      Kinda hate that analogy because you’re basically saying that destroying the environment is just the natural way all humans are.

      That’s the literal point of the OP - that humans are vast and diverse and lots of them give a shit and aren’t trying to actively harm everything around them. The Internet makes you think the worst of humanity represents all of it.

        I on the other hand find it extremely accurate. Termite in the untouched nature wont eat the house, but build one there and it will take a bite.

        Hidden village in the amazon can live in harmony with nature, but give them some gas, electric lights and aggregate and i bet that bad boy will be running a lot.
