- x5n1 11y agoI used to blame the rich, but the fact is that they are through Capitalism only feeding human desires. In this case I think it's not them, it's human beings with unlimited desires and all these other behaviors tuned for maximum exploitation of the environment, combined with a highly efficient system which encourages just that. People in general are to blame for the way we are acting on this planet. Creating more and more people, being irresponsible, etc. We all do it together, every time we do anything we are partaking in the human conspiracy to destroy the environment, or as we like to call it the economy.
- yongjik 11y agoThat's quite an odd expression for a group of people that includes, among others, those who drive.
- anexprogrammer 11y agoAre you meaning the 1%? The global 1% who have cars, use TVs, computers, have centrally heated homes and earn $30k or more? That pretty much covers all of HN and Washington Post readers I'd say.
