I kind of hate the “mankind is responsible for polluting the earth, without humans this world would be so much better” schtick that so many fake eco-conscious people spout.

Honestly it’s a reiteration of colorblindness, as if we all have the same ability and power to perpetuate harmful acts and that stopping minor-scale acts is the same as stopping major-scale ones.

Like “we all” didn’t chop down a rain forest or build a dam. “We all” didn’t poison our water and food. “We all” are not equally complicit. The same people who committed these acts made it impossible to not buy into and support them.

Consumer activism is a fucking lie, and so is any kind of advocacy for nature without first detaching from capitalist structures that keep us dependent on them for necessities. Anything else is just pacifying class guilt because you have the means to be objective with your dollar.
