticizing the English language over and over. They just need someone to hate, and it is people who speak English.
It’s a strange hill to die on, but I guess they’re going to do it.
It’s weird that you are coming to their aid
A language can take a lot more than somebody making fun of it. Actually, jokes are language, often enough used in smart ways.
Do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
Making fun a language isn’t psychotic behavior, unless you have something you want to confess.
If anything, English is an imperial language forced down our throats after Amekos beat us in WWII. But given that you actually know history, you should know why Unicode relented on “ç” for /ch/.
Ironic how you love to mock specific groups and also call yourself “anti bully.” You and I both know you’ve got a long long history of trolling.
The fuck you on about?
Go to bed.
Are you going to pay me to go to bed?
🙂↕️
Sha-eat?
Clearly English is your third language.
How do you pronouns “C”?
/ka/?
Giving things away for free en masse costs money. And the farmers are already going bankrupt from this. Big Ag will buy up that land cheap, and then the subsidies will be announced. Just like last time.
Wow, capitalist propaganda in my response.
Did you even bother to read who actually paid for the beans on these farms through subsidies?
Let’s be blatant, the farmers are worried about profit, not feeding the hungry.
I don’t think you read what I wrote properly.
Money is theft.
No. Let the adults talk.
The “adults” in the room.
The existence of abuse of an item doesn’t make the concept bad. That doesn’t solve anything. It’s fanciful distraction from an actual solution to the issue you claim to care about
Explain that solution.
According to americans beans are for mexicans and commies and soy feminizes you, thus, no such luck.
So what your telling me it’s time for the Mexican fembois to rise up and take over America?
Iv heard of worse fates.
Turning us all into soyboys?
Lol the irony would be pretty delicious.
Good. Make it forever.
US Farmers having the day they voted for:

They were voting for subsidies
Soy farming is destructive to natural ecosystems. A shame for the farmers in the US, but the nature will be glad and that is more valuable. It does depend on the replacement crop.
I am worried about Brazilian’s nature with the increasing soy farming. Soy needs terrain that competes with beautiful native plants, and with increasing production, more land will be lost, and more water consumed.
The good news is that soy farming makes more sense in Brazil. Higher rainfall means less diverted water. It is actually more ecologically cost effective. Hopefully there will not be much more forest displacement.
Soyf farming and cattle ranching have been destroying the amazon for decades. It is severely diminished from that. But it is such a huge forest that it seems infinite.
The bigger problem is that the soil on the amazon is actually pretty bad. There is a thin fertile layer that gets renewed by the forest. Once you cut it down to plant something else it quickly becomes bad, so you have to cut down more forest to keep up production
It’s true and very sad.
They claim the soy farming won’t be allowed to deforest further, but the more land used for soy, the less for cattle. That can push cattle ranchers deeper into forested land and the effect is the same.
I hope this can be solved soon. The Amazon is a precious, ancient treasure of Earth.
Soy farming restores nitrogen on soil. The alternative of using chemical processes to restore that nitrogen is stopping farming corn, and that’s not happening.
So much winning
The deals are so good.
Good. Fuck em. I’ll sit back and enjoy while the rest of the world proceeds to set up a trade network that bypasses the U.S. entirely, fostering far more cooperation and goodwill than America’s Hegemonic diplomacy ever has. America can get fucked for all I care.
For those asleep at the wheel: This is part of the plan, it’s helping the last % points of a corporate takeover of the US primary sector that started over a decade ago. It’s consolidation into monopolies. It’s the US perestroika.
That’s just playing by Trump’s own rules and winning hard. Good for them. Fuck the fascists above anything else.
It’s a bit confusing:
China Makes Biggest Soybean Buy From U.S. in Two Years
It would be interesting to know how this effects the people in China as the country is the world’s largest importer not just of soybeans but of food in general. Is Brazil even able to fill the gap?
