Or it's just covered in trash.

Granted, I've only been to a couple regions, but omg. It's insane how much literal garbage I've seen (or people just throwing shit on the ground) at beaches, national parks, religious monuments...

What, the rat poison?

Maybe but the guy was wrecked pretty much afterward and barely even finished. Could hardly walk for part of it.

So basically "please put rules in place that protect us from ourselves".

They have enough self awareness to know that it's bad, but too much greed/drive/whatever to risk someone else getting ahead of them, so they need an outside entity to step in and change the playing field.

Are you doing anything in particular to try to stop it?

Right, but I was replying to someone making it a generational thing.

I agree the quote is stupid. Also the guy was joking/exaggerating when he said it, never meant it the way it was used (even in movies, like Planet of the Apes) and also thought it was stupid. Which is partly why I picked it.

I'm honestly not sure if you mean the Nazis, the Israelis, or the Australian government.
