The post is about the experience of grief in response to internalizing the scale of earth and the negative human impact thereon. You responded to a post that implicitly shrugged off the negative impacts as inevitable or necessary with "I don't know why you're being downvoted," in essence, supporting the response. I wasn't making a straw man, or simplifying, I was pointing out a lack of recognition that said grief is kind of the topic at hand. Side note, saving humanity on Mars is cool and all, I'm totally for it, but in the event that actually happens, all of an entire planets lives and ecosystems will be destroyed. Exploration is aspirational, but, as a "backup plan," Mars is an incredibly bleak and sad future to rely on.
