gollark: That sort of labelling is too pro-nature for me.
gollark: I don't want to support things which are called "organic".
gollark: If you claim to care about something, but then mostly just ignore it, that's not exactly very meaningfully "caring".
gollark: I mean, yes, people care abstractly. If you ask them "hey, are you unhappy about some poverty-stricken countries being poverty-stricken" they'll say yes. But people do not actually practically care enough to do anything.
gollark: You STILL haven't demonstrated anything being basic.
