I don’t think it’s “prioritise humans over the planet” but more “we should be able to look after one another as a base level of being human. If we can’t figure that out how the hell can we focus on bigger things like the planet”. Not saying what we should and shouldn’t do but just throwing shade at our ability.
Honestly at this point I’d accept eco fascism. Arguing about “taking care of each other” while life support is failing and we enter triage levels of failure is inane
the problem there is it requires a power base to enforce - and all the power bases seemed determined to drive off the cliff (some are tapping the brakes but the rest are full throttle and rolling coal for lulz) at one speed or another - and a military industrial complex large enough to be strategically effective would be (like the US army) one of the largest polluters in the world.
I want something to change, I just don’t see ecofascism ( a really bad term btw ) as a possible avenue.
Victor Von Doom levels of resources/soverign agency might be able to. I think us humans are going to be a sad end note in some other species’ extraterrestrial archeology, after so many of them run into our radio and other emissions.
Since “general learning disability” and “Intellectual disability” is no longer called “retardation” does it matter?
I doubt anyone that says “retard” (or any variation) are actually referring in any way to ID and more to its original meaning of slow or stupid. I personally see no problem with calling people stupid (if warranted obviously).
You obviously shouldn’t call people with ID “retards” though. But imo that’s something entirely different.
I’m hoping Cretin makes a comeback, it’s got a certain feel I just think should be applied more often.
FAS baby could be used for offensive reasons but I also think it’s a pretty accurate description of tons of folks in the public sphere who very much aren’t helping our society writ large.
I’m probably going to hell for this post. I’m not a good person.
dude, right? we got lucky there; I was amazed to learn that he was a lifelong christian and preacher, and never let that cloud his message of kindness and humility he presented publicly. very christ-like, unlike so many christians.
While funny. This has always been a rather retarded take. Semantics. I for one value a biosphere capable of supporting humans > “the people”

Hopefully nature finds balance post humanity.
yeah I hope we don’t fuck it so thoroughly that something else can’t evolve up. squid or octopus would be awesome.
Unless they live sustainably and in tune with nature, it would again, be an unbalance.
Stop encouraging ableist insults.

I wonder if they get as offended when people use other outdated medical terms like idiot and imbecile.

Yeah that’s dark lol. Don’t worry about it, I’d say you could count on one hand the number of truly good people who’ve ever existed.
TY, that stat seems depressingly accurate.
At least we’ll always have Fred Rogers.
