Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 days agoI hate to be a Debbie Downer, but we’re going to rape the shit out of this planet until it’s a lifeless husk. It is in our nature. And it’s not like we have to rape the whole thing. Just the surface.
Even if we got really good at recycling, we’ll always produce waste and use resources that can’t be reproduced in a reasonable timeframe. 8 billion of us and counting. Raping.

It is in our nature
No dumb dumb, it’s capitalism. A temporary system that has a beginning, and will in one way or another, end. We can change things. You’re not a slave to some nebulous “human nature”. Now, log off, stop doom scrolling, and go do something about it

No dumb dumb, it’s capitalism.
Is capitalism the only reason we produce waste? If capitalism ended tomorrow, so would all our consumption and production of unnatural material?
Use common sense, my bro. The only way we aren’t damaging the ecosystem is if we turn back into animals and the only waste we produce is feces. This isn’t rocket science.

Its not our nature, this entire thing is huffing the momentum of a couple thousand rich assholes who own everything. What we are wired to do is not change jack shit until we get fucked up. If we could conquer that and throw these assholes out you’ll see a better world in a single generation.

been thinking about this a lot, feeling so accelerationist because of it.

Mood AF. I hate feeling this way, but I almost feel things need to get worse before they get better.
I won’t actively work towards that, and I’ll work to make my community and city a better place in the midst of that. But I think humanity will only change when things are really drastic.

Eh. Still 8 billion people and counting consuming and generating unnatural waste.
We will always be chipping away at our environment unless we turn back into animals and the only waste we produce is organic.

That still leaves one viable choice with our current technology: find a way to live in balance. Which is totally not happening with the current zeitgeist.
