Got shown this piece of enraging slop-propaganda today, and I'm particularly annoyed because I live in an area that's a fake forest. If driving around, yeah, it seems the trees go on forever, but the treeline is in fact only about ten feet thick, and if you go beyond the fence, it thins out into a grassy lawn that is some guy's house.

AI Generated propaganda cartoon that claims that in 1850, there were as many trees as needed, that in 2026, trees and housing were plentiful, but in 2040, an environmental movement prohibited chopping down trees so the earth became one big forest to the annoyance of conservative types. The last panel has a guy with a backpack complaining "Can i just chop down one for a house?" and the nearby hippy tells him "No!"

The entire thing is absurd.
