Fuck the Israeli government 100%, but it's illegal to collect rainwater in certain US cities, too.

But nobody restricts your regular water supply to less than half of what is considered the bare minimum by the UN.

But that's not what's highlighted in your meme.

Be angry at the right things. As long as they keep convincing us to be angry at scarecrows the status quo won't change.

What do you want to tell me with that?

It's illegal pretty much anywhere west of the Mississippi River if I recall correctly.

Damn what are cops going to do, confiscate my buckets? Did you know it's possible to make a diy bucket by melting down ar-15s? You can buy people and harvested organs from the dark web so chances are you can get buckets on there too. Become ungovernable.
