And they mostly never needed to. Just throw out what is in nature outside. But now with plastic and actual things we need to care for, they have essentially destroyed their environment because they are retarded.

> Ten rivers are the source of 90% of the total plastic pollution in the oceans. Of these, two are in India: the Indus (No. 2 worldwide with most plastic) and Ganges (No. 6).

Jordan Peterson did one good thing. He brought attention to the army study that showed people under 85 IQ are incapable of contributing to a modern society.
Please do. I'm intrigued.
On one hand I consider myself to be of higher intelligence.
Yet other times I could see an argument for me being retarded.
The things I have excelled at with no formal instruction juxtaposed with things I've struggled with is interesting.
I don't think we would've ever switched away from paper and glass. When I was a kid, we were subjected to an absolutely massive propaganda push about "litter", making us think that broken glass bottles were everywhere and a source of untold misery and ugliness from the litter. We were also guilt tripped about "destroying the rain forest" because of paper bags (which were predominantly used to bag groceries in stores), even though we don't get our paper from the rain forest, and almost all wood cutting operations regrow trees where they harvest so they don't stupidly clear cut entire forests and put themselves out of work.
Because of this propaganda push, we largely stopped using glass bottles and paper products in the late 80s and early 90s, and switched almost entirely to plastic. Also, all aluminum cans are lined with plastic on the inside, the prevent any liquids from reacting with the aluminum. Aluminum cans are no better than plastic containers. It's glass or bust.

There are gypsies down the road. The backside of their house is FILLED with trash. Absolutely disgusting. And they manage to tear down their fences multiple times. They just fuck it up. And they also have trash lying around in their yard, because why the fuck not.
Makes sense, generally speaking they lack the ability to reason about the future. Trash and recycling is a "tomorrow" thing, which they can't understand.
I used to chalk up idiots to being exhausted, or having a bad day, or depression. Now I realize many of them can watch WWE for years and believe its real

It’s horrific and fucking disgusting/enraging considering trash cans are usually only 30-50 feet away. If you’ve ever been in a large shopping center area, you can identify the stores niggers frequent by the amount of trash around.
Especially tons of discarded tobacco, packaging for their blunt cigars or whatever the fuck.
It's especially noticeable when they aren't born here because there's absolutely zero culture of cleaning after yourself because, as you say, the most complicated trash they would have had would be animal bones.
I'll go clean it up. I hate the idea that I'm somehow helping those too retarded to put gabage in garbage can, but they don't seem to care either way and it's my neighbourhood; I want it to look nice.
When they see me, they're shocked. Usually they think that I'm being paid because the concept of people voluntarily making their own homes beautiful is a totally incomprehensible idea to then.

at the same time a ton of people over 85 IQ don't understand recycling, to the point that many now have cult beliefs about it. for example, there's a shitload of product picked up that is not recyclable, and it's just going to landfill. most plastic isn't recyclable, and manufacturers frequently use a logo that looks like the recycle icon but isn't, because they want to appear socially conscious.
and many regions have given up on recycling glass. but because of social feel-good bullshit, they often don't bother to tell people to stop putting it in the bins. so they go through the song and dance to sort out glass, or just put the whole bin in landfill.
and of course as less and less trash goes to actually recycle, they never lowered the taxes back down (because landfill is cheaper).
I used to work at the dump. I would find cash all the time.mostly 20s but a few times 100s. I always shared with my line mate. And he did the same. Even a black guy, but he voluntarily worked there because it was unskilled labor that paid nearly $20 an hour in 2012 and was a union track job. The blacks on work release would eat the packaged food that came through their lines
the concept of putting something aside to use later is too abstract. If they don't know how they would feel if they didn't have breakfast this mornign how do you expect them to understand how their trash could be used by someone else to make something new?
They are filthy "inside" as they are outside, including the surrounding they inhabit. This isn't something that needs convincing of any sort, but an observable fact.
