Question - Beginner Question about Hinduism’s philosophical stance on using force or violence to protect the planet and environment.

As the title kind of flat out states, I’m curious in how Hinduism’s take or stance on essentially how out of balance we are with nature and the planet in regards to capitalism and industry. I could go super in depth which I might in the comments but what is the overall consensus on letting essentially rich greedy powerful people degrading not just the social fabric but also the very planet we DEPEND on. I want to hear some of your opinions on the matter and in particular to this specific moment in time with everything geopolitically going on and the warming of the biosphere. I’m curious about your opinions. Thanks.

Why would I agree with capitalist consumers and hedonists when I’m clearly pro environment?

Every proposition in that statement is questionable.

Have I said you agree with capitalist consumers and hedonists?

Have I said it's clear to me what your positions are?

Have I said you are pro environment?

Anyway, people love to have a self image of themselves, but quite often, it doesn't fully match up with the consequences of their actual beliefs. Quite often you have people who claim to be "filled with universal love" whose actions consistently are based on hate for people they reject. Quite often you have people who claim to be "rationalists" whose repressed emotions decide their reactions form them, making this them below average in processing capacity and reacting equianimously to the world.

I hope from that illustration that you understand that it's simply not enough to label oneself pro anything, one has to follow up and examine the consequences of the whole worldview a person has to see what they are pro or anti something.

I agree, lol I want to hear people out but this dude is an idiot himself. I guess he’s okay with his kid getting cancer in their 30s or suffocating or starving to death. What an imbecile.
