26. I do know what a strawman argument is.
And I also know that I havent made one. If I have misunderstood any part of your argument you have been free to clarify.

"The fact that the food is under lock and key is a sign that the population is pursuing or taking part in unsustainable ecological strategies."

That is nonsensical. It is a sign that the government is taking part in an economic design that places profit for the elite over feeding the starving. It is not a sign of the population doing anything, I would agree that capitalism is an usustainable ecological strategy, but that isnt really the main issue at play here.
