Is It Time To Decolonize Your Lawn?

How is this real? Well we must get straight past that question because this is Not the Bee, where the seemingly unreal becomes very real every day.

Now come with me on an adventure as we dive into this surreal gem of an article from the Globe and Mail to find out why, indeed, our lawns are racist and we are terrible scumbag colonizers for maintaining them.

Just get to the point, if you’re white, everything you do is racist.

Did you notice how they criticize humans for trying to control or improve on nature? These nut cases believe we should all live in a jungle and hunt for nuts and berries.

In many areas, having a lawn is racist and elitist!

“What is a lawn but a statement of control over nature?” asks John Douglas Belshaw, a Canadian history professor at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C.

“That’s a huge part of settler culture. You see that river there? We can dam that. We can organize that water, we can make that water work for us. It’s essentially the same mindset. I can reorganize this landscape, flatten it, plant lawn, find a non-indigenous species of plant, of grass, and completely extract anything that’s not homogenous, that doesn’t fit with this green pattern and control it ... A backyard with a big lawn is like a classroom for colonialism and environmental hostility.”

This diseased brained idiot would starve in 1 month if it wasn’t for the White Man organizing, cultivating, and controlling the land.

If he would rather eat bugs, ants, and tree bark, and drink his water from non-potable puddles infested with mosquito larvae - move to Africa or Asia.

Romans 1:18-32 is exactly what happened to this fool.

I suppose it is racist, as well, not to have a couple broken down chairs in your front yard?

These people can pay the city when I’m hit with a fine for not keeping my yard up to code.

I’d like to tell this idiot that living in buildings is also a statement of “control over nature”.

I still don’t understand how Beethoven is racist. Can’t anyone listen to Beethoven?

“What is a house car cultivated food clothes fire lawn but a statement of control over nature?”

Absolutely it is.
Driving his car is ‘control over nature’.
Wearing clothes is ‘control over nature’.
Cooking a meal is ‘control over nature’.

These profs are some of the stupidest people on the planet.
