It's a good question for proving my point.

Claiming the moral high ground should presume posession of moral basics like decency (cutting people some slack, benefit of the doubt). Even more so if the moral high ground is used to shame others pulicly or subjugate to dishonorable treatment.

If not, all the moral grandstanding is just an excuse to behave like a douche.

Thus: people who are annoyed by this leave, with the share of those who think such behavior is ok ever increases

About reusable diapers: To satisfy ethical demands in an environment without decency is never achievable. Reusable diapers? Out of what material are they made? I hope it's environmentally substainable? Were they socially responsibly sourced? Done by a company or coop? Imported from a far away overseas country or produced by your local commune? It. Never. Stops.



If you knit them yourself from cotton grew in your background, you should be safe.


Hehe, well you forgot: why diapers at all?

1) No diapers, no resources used.

2) There are cultures who just don’t use them, why so imperialistic?

3) Isn’t your disgust of the smell of old diapers just a social construct?

How dare you grow non-native plants in your german backyard ! This is both a remnant of colonialism AND a danger to local biodiversity.


you need to build an underground greenhouse deep enough to be under aquifers and to be geothermically heated in winter powered by an all zero emission electrical grid


But then your agricultural run off could end up in the ocean. You don't want to kill the whales, do you?
