        Capitalism is a parasite.

        Humanity when we view nature as equal to us is beneficial to nature.

        But we kinda lost the plot once we thought god gave us the earth to pillage

        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.
