I've had the bottle cap in my nose multiple times... nobody's tricking me into not liking it.

Yes: I have the privilege of living in a developed 21st century world where I don't need to deal with stuff like this. Proud of it.

I'm well past being told to eat my vegetables because children in Africa are starving.

The solution is to expand the pie for everybody, not to throw our arms up and return to living in caves in harmony with "nature". Technology and progress solve this.

Nobody's forcing you to buy products in plastic bottles. It would actually be better if you didn't. "Technology and progress" are so far producing mountains of trash and pollution that you're privileged to not have to see, unlike those children in Africa, and other impoverished places where your garbage washes up. You're proud of winning the lottery. Have some self-awareness.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of rotating an object?
