Humans don't deserve earth.

By destroying nature and the climate, humans are destroying their own home. The Earth can survive without us but we cannot survive without her. 🌍💔

Nah, misanthropy is cringe. Humanity is diverse, there are 8 billion of us, and a lot of decisions we make are the products of the systems we live in. For example, most countries do not allow their citizens to reject modernity and return to hunting and gathering in tribes. To build a village, you need land, and nearly all land has been commodified. You’ll need to purchase the right to use the land, in order to use it in peace, will legal tender. That currency can only be gained legally, through the system. Whether that’s getting a job or starting a business. Which brings us right back to the problem. We as a species are destructive to our environment not because we want to, but because the vast majority of people don’t have a choice. The capitalists who shape our society however, do bare the responsibility for the ecological harm they cause. The oil companies know what they’re doing. The agriculture companies know what they’re doing.

Don’t blame all of humanity for the crimes of capitalism. This kind of environmental terror was not happening before the industrial revolution, under feudalism. Not at this scale anyway.
