The last panel has a point though.
We have literally lost our connection to nature to the point we are actively destroying our ability to survive on this planet as a species for ephemeral, arbitrary gain for a few elite individuals and the majority of people see no problems with it.
The biggest mistake man ever made was to believe ourselves to be above nature, that it is something to which we were divinely given ownership over, to be used and discarded as we saw fit, instead of something we are intrinsically part of.
Humans are above nature in many very real and very tangible ways, and have been since the invention of fire or clothing or farming or any number of other things. It is not a mistake to believe that.
The mistake is in believing that the foundation doesn’t matter because you’re above it.
Yeah, what we’re doing now is exactly because we detached outself from the nature, which makes us couldn’t see how the change of the natural environment would affect our own survival. We’re literally blind by our own power.
plus we get a lot of health issues by the loss of the microbiota we used to cultivate from closer contact with nature
That was not at all the point the comic was making, so whoosh? 💨
@JUNlPER
this is always one that gets me. so many people are unable to realize that you can present characters doing something bad without endorsing it. not sure when this kind of baby brained thing started but its so silly to see so often@ducktales2020
more than anything they conflate Presenting Something with Agreeing With Something, but don’t apply it to good guy/bad guy narratives. when everyone’s bad they short circuit
Is THAT why they call gay men “bears”? I always thought it was just because they were hairy…
