humans are an essential part of the ecosystem. nearly every ecosystem on earth had humans as an essential part of its function. the earth would be worse off than before if we were gone suddenly overnight. send tweet

I don’t remember dinosaurs drilling for oil and dumping trash everywhere…

very gently: yes. some humans have been doing destruction recently. yes, some humans are living in unsustainable ways. yes, the world is suffering for the actions of the humans who exploit the natural world.

however.

this has not been the case for the vast majority of time. this is not currently the case for many people on the earth right now. we evolved alongside earth’s ecosystems, as they evolved alongside us. we are part of it. we are embedded in the world. we have never been seperate from it, and the idea that we are – that our actions somehow could have no consequences for the world at large – is the mindset that allowed the current crisis to reach where it is.

it’s. hard to truly get a sense of the scale of humans’ existence on the planet– under the readmore i’ve drawn out a rough timeline for you. it is very long, so i’ll put it under the cut.

suffice it to say: humans, homo sapiens, have existed on the earth for 315,000 years. we did not invent agriculture until 11,500 years ago. the industrial revolution, the drilling for oil and dumping plastic? that has happened only in the last 250 years. 

we are part of the world. we are in the world. some of us have very, very recently forgotten this fact. but we are remembering, and remembering quickly.

the earth needs us. it needs us to fix the things we’ve gotten wrong, yes. but it also needs us to be humans. to hunt, to burn, to care for the forests and the fields and the grasslands. it has always needed us. we are not interlopers here. we belong. we have simply forgotten our manners.

Keep reading

it is easy to just say ah humans are a plague no hope for us this is easy and comforting in its finality despair is easy it removes your responsibility from the equation

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book.  It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

there’s a timeskip

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

after losing control of the signal fire there’s a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyone’s hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and they’re still just kind of chilling!!!!

IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVEN’T READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK

“Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book. “

what they were amazed that leaving kids alone for fifteen minutes in a classroom doesn’t result in deaths

I only watched the movie so I had no idea the books had that added context.

With that in mind now I’m thinking that either all the stories I’ve seen online about teachers leaving students alone to “reenact it” or whatever are fake or said literature teacher never had the book.

Kyle Rittenhouse had murdered two people and injured a third. Bystanders pointed him out. Kyle had on latex gloves to help prevent fingerprints or gun powder residue. Several officers passed by (while he was carrying the rifle) and talked to him, and he still lives.

Not only that, KPD advised him to lie to the court about his real address for “safety purposes.”

Why you defending a mob of angry pedophiles and rapists who tried to murder a kid OP? Fucking piece of shit.

You answered your own question.

@liberalsarecool​ Why you whitewashing Kyle? He’s hispanic. 

@liberalsarecool

Now he can see it, kal. Not that he ever responds.

I bet Kyle can get a hefty defamation lawsuit going against whomever it was that drew that cartoon.

Possibly against people that repost it uncritically too.

@liberalsarecool Kyle did nothing wrong, pedo apologist.

What about shooting white men makes someone KKK?

The Kid is Latino. All of the Attackers where white people (In a BLM riot?). Two were Rapists and Pedophiles, the third who swallowed his Arm was (illegally) carrying a firearm and wanted to shoot Kyle in the head, also that fella was a convicted wife beater. 
I am sorry @liberalsarecool you should check what kind of people you are defending.

This convicted pedophile threw a Molotov after Kyle, so Kyle was the last Child he ever assaulted

That recipient of the Darwin Award and convicted Rapist, attacked Kyle and tried to grab Kyle’s gun, he was offed for it pretty effectively

That feller tried to shoot Kyle in the head and got some justice delivered to his arm in 5.56mm

If you ask Snopes.com by the way, they dance Limbo around the Attacker’s backgrounds. In their typical fashion they say: “Yes they are criminals, rapists and child molesters, but that hasn’t anything to do with the protest…so it’s not true, but a “mixture” ”

Rittenhouse was entirely justified in his shooting of the three men who attacked him and people are assmad about it because the modern culture makes martyrs out of anyone without reason. In your efforts to fight the power, you put pedophiles and literal criminals before normal people, and in doing so you ruin any and all chances to be seen as legitimate in the eyes of anyone else but yourselves. You can’t keep a movement alive with just inertia and “the movement” will die out once you realize you’re nothing but pawns being used.

>go to a protest while carrying a gun
>protest is full of pissed off people
>get surprised when you’re attacked

“hurrr he did nuthin wrong duhhh”

According to this assclown, you can violently assault someone with weapons and THEY’LL be the bad guy for defending themselves as long as the people around you are mad.

Someone having a gun and you being mad isn’t valid reason to assault them. Ever. So far, the only “bad guys” involved took a bullet from the person they tried to make into a victim and that’s a good thing that should happen more often.

That’s right, if you take a gun to a protest and provoke the people protesting you’re literally looking for a reason to shoot people and thus in the wrong.
