That is not apples to apples. One is scientific and an opinion on our effect on this living breathing rock. The other is objectively correct. Capitalism is everywhere. In varying degrees and control.
Capitalism is everywhere. So are our efforts to destroy our ecosystem. Changing it at this point seems unrealistic. I mean, you could make this point, but it is indeed defeatist. But to be fair, on short term I would also pick severely limiting and controlling capitalism over a sudden revolution. As a start, let’s get rid of billionaires. That would help making any change further down the road, because there won’t be a class of people with incredible power that will try to prevent any change.
It’s not defeatist to say the sky is blue and we breath oxygen but we need to optimize keeping the sky blue and the right amount of oxygen. Would I be ok with an alternative? Absolutely. But I don’t see one and I am asking all that object my observation to present a viable alternative.
This is a bit defeatist, wouldn’t you agree? A lot of people use the same argument to fight against climate protection actions
