Resource extraction under capitalism must end for the world to survive.
My mind and outlook has become so polluted by the existential threat of climate disaster, that I cannot imagine a world where resource extraction for technology can be harmonious with the environment. I will admit this is most likely a flaw of my socialization. However, I read and understand the reports and the findings of scientists who are trained to understand and compile things, and they paint a very bleak future if current trends continue.
One thing that often times bothers muis is about anthromorpisation itself. The fact that humans mostly consider humans seperate from the environment. This is quite an odd fact since wei see the unity of existence, the vibrations of the strings around muis. Muir hand isnt just a hand but a manifestation of a collapsed quantum state whos signal is being processed and transmitted by specific clusters of cells in muir ocular organ.

Reinforced by mythos of the 'great man' - the myth of the hero. the individualist. the solo. the lone star. the outlaw. the rebel.
and how that thinking leads to the idea that nature has no 'inalienable' rights except the right to be subjugated and exploited by the 'great men' who 'conquered' and 'subjagated' their environments. then it's just a matter of time before the resource extracting class has convinced the rest of society that such and such part of the environment is ethical to exploit. or more insiduously, to convince society to expand the definition of what the "environment" is, because under this paradigm, the environment is the part of the everything that 'we' decided do not have an inalienable right to autonomy - or at least the debate as to whether or not it has those rights is tolerated by society at large.
Where we individually draw that line of respecting environment's autonomy might show some indication as to your views on environmentalism.
I'm writing this for myself, a scream of pain at witnessing everything burning. Probably into a void.
Why do you have more right to autonomy than a rock does. Justify it without using something that can be reduced to the existance of consciousness.
Not sure I can.
I am an anarchist - I believe in the dissolution of unjust hierarchies. I cannot escape the ouroboros of decay and growth.
