We’re being eaten alive.
maybe. it might also be that most of the damage is the result of a few particular bad actors… arguably a large amount of the runaway environmental destruction we’ve witnessed is the accumulated result of a very small portion of the population being allowed to do whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want for ~200 years?
we could test this theory out, empirically. I propose an experiment where we, um, neutralize, the top 1% who directly facilitate eco-cide in pursuit of corporate profits and then we’ll see if nature improves.
Just remember, there’s no such thing as infinite growth. These people are just getting better at extracting wealth from us.
All of this extraction will have dire consequences.
While the rest of us got a trillion dollars poorer.
It’s always jarring to me just how ugly the “superwealthy” are. It’s like their blatant greed and disregard for others can’t be hidden however hard they might try.
