[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes. (lemmy.world)

You will if we manage to trigger another mass extinction due to dying seas and you choke to death on clouds of hydrogen sulfide. Or you will care about the environment as you starve to death after our global breadbaskets collapse due to skyrocketing temperatures. We already have WW2-level casualties locked in due to climate by the end of the century. Our efforts right now are trying to keep them merely to WW2-levels, rather than "global nuclear war" levels.

You do not live independent of this planet's biosphere. You are an animal that exists atop a vast pyramid of life below you, and you are completely and utterly dependent on the services of life below you provides. You are like a CEO saying, "I don't care what happens to the people I employ. If they die, I'll be fine."

Ignorant. Suicidal. Hubris.

My dude, I'm as autistic as the next person on this website, but even I gotta say: You will not make it on the internet if you don't learn to recognize sarcasm.

A tip: "You got me, I actually [complete opposite of what I've been saying for the rest of this thread]" is typically sarcasm.
