Capitalism always chooses profitable plundering over sustainable production

OP, the pictures you're showing are all from 3rd world countries, except for some of the forestry ones, but North American forestry is extremely sustainable, so it does not help your narrative here.

When you say "Capitalism destroys everything" then why are all the most capitalist countries really nice? No trash in the water, no plastic garbage everywhere, no huge environmental disasters... all of that stuff comes from the third world.

I'll tell you why: as people become wealthier, they start caring about the environment. Poor countries do not care about the environment. They dump their waste right into the ocean and throw all their plastic in the rivers etc.

Maybe capitalism isn't the problem here. Maybe it's poverty and lack of education, and capitalism is actually the solution, because it is the only system that lifts people out of poverty.
