the left tells me there is too much plastic so instead i play with nature's legos (rocks) and suddenly that means i hate fish???

How about, to mix it up a bit, we have a 'struggle session' on the theoretical level? Instead of using topics to have proxy debates about conceptions of justice and autonomy, we just lay out clearly our differing views of justice, autonomy, democracy, intellectual property, etc.
- Is it that most of us don't have the ability to properly articulate an argument about those things? Or that we all assume we share the same stance but the differences come out in these super specific situations that turn into struggle sessions? That's why we get fixated on the specific things. If you ask how we feel about autonomy in the abstract, we all pretty much agree. If you ask about autonomy and not moving rocks, we argue because we don't have the same view of it. The rock moving brings it out but the source is an actual fundamental disagreement about those things but we can never properly touch on it because it requires specificity to a "real world" situation in order to show up clearly.
  
  Very good points, you can only really expect political philosophers/theorists to engage in this type of discussion
- what, and get banned for sectarianism?

The woke mob is telling me I can’t stack rocks any more? Literally 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451 COMBINED.
- Insert awkward angle selfie with a bunch of rocks and a gun

"You want me to not stack rocks? So, what, if I don't donate all my money and live like a monk and put nature in a big glass box I'm worse than Hitler? That's what you're saying, right? You just want to keep all the nature for yourself!" - like three different people
- To be clear, the monk comment was dunking on those constantly making weird excuses for their behaviour, not arguing in favour of stacking the rock lol.

I'm just tired of moralism and people coming up with the weirdest excuses to morally justify doing "bad thing" to themselves. Like just be honest and say you don't care, coming up with these galaxy brain theories about why you're right to do "x bad thing" is really tiring
- My theories are way better than this. Leave the rocks alone. Nature = it's not yours don't touch
- Average tl;dr novels rationalizing their behavior fans vs average "you can't tell me what to do" enjoyer

Perhaps “rockstacker” will become a new hexbear slur for people who destroy the environment.
E.g. - Shell oil Are a bunch of scummy rockstackers.

Cairns aren't great but please don't kick down every one you see while hiking. Doing so can be far more damaging than their building ever was, much less keeping them as is. From the NPS guidelines :
If you come across a cairn, do not disturb it. Don’t knock it down or add to it. Follow the guidelines from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics to ensure future hikers can navigate the trail and prevent damage to the landscape:
Do not tamper with cairns – If an intentional cairn is tampered with or an unauthorized one is built, then future visitors may become disoriented or even lost.
- Galxybrain tip: Don't Fuck With Things. If you see a thing and don't know why it's there, what it is or how it works, DONT FUCK WITH IT. You aren't a toddler and should have that kind of self control.

I read that thread and saw no struggle session lmao I miss everything :blob-no-thoughts:
- You missed people being mad at me for making an informative post telling them that messing with the hydrology does in fact have an impact on hydrology. You didn’t miss much substantial argument that wasn’t “but what if I really like doing it?”

I'm going to make an inukshuk somewhere in ireland and you cant stop me
- Honestly, just don't take a picture of it to encourage other people to do it too.
  
  The only pictures i take are landscapes (pictures of myself barely exist). A cree like myself making an inukshuk in the middle of the irish bush shouldn't do much.

We are creatures of rock stacking; it is part of what makes us human. When we can find no rocks to stack, we take shortcuts in the process of rock formation to procure rectilinear and Euclidean rocks to stack.
Stacking- instead of passively letting it all get smashed- is the order we have been bringing to the universe, through our labor, for 15,000 years.
