Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA?
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agoEh, It’s a bit of both. No amount of societal pressure will solve a complete absence of waste disposal infrastructure. It’s a matter of making the sense of shame and/or duty greater than whatever distance there inevitably is to a working bin.

A bit of one and mostly the other. The other being “you don’t drop shit on the ground expecting someone to clean up after you”
You know, civilisation. Society. Decency
Really boils my piss

Careful, if you’re mad that people are shit you’ll be mad forever.

People aren’t shit though.
There’s a tiny 4% of the planet that thinks everyone’s shit because they are
People generally are fucking amazing

Uh, history? Almost all of it. You think that’s the history of a nice species? Or do you think everyone has spontaneously become nicer, just for this generation? We haven’t, at least not appreciably; we just have stronger institutions now to manage it.
Also, it’s way more than 4%. I’m guessing it’s a majority that would agree with that statement. There’s even religions about it. Weren’t you the one just complaining about everyone being littering savages? Hopefully you don’t just mean people not where you live - that would be a very historical thing to think.
