I think it's the other way around. You can't build that level of wealth unless you've already accepted evil as your Lord and Savior.

With the limited research I just did on my phone, I didn't see all this abundant evidence of trash piles.

I did learn about Middens, which were sort of trash piles. But they were mostly filled with shells, animal bones, and excrement, which seems more like a compost heap than a landfill.

Also, they were made predominantly by a few nomadic tribes. There are even other animals that make these "middens" like squirrels and octopi.

If you consider broken pottery and broken combs as garbage, then sure, it's a landfill. I can also say that the broken pottery is just a pile of dried clay pieces that were put back on the ground.

Bones, rocks, and other organic matter put on the ground hardly makes a place a landfill. Otherwise every cemetery, quarry, or a pile of pretty much anything is considered a landfill.

People haven't always been that way.. but massive, imperialist governments always have.

Just look at the Native American population pre-USA. They learned to coexist with nature and let basically nothing go to waste.

Tbf, I was calling it 3rd world country with iPhones. Although I'm pretty sure the USA was one of the countries that invented the terms "1st/2nd/3rd world countries" as a way of dividing themselves from the brown poors

Some people would literally rather nuke the planet than take a train to work...

FTFY

I honestly think that eco-sabatoge needs to become the norm.

We need to redefine the legal definition of 'violence' to include environmental destruction. Breaking and dismantling heavy machinery that aids in the planet's destruction (equipment for logging, drilling, building roads, etc.) should be treated as a form of self defense.

Except unlike 'Just Stop Oil' and other climate protest groups, the goal is not to get arrested for media attention. The movement should about getting arrested at all costs.

The CIAs even had a nifty guide from 1944 filled with ideas for how to fight fascism through sabatoge.

We gotta put the poors somewhere....../s

I never said that animal exploitation is good, just that it is 'natural' in the world. Solarpunk, as an idea, has everything to do with nature. Coexisting and living with it, rather than against it.

Is it wrong to use ladybugs as a form of pest control instead of harmful chemicals?

It's it wrong to ride a horse around a farm instead of an ATV or even an electric UTV?

Additionally, the definition of exploitation can vary wildly from person to person, and even moreso between cultures. So imo, pretty much everything that happens in the animal kingdom is party of solarpunk. The "good" and the "bad." As nothing is all good or all bad. Even murder can be justified in the most extreme cases (i.e. Hitler, Stalin, Trump, billionaire CEOs, etc )

But at least someone at Google gets to see your nude now! How kind of you to share with them :)
