The "Humans are the Virus" line is one of the sneakiest moves you'll run into the New Age -> Alt Right pipeline

Embrace the paradox, humans are arguably the greatest rights violators in all forms of violence, but they are also the only beings capable of granting rights through moral agency. The paradox is also true of anthropocentric climate change, it's creator, but also it's only possible resolver. The environment only has instrumental value to conscious beings so it would miss the mark to assume the absence of humans is in anyone's (including animals) best interest.

Guess we should just try to get through each others thick skulls instead of being edgy :/
