Mmm I sorta agree with you but soy milk and soy plantations in general (or whatever the proper name is for a farm of soybeans) definitely contribute to deforestation it takes a lot of land to turn out enough product

Here’s a quick mention in a posting I found - I’m sure there are some studies out there if you’re interested

The deforestation is to grow soy to feed cows to make milk and beef.

Kinda frustrating when the environmental alternative to dairy milk...is being planted in the former Amazon Rainforest to make dairy milk.

Can’t opt out of capitalism while living under it imo. Especially when it’s as systemic as it is. Not opting for any other governing style or economy really - I’m pretty ignorant on alternatives besides traditonal bartering. I just think it’s pretty obvious to anyone under the boot that this isn’t working.

I’d say the best course would be to beat them at their own game and rewrite the rules yourself I guess
