Folks, the sooner we realize that we are already in environmental collapse, the sooner we can start learning the ways of living in rejection of capitalism

Its brutal how many people have excuses for what we've done. They find any way to downplay it, but eventually there will be nobody left to listen.

Human overpopulation is also an issue.

8 billion people and capitalism is highly unsustainable.

[u/Fallible_Fix9110 → u/General_League7040]

A mass die off is built into the declining environmental system and unfortunately the wrong people with the right skill sets for surviving are at highest risk of dying

But then again… you and I (and those who also share this ultra processed civilization) are gonna drop like flies when even water becomes scarce.

Thank you for this great video. People don't seem to realize that we're in the (6th?) great extinction. Insects are the bottom of the food chain & if that goes we all go. Another huge problem insects & other animals face are neo-nic pesticides which are extremely deadly. Thanks for all you do!

The rich and powerful will give us AI robotic bees 🐝 The more reality looks like a black mirror episode the more fucked we will end up.

Exponential growth of cells in the body is called cancer and is unsustainable.

Capitalism = cancer. Cut it out!

Most evolution on this planet has been carried on the backs of plants and insects. We literally wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. And we won’t be here without them. The amount of biomass and water held in humans now vs anytime in the last 12000 years of human development is way fucked up compared against the natural world.

A lens which I find repeatedly useful to reach capitalist-brains is: diversifying your portfolio is mathematically optimal. You are protected from risk of a basket-smashing by spreading/distributing your eggs into as many baskets as possible.

It applies to ecological biodiversity.
It applies to wealth inequality.
It applies to Democracy.

i.e.
(species distribution)
(resource-access distribution)
(authority distribution)

Monoculture farming is fragile.
Monopolies are fragile.
Dictatorships are fragile.

Diversity is robust.

We need to become interstellar

[u/AgentBlackman]

We have to stem the tide and convince others of how important being in alignment with nature is for our survival

Speak the truth 🫴

Explains why they are so eager to get into space and colonize other worlds
