    Who said anything about any of that lol?

    Personally I think humanity is a plague and deserves to go extinct.

    If humanity wants to survive as a species our only option is to try to find a way to live in small tribal communes, in tune with nature, with a sustainable economy. The west would have a dramatic lowering of quality of life, while the developing world would be massively boosted in terms of quality of life. None of that will happen, therefore we’re on track for societal collapse instead. Shame we’re killing so many other species with us, but hopefully earth recovers in X years.

        Very mature.

        Edit: This is the kind of shit that gets up votes and the mods leave up for hours around here? People telling me to kill myself?

      Humanity is not the problem, this system is. Capitalism is a plague, we’ve been infected. The cure is not to kill all of the infected. I get where you’re coming from tho.

      Humans have been beneficial actors in ecology for millenia. This abberstion we’re living through must end. A powerful and benefitial humanity woild be better for the ecological health of the earth.

        I disagree. Humans have been a net negative force since before agriculture. How many megafauna did we hunt to extinction so that we could spread?

          We may all have the potential to become Wendigo but that’s not all we are. It’s not all that we have been either. Braiding Sweetgrass is an interesting book on this subject. You can probably find a copy at a library if you’d like an in depth perspective from an indigenous person.

            We have caused a 6th mass extinction event. We are comparable to a meteor capable of almost sterilizing the planet, or a super volcano altering time on a geological scale. I pray we burn ourselves out before we can spread to other planets.
