    This is wildly inaccurate and borderline racist. Anyone who thinks that they’re incapable of renting and operating a chainsaw and cutting everything down is just a racist.

    Hang on I thought we were implying a very specific subset of humans were responsible for killing and raping everyone, is that not racism or is it only racist when it’s towards the people I have no ill will for?

      CEO of a mega corporation is not a race. There is no history of nations depriving CEOs of their land and then destroying it, rendering them incapable of basic subsistence level survival.

        Ah ok sometimes these posts are referring to “europeans” or “white people”.

          I mean, history occurred as it occurred. We still live with the effects of European colonization, it’s not an accident that you have to go through over $2 trillion of wealth on Forbes’ billionaire list before anyone who isn’t European descent pops up. That doesn’t mean anything about all white people, the vast majority being nowhere near as wealthy. But their ethnicity is far less important than the culture of exploitation and consumerism that is foisted on everyone else in order to make them money.

          They’re just talking about people who are disgustingly privileged and exploitative. Historically that’s people with pale skin.
