There were grassroots anti-littering campaigns all over the place back then, so it was an easy sentiment to tap into. It's really hard to convey how OK everyone used to be about littering.
If you've seen Anchorman there's a little bit where the news team are eating hotdogs and walking through a park. They come up to a trash can but throw their dogs on the ground before tipping the can over. Then they just walk away and there's no explanation. That was normal life until the 80s.

Did you litter a lot before you saw the ad? Don’t let the nostalgia cloud your thinking.

Just like carbon footprint was invented by British Petroleum.

Pat Harkin was a pretty close friend of Terry's - not your ordinary fan. He's a good guy and he won't have done this if he thought Terry would have had a problem with it.

These were published in a newspaper though, so I’m fine with it personally.

I bet there will be some 'problematic' content. So I am calling for them to be banned. Now.

Don't know of a lot of Englishmen exploited by Shakespeare but then again I'm just a Native who has never been there. It's ok to both appreciate the interpretation of the message while also advocating against the exploitation of a people WHILE pointing out the plastic lobby used this as a deterrent for ideas about plastic fines and bans being passed around Washington by shifting the blame to the consumers to fix the toxic pollution they caused. More than one thing can be true at once.

He literally didn’t want any of his unpublished works to be published.
That’s why the data for all his unfinished novels were destroyed by steamroller.

Virtually all country borders in the world have been defined by war

Russian invading Kiev is an excellent point. But the dissidents being what made the difference in the election in Crimea/Donbas before the war is far fetched. Have a look at the battle field news from non-Western medias in those places. India Times for instance.

Russia has been sending dissidents into those areas for years to sway perception that they are more pro-Russian than they are. Once those areas are under Russian control, Putin will move onto others. He’s following the plan laid out in Foundation of Geopolitics. Plus, if it was just about those regions, why are they pushing to Kiev?
Bottom line: Ukraine is a sovereign nation and Russia invaded. How would you react if a foreign nation invaded your country?

True. But still you have much higher chances of surviving and not being abused by the Russian army as a civilian if don't try to shoot them! This is suicide and should not me romanticized at all

It's not the whole country; it's Crimea and Donbas region, where the vast majority of people speak Russian and voted for pro Russian president before the coup in 2014. This is the way to go for the people, as Elon Musk suggested. The other option is essentially incentivise young people to commit suicide. You think civilians with guns are cool... It's suicide. This is not a movie.
