    “The problem is people” is eco-fascist rhetoric. It’s not indigenous people’s fault that it’s 100 degrees in the arctic.

      Indigenous to where? We’re all the indigenous peoples of Earth.

      And I never said it’s all people. Not all people have blue eyes, not all people are gay, not all people speak any certain language or live any certain place, not all people obsessively amass personal wealth to the detriment of others and/or their environment.

      The problem doesn’t have to be all people for the problem to be people.

      Every capitalist society on Earth once started as “Indigenous people” that grew and evolved in to what we have today.

        There’s a lot to unpack here.

        • how many capitalist societies do you think there are?
        • is there some issue with the term indigenous people?
        • do you think that if one (or multiple?) societies have capitalism, that growing and evolving will always result in capitalism?

          I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

          1. That depends on how you want to break things down. Is all of humanity one society? Do we break it down at the country level? Something smaller?
          2. Again, I don’t know what you mean.
          3. Nope, but capitalist societies came from somewhere. All humans have a common ancestor, and started as indigenous people. At some point most of them decided to adopt capitalism.

      No it’s the Chinese communist party building and opening a new coal power plant every week, year after year.
