    The idea that untouched nature progresses toward some idealized equilibrium isn’t true, unfortunately. Conservation takes work. It has always taken work. It took work even when this land was solely occupied by indigenous people. We’re already in the game and just withdrawing isn’t an option.

      Life on Earth existed for hundreds of millions of years before human industrialisation, why are we so necessary to it’s continuation? Why isn’t withdrawing to a certain extent an option? Sounds like you’re arguing for the contradiction of infinite growth like a good capitalist.

        I am not even going to respond other than to say your arguments are so dumb, like for real.

        like a good capitalist

        you probably stack rocks

        colonizer-brained

        seriously, just shut up.

        Hmm, comrade I think the other commentor is a bit rude, and your ‘name-calling’ or rather insinuations by using similies is also a bit uncalled for.

        By similie I am referring to, the use of “…infinite growth like a good capitalist”

        It doesn’t really seem fair to me to levy a claim like that or make that inference since nothing the other commentor said really–to me at least–indicates them advocating for infinite growth.
