The very roots of lawns are classist.

After the first monarchs (i.e. invader/warmonger/conquerors) took the lands and forests away from the common folk of europe, where the common man had previously subsisted very well and sustainably for hundreds if not thousands of years, the kings and nobility carved up the land among themselves and then razed it.

They usually planted only grass and maybe exotic flowers.

Because it was a "sign of wealth and nobility" to have a HUGE expanse of lawn with no edible crops or much of anything on it...to have a whole ton of land that 'wasn't being used'.

It signified that you had control over enough of the population to force them to grow and graze food FOR you, while you concerned yourself mostly with pleasure and parties (which is why monarchs were so fucking bored all the time!😂) ....mostly turning their spirits, bodies, and minds into a bowls of spiteful mush....

So, yeah. Lawns were not only racist, but a mindless, pointless, destructive, and unsustainable 'status symbol' (as most symbols of status usually are).

Makes me wonder how the ACTUAL original wildernesses in Europe were like, before all the serfdom nonsense?
