    Humans play pretend we own the Earth, then get angry at each other while carving it up a little finer and finer, usually with blood or threats of blood.

    The reality is, Earth owns us. Always has. We are subject to it.

    We’ve been very, very naughty subjects.

    Earth is in the process of handling us for that.

    If you disagree with any of this, knock yourself out, the Earth doesn’t care. All the corporate and governmental attempts at ignoring/bribing/negotiating with physics for decades as they forcefeed a willfully ignorant populace microplastics has been gallows hilarious though. Should have been a better species. 🤷‍♂️

    (On the bright side, the capitalists, fascists, and greed apologists will all get what’s coming to them, and the cultures that did live in homeostasis with the Earth, who were largely killed in the name of profit and conquest, may have been exterminated, but they will not have to experience the shame of watching the world end by their own greedy hands.)
