“Sorry we don’t live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you.”
My supervisor doesn’t know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.
This is probably the number one reason I’d be giddy about it.
Our species desperately needs to learn some humility. We’re literally destroying our only habitat out of blind arrogance and greed.
If they didn’t come in peace. We’re boned, and everyone’s problems are over.
If they did, at some point they’re still going to need to use corrective action on our arrogant monkey asses.
Because all human history.
As an adult, it’s the biggest plothole in Trek to me. Species so far ahead of us taking our lead only a couple hundred years after we took a break bombing each other and managed to cobble together a single, shitty warp drive a Vulcan toddler could probably improve the design of at a casual glance. If there was a consortium of species, at our stage we’d correctly need to beg to get provisional Jr. membership after 1,000 years of probationary observation.
They really shouldn’t take us until our species agrees to stop letting people starve while others grow obese just to get the fat sucked out of them to do it again.
We as a people, culture, and society are frankly too selfish and horrible to do something as decent as that. Not our fault, we’ve been and continue to be conditioned by the owners to be a nation of irredeemable wannabe sociopaths at each other’s throats, but the fact remains that’s who we are.
Enjoy the cesspool, where greed/sociopathy is our only practiced value, and watching our poorie kids kill poorie kids (because this never happens at the nepo baby private schools) is our national pastime.
Not like we became horrible or anything, we always were. We’re a nation built by slaves owned by religious zealots on top of a genocide(of people who lived in homeostasis with the earth instead of actively setting it on fire) who’s top exports are tools of volume murder and blueprints for other nations to better exploit their citizenry for their elite’s private profit, not like there was ever any grace to lose.
Oh but hey the Axis sunk our pacific fleet once and we fought back after we were attacked which apparently makes us virtuous heroes(?) or something.
I think such protections have to happen BEFORE the market capitalists are able to use their immense hoards of power, that’s what capital is at scale, to capture their own governments and regulators that were supposed to act as a firewall protecting regular citizens from them, as the market capitalists have in the United States for almost half a century.
Once that happens. Good fucking luck. Greed doesn’t let go of what it acquires.
We eat the same stuff we’re made out of?!
Impossibru!
Justice would be them dying and the many societies people like them destroyed for self-enrichment that lived in equilibrium with nature, like the Native Americans, thriving again.
I agree with you. Justice isn’t on the table.
Be excellent to eachother, dolphin or kangaroo people!
Humans aren’t saying that, our habitat is in response to our actions, as translated by scientist’s measurements.
We can stop. We should stop. We won’t stop.
If that means you want to call our planet an eco-terrorist, that’s actually kind of funny. This isn’t about humans killing humans. This is about Humans attacking our only habitat as we rely on it for every breath we take and every bite we take, and our habitat responding predictably to our actions.
Eco-fascism would be putting a gun against people’s head and telling them to stop destroying our only habitat.
Acknowledging we’re destroying our only habitat isn’t eco-fascism, it’s just acceptance of the situation.
It’s not about justice. It’s about homeostasis. The guy and possibly his kids will be fine in their luxury climate bunkers as the world grows more bleak and they bark orders remotely until there’s no one left alive or dumb enough to keep listening.
The thing is though, what we’ve done and are doing right now will take millions of years to heal. Nothing to Earth’s 3.8 billion year old story of life, but effectively eternity to our monkey brains. I just don’t see our species putting down our shovel and living within our ecological means when that would mean necessary decline in our quality of life and intentional population control over time. We were warned for a century. We are feeling the effects. Scientists are noting new runaway effects conservative estimates didn’t account for. We need to stop 30 years ago, and we won’t even stop today.
I don’t consider it justice, I consider it wholesale refusal as a species to live within our ecological means. We just keep digging, and the consequences, the physics, don’t care why.
I don’t think there’s a specific one yet, though insults towards such people abound.
Its certainly an extention of misanthropy though.
Capitalism: “Growth or die!”
Earth: I mean… If that’s how it’s gotta be, you little assholes🤷👋🔥
It’s kind of gallows hilarious that for all the world’s religions worshipping ridiculous campfire ghost stories, we have a creator, we have a remarkable macro-organism mother consisting of millions of species, her story of hosting life going back 3.8 billion years, most living in homeostasis with their ecosystem.
But to our actual, not fucking ridiculous works of lazy fiction creator, Earth, we literally choose to treat her like our property to loot, rape, and pillage thoughtlessly, and continue to act as a cancer upon her eyes wide open. We as a species are so fucking weird, and not the good kind.

To be fair, the utter ruins of our public education system we traded for capitalist tax cuts ensures Americans aren’t known for our sharp anything.
I understand the point. But it misses an extremely important factor: technology.
Yes, humans have played pretend we were this world’s owners/masters since civilization began.
But our toolbox is filled with tech that can literally reverse terraform the climate against us, and we’re using it with abandon and without restraint. Add to that AI, CRISPR derived bioweapons, etc. We’ve gotten to the point where we cobble together yet another means of world wide destruction every decade or two, and we all know we’re too stupid and selfish not to for the prospect of short term, individual gain.
They were monkeys with spears and swords, a threat to rival monkey tribes, but in no way the entire species. We are monkeys with nukes and beyond.
