Mother Earth has been abused

[TshaiRedhair]

All European tradition, Marxism included, has conspired to defy the natural order of all things. Mother Earth has been abused, the powers have been abused, and this cannot go on forever. No theory can alter that simple fact. Mother Earth will retaliate, the whole environment will retaliate, and the abusers will be eliminated.

2. I don't see that "Mother Earth" has been abused, but rather,

the human race is reducing the Earth's capabilities to adequately support it's life forms. Earth itself, will simply continue to spin it's way toward the oblivion as the Sun turns into a red giant in about 7+ billion years from now regardless of the effects of human activities. We are definitely "bit players" in the Earth's 12 billion year existence. By that time, there will be no observable trace of the Earth or the Solar system. Only the red glow of our Sun's dying flames as it heads toward it's own destiny black hole. After that, who knows? Perhaps another "big bang" and a new Universe starts over.

RETALIATE

re·tal·i·ate

"To return like for like, especially evil for evil."

There is no definition that you can find and present that says anything about "consciousness."

12. Retaliation implies will

The earth doesn't have that.
Neither does the rake that gets stepped on and smacks one in the face.

16. "To return like for like, especially evil for evil."

This seems to support my contention.

Retaliation is a deliberate act. A non-deliberate act following an earlier act would be a consequence.

But to return evil for evil would require an awareness of evil and an ability to choose from a variety of options, one that was evil.

All these things bespeak consciousness, particularly one aligned towards morality.

18. "bespeaks"? lol

Thanks!

7. "Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency...

...When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money." ~ Alanis Obomsawin

9. Thank you for your quote, and your OP.

I wish there was some way we could stop them; but they seem very intent on trying to destroy the earth.

It is a terrible thing to comprehend, how they can, without feeling any remorse whatsoever, destroy any living thing that is in the way of their insane, ravenous appetites so casually.
