I think humans knew this, once, and acted accordingly. Oh, how terribly far away we have come through this "civilization" thing we're living in now!
If we ever manage to accept that we are nothing but a fragment of the living ecosystem, it would be the humblest, yet possibly greatest discovery mankind has ever made

At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.

"How many acts of genocide does it take to make a genocide?"
As people debate the term "genocide," I think back to this question we asked the Biden administration just a few months ago, back in December.
Israeli forces have killed at least 10,000 people since then.

On a case-by-case basis many of these were accidents. In the aggregate they constitute an ethos: a determination to break things in a way that the next person won’t be able to put back together—to shatter a way of life so that in the future, no one will even try. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
