We get what we deserve. We let the top 1% destroy our planet and also let them live the longest in their bunkers, while we deal with the repercussions of not having done enough. But I've noticed that folks on HN are very very fond of capitalism, so it's no point arguing against it on here and on the effects of wealth accumulation and greed.

people are very fond of it here -> there's no point arguing against it here? Backwards logic. If they're fond of it then they're the people to be arguing against, no?

Resource exploitation and destruction of ecosystems are direct results of capitalism and greed and neglect. I stopped bringing up arguments against capitalism on here generally due to the sheer amount of people in privileged circumstances that wouldn't change a thing about their ways. Also doesn't help that people in tech often times have no sense of empathy whatsoever, so its no use to argue about this on here.

We are destroying ecosystems so fast that there will be no frogs and we will regret it. The same with all the nature

Because we're triggering mass extinction events in the name of improving things, that's why.

Yeah, sure, capitalism, 1%, etc. Spoken like a 15yo who just saw some DSA- agitprop on TikTok and is now ready to solve the world's problems.

Just proves my point :)

The distribution here is bimodal. There are plenty of Elon-shilling exploit the solar system types, but also plenty of skeptical types who see all the futurism bullshit as a lever to maintain control.

Mice are having a great year

The ones genetically engineered to get Alzheimer's or the ones engineered to get cancer?

Plot twist, doesn't matter, even the control group is going to be dead soon if it's not already.

People here strive to be the ones hiding in the bunkers as the world burns.

Most humans would prefer hiding in a bunker to burning.

And far better to be hiding, than watching and playing a fiddle from atop some convenient high wall. Or plotting how to destroy your fellow alpha arsonists next.
