Damn, I’m old enough to remember this post the first time it happened on Reddit. I laughed about this poor fool all day. Good times.

It’s not that they think they are right, it’s that they are CONVINCED that everyone else ALSO thinks they are right and are too scared to say so. So they are thrilled to force their racist beliefs on everyone because they are sure we are just victims of the “woke mind virus” or equivalent. They are sure they are saving us from ourselves and it makes them insufferable.

We were too quick to pardon everyone and try to get back to normal.
That gave the losing side the idea that

What proof do you have that your waste is being processed correctly? I have proof mine is not and plenty of news reporting from across the US in the last 5 years that says consumer curbside recycling is basically dead.
I’m just speaking as someone who does carefully separate everything, only to watch the truck put it all the same place. My individual actions mean fuck all if the rest of the process doesn’t work.
It’s hard to blame them entirely when the facilities to separate and recycle the waste were never fully built in the US and we spent decades shipping bales of consumer recycling to Asia where it was often deemed too dirty to use for recycling and was burned instead. You can find tons of great articles about the collapses of consumer recycling and the unraveling of the plastic recycling lies sold to the American public, it came about 2021 and continued to be a hot topic through 2023. Today, my shitty neighborhood has collectively stepped down from a proper waste pickup with bins, to 4 guys and a truck who collect and take the waste to a nearby incinerator. We know it can’t be an “official” waste collection company by the “We Love Junk” signs on the truck enjoying our cans, but we’ve been told this is fancy hand collection that is quieter than standard trash trucks and we should be grateful. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)
In the US it’s nearly impossible since the pandemic. Most waste collection firms are dumping both cans in the same truck and not recycling anything. Plastic recycling in particular turned out to be much more expensive than waste management was prepared to keep doing so they stopped.
'96 Saturn Wagon in red. Mom bought it after a car accident left her unable to drive a manual transmission for a year when I was a freshman. She made me learn to drive in it, then as soon as I passed my test she brought herself a brand new Honda CRV with manual transmission and gave me the Saturn. I drove it until I finished graduate school in 06, I gave the Saturn back and she gave me $15k to buy a new car of my choice as a graduation present. My new husband and I chose a Ford Focus wagon, manual transmission, which we drove happily until it’s final demise in 2023. Mom sold the Saturn to a friend in the next state of over for a few grand but she drove the poor thing into a flooded road and killed it less than a year later.
