Sltldr: “They’re just throwing away money, planting trees in the desert for them to die.”
The Great Green Wall is a top down, big government intervention that has little to no local buy-in and isn’t sustainable without continued big government funding.
Not surprisingly, the funding has mostly dried up, and so has the land.

Alternative summary feels intentionally misleading, when it’s clear your intention was not to summarise but start a discussion on a related tangent (which is appreciated).
Oh, yeah, I remember the time someone provided a summary of Tom Sawyer, and when I thought it was lacking, I gave an “alternative summary” which was a crappy, nakedly biased opinion of elements not even in the book and mostly focused on how Huckleberry Finn is a way better character in his book. That’s how summaries work.

Do I need to point you to an actual definition of a “summary”? I’ve been chalking it up to tankie bad-faith, but at this point, I’m wondering if it’s just aggressive tankie stupidity.
“With the additional information?” Okay, I’m back to assuming bad-faith over illiteracy. Motherfucker, 1) that’s outside the boundaries of a summary, and more importantly 2) none of what you said is in the article. Like that’s not a summary. That’s not even an analysis. A “TL;DR” isn’t “here’s my shitty opinion on this topic not at all explored in the article.”

Yes. Did you know that the word comes from the German Autismus, coined as an alternative to the term at the time “autoerotism”? Derives from Greek “autós + ismós” – “self-ism”.
