i feel like even leftists have stopped caring about the environment. if we prioritized the environment in politics and laws we would rapidly see capitalism collapse and people’s lives would improve.

I think a lot of people have lost hope. With that being said I do think that defeating capitalism will lead to environmental betterment, rather than environmental betterment leading to the defeat of capitalism. With that being said I appreciate the sentiment you are putting out!

Both sides are bad. It isn’t a right vs left issue anymore. It’s all about who has money and who’s willing to take the bribe. There’s more money in getting paid off to vote in favor of large corporations and (usually) environmental destruction. Our entire government no matter their party affiliation is corrupt and greedy and unless we get rid of them and vote in new DESERVING people it’s never going to change.

capitalism relies on the demise of our natural areas and environment. if we protect species and natural areas and curb growth the system as we know it will fall apart because if the economy and profits aren’t constantly growing that means the business is failing

I appreciate that perspective for sure, but I do think that the system that prioritizes profits will not allow this to happen with the environment, as we have seen the shrinking of protected lands for the sake of profit. I love your perspective and passion tho and I think what you are saying is well guided:)
