No, those are eco fascist talking points. Eco fascism is still fascism. Humanity isn’t a virus, and this system isn’t normal or “in our nature” or similar drivel. This is the result of capitalism and overconsumption driven by the 1% inundating us with an incessant stream of propaganda (ads) that are explicitly designed to psychologically manipulate us. America is one of the biggest offenders for this, but other countries do it as well.
We don’t need to all have cars, the latest clothes/tech, eat meat for every meal, have as many kids as possible, live in spread out suburban hellscapes with large yards and oversized houses, etc. We are capable of turning things around and establishing that equilibrium with our environment where we can thrive alongside nature. We’re a long way off from it, but more people are seeing the cracks in the system and starting to realize we need major changes.
Ok doomer. I love how convenient the “It’s too late! We’re already fucked and we’ll never change!” narrative is for just sitting back and doing nothing to make things better. I understand it’s hard, so live checked out and in a spiral of fear and anger at humanity if you want while those of us who give a shit try to fight back and make changes.
Humans aren’t a monolith, and putting yourself over anyone else isn’t a trait inherent to humanity. Plenty of cultures value the group over the individual, just not America, and America is paying for it as it sets itself on fire.
