In defense of freeganism
...Freeganism is about more than just mooching or dropping out of the economy. The entire ideology is based around not just withdrawing from capitalism but building something new, an economy built on values of sustainability, mutual aid, autonomy, and direct democracy. My friends majoring in econ glibly point out to me that such values are no way to run an efficient and productive economy. My response? ‘That’s fine.’ Freeganism acknowledges that the massive socialist projects of the 20th century that sought to compete with capitalism failed. Instead, freegans seek to build an economy on a local and decentralized scale with projects like ‘skill-shares,’ bike workshops, and ‘really really free markets’ based on gift economics. Such a freegan future will involve a lot less work, less production, and less stuff, which is quite frankly exactly what the biosphere needs...

Any place that throws out food knows about freegans and has chosen whether to padlock their dumpster on day 1 or 2. And you better get used to living off capitalisms garbage because pretty soon that's all there's gonna be

i feel the same, why should i lift a finger unless the world becomes a better place and/or people elect me King Of The Universe. posting my ever changing opinions about dead jews is certainly a pursuit more worth of my while.

the idea was to feed and water 5000 people (they claim no religious affiliation of course) and the food was the less interesting part because finding binfood is really easy in the decadent west. far more interesting was the organisational part, how few people you actually need to feed a group that size and how quickly it can be done
the only thing that didnt work was the queueing because morons kept, like, forgetting they were in a queue? and not walking forward, which meant non-morons joined the queue in front of them, like youd expect, and this kept happening
