"Sorry we don't live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you."

My supervisor doesn't know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.

In addition to the others that replied to you:

The owners made an example of the journalist that broke the Panama Papers story.

I just wish there were a way to preserve these records in a format with enough longevity to survive until the next sapient species evolves after we destroy ourselves and the human habitability of the planet for a couple million years.

They could use the warning against indulging greed and willful ignorance, and we deserve to have others laughing at our species' expense through time. We inherited paradise just to set it on fire eyes wide open. It's an extremely low bar, but I hope the next global apex predator chooses to do better.

I'd rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.

We eat the same stuff we're made out of?!

Imagine taking pride in this fucking gold plated cesspool we call the US.

It boggles the mind.

Justice would be them dying and the many societies people like them destroyed for self-enrichment that lived in equilibrium with nature, like the Native Americans, thriving again.

I agree with you. Justice isn't on the table.

Humans aren't saying that, our habitat is in response to our actions, as translated by scientist's measurements.

We can stop. We should stop. We won't stop.

If that means you want to call our planet an eco-terrorist, that's actually kind of funny. This isn't about humans killing humans. This is about Humans attacking our only habitat as we rely on it for every breath we take and every bite we take, and our habitat responding predictably to our actions.

Eco-fascism would be putting a gun against people's head and telling them to stop destroying our only habitat.

Acknowledging we're destroying our only habitat isn't eco-fascism, it's just acceptance of the situation.

It's not about justice. It's about homeostasis. The guy and possibly his kids will be fine in their luxury climate bunkers as the world grows more bleak and they bark orders remotely until there's no one left alive or dumb enough to keep listening.

The thing is though, what we've done and are doing right now will take millions of years to heal. Nothing to Earth's 3.8 billion year old story of life, but effectively eternity to our monkey brains. I just don't see our species putting down our shovel and living within our ecological means when that would mean necessary decline in our quality of life and intentional population control over time. We were warned for a century. We are feeling the effects. Scientists are noting new runaway effects conservative estimates didn't account for. We need to stop 30 years ago, and we won't even stop today.

I don't consider it justice, I consider it wholesale refusal as a species to live within our ecological means. We just keep digging, and the consequences, the physics, don't care why.

Sometimes, you just need to wipe the drawing board clean and start over. 🤷👋 🔥
