Best not to feed the Butterfly, at this point I think they do it on purpose to rile us up.

how the fuck was a century with 2 world wars, the cold war, iron curtain etc. a fuck around century

Because exactly those things you describe (as well as some other factors/events) were reckless, violent experimenting (ideological, military, technological). And now we’re finding out. Like I’m not sure if you’re aware but the world changed ridiculously fast during the 1900s and now the early 2000s compared to the rest of history.

They burned coal like crazy in 19th century, killed all the whales, soaked everything in mercury, genocide was the name of the game.

The centuries before were absolutely horrible for lower classes. XXth century had seen an incredible rise in quality of life for the majority of the population.

Many STEM grads are class traitors, we can’t act like academic institutions didn’t play a direct role in funnelling skilful students into military and private medsci employment while working diligently to instill as much punishment for empathy as possible into their programs.

The worst thing about this treason, is that we hope someone can help us do better while we solve the cognitive dissonance by solving everything through techonlogy, even politics. And when we advance through life, we end up more conservative because we have debts for housing, a comfortable lifestyle and it is hard to give up.
orioler25@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It really isn’t hard to give up, people are forced to all the time and do fine. As I said, STEM industries and their respective academic institutions attract and reward people who wouldn’t give it up. They’re already liberals by merit of tolerating the obvious immorality of that system, and so material luxury is particularly effective at disarming whatever middling resistance they may have.

The betrayal of generations from the 20th century will be remembered for thousands of years.
That is not hyperbole.

It’s very interesting that the nukes dropped will be mentioned, but the real death toll of the century was plain simple greed and selfishness. Those two working together have and will kill countless more in the upcoming century

Yes, how disturbing is it that the dropping of the nuclear bombs on Japan will be most useful to historians not as a hyperbolic tragedy that stood alone but as a way to explain the much broader mass slaughter of humans that the 20th century perpetrated and locked in for thousands of years?

But how will we get more money to the shareholders if we stop pushing humanity towards extinction!?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
see there’s your problem. shareholders. thinking of them as plural.

Are those generations really worse than those before it? Yes the environmental destruction is unparalleled but so were also the tools that enable that. In the Stone Age people could not have even come close to doing what we are doing eight now to the environment even if they wanted too.
The term the tragedy of the commons originally referred to English cattle herders letting their cows overgraze public land because if they don’t overgraze it some other herders would do it instead. Stories like this are everywhere in history. The Vikings cut down every single tree in Iceland and the Faroe islands when they arrived with no care for the environmental whatsoever.
Whaling, the clubbing of seals, the extinction of the dodo. There are countless examples. And if we are talking pure human to human cruelty, no war in the 20th century comes close to what the mongols did.
The people of the 20th century were not more cruel or selfish than previous ones. They were simply the first ones given the tools and ability to pollute the whole earth.

I am uninterested in comparing the moral qualities of generations. Humans are humans.
I am interested in the scale of the violence done by these generations against the earth as it will never be able to be surpassed without fully annihilating the human race.
800 years from now no one is going to care how sorry everyone was now about the damage they have done, what matters is the impact.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The real significance of the term “tragedy of the commons” was that it was part of a campaign of PR bullshit used to justify Enclosure, where wealthy elites seized common land as their private property, land that had in fact been used and managed effectively as a public resource for centuries prior.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Yes, that’s what makes them worse.

Boomers lived through the easiest, most rewarding period of American history and immediately and repeatedly ensured that no cohort following them would ever have the same again.
As a group, they are the weakest, most selfish, and least adaptable generation in modern history.

we’re really just starting to feel the ramifications of the industrial age, we will not be the villains because at least we did try to do something. the robber barons are the true villains in this. they created annd exasperated the problem while creating the race to riches that continues with the oil industry ignoring the problems they create
the early years of just pumping coal exhaust from factories, acid rain from uncontrolled diesel fuel burning and the nuclear waste buildup will compound to create a truly ugly mess.
The Handford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is 586 square miles that is fucked for thousands of years. even if we find a clean way to power the world. It will keep polluting the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean for much of this time and the Federal Government keeps cutting funding for the cleanup.
in my opinion, the whole world needs to help South Americans restore the Amazon and we in North America need to develop a solution to the Pine Beetle, or start planting invasive trees to take over when they destroy all the pine forests. It should be every humans roll to plant a tree once a year. If we cared more about plant life, we’d make a huge impact now
We also need to find leaders who will embrace wind and solar as our future and tax the fuck out of carbon based energy
we can find ways to slow and possibly even reverse this process but unfortunately the current powers that be don’t give a fuck
when the oceans start consuming the big coastal cities, only then will it become a priority

Miami begs to differ lol, not that I can blame Miami, they are fucked anyways since everything is built on limestone which is very soluble to water… but I wish they would do their whole “stick their head in the sand” thing in a way that was less destructive to the rest of us.

While your sentiment is in the right place, trees are not a one size fits all solution. There’s a variety of ecosystems on this planet, and not all are densely packed forest. Instead of everybody just planting a tree, it’s important to think about what kind of tree and if a tree would be beneficial at all. Sometimes planting a native grass would be a lot more beneficial in a specific context.
One other thing is that the places where pine beetles are the most destructive are monocrop pine forests. If you have diversity in your forests, it makes them more resillent to this kind of thing.
It should be every human’s role to learn about how their local ecosystem works and how to exist within it in a reciprocal way.
Lojcs@piefed.social 1 month ago
I don’t think it’s that justified to cast 20th century generations as villains as a whole. Most people definitely didn’t possess a murderous intent to erase human race. And I certainly can’t blame people for overdoing it with environmental harm when the increase in their own quality of life was tied to those technologies causing the harm. It feels like blaming a starving person who just got access to abundant food for giving themselves refeeding syndrome
