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.
The thing is, it’s really impossible to come to a logical conclusion of what the word “significant” represents in your reply. What does a “significant percentage” mean to you?
I’m not saying that there aren’t some Americans out there with really shitty views, but how do you actually decide what percentage of the population they are? What’s the end result of your statement here? What’s the point of you making this comment here?
Idk, I’m just exhausted by these types of statements in general. These “don’t forget that a lot of people are terrible!” suggestions from the sidelines. These “why are you upset, it’s not surprising!” statements… as if there’s any insight here.
I’m fucking frustrated too. I just think that the first step to becoming evil or indifferent to evil is believing that that’s just how most people are.
I feel that too. I don’t think that there’s something wrong with you. There’s something wrong with society. Nobody does things best the same way, and society has a heavy preference for a specific way of doing things.
Disagree. Being nice and having empathy is actually really fucking easy, at least to the people you directly interact with. It’s only hard when we’re burnt out, which capitalism is really good at making everyone.
