    Yep, same in America. 10-seconds after we wiped out malaria we told the rest of the world to get fucked. “Oh, you can produce DDT, but we won’t trade with you if you do.”

    A decade-long push and we could have eradicated malaria, then banned it. We got ours, fuck the rest of you. Now it’s a brown people problem, just as intended.

    That foul removed, Rachael Carlson, and her cute little book Silent Spring, killed far more humans than Hitler and Stalin combined ever dreamed about.
