Too often “the world is literally burning” rhetoric tips over into “humans are the virus and will always screw up the world,” ignoring the fact that other cultures have consistently managed to find ways to live in the natural world without destroying it.
It reduces the worst of western racist capitalism to “human nature” and not a specific system of exploitation that has clear beneficiaries and a very specific logic that ignores whole swaths of human history, biology, ethics, morality.
“Humans have always been this way” absolves many of even attempting to come up with solutions that would make the future moderately bearable.
