It’s not us a “species” which is disgusting. It’s capitalism and a history of settler-colonialism which enforce disgusting behaviour.

Humans learn through language and culture. Yes at the moment the vast majority of humans blindly follow along in behaving in an abhorrent manner, but that doesn’t mean our fate is sealed or that we’re incapable of change, and building a new culture which encourages cooperative and better behaviour.

This nihilistic right wing nonsense is just an excuse not to attempt to build something better. It’s lazy thinking and deeply unscientific.

France and Israel still have tons of communes. The US used to have thousands as well.

Yeah, capitalism is what caused all the world wars, even the little battles those guys with the swords did back in 900BC.

You can’t just shift the blame for everything in the world on that one thing you hate, just doesn’t work like that
