why are you stressing yourself with shit that your not even gonna be alive to see? your kids wont even be alive to see that shit, so who gives a fuck?
An extremely imprudent and selfish mentality, but one that is all too common.

^^ Because we're all supposed to be mother Hen to earth, and go and hug trees and be nice to everyone, even though life is pointless and there is no afterlife............apparently
What has afterlife to do with the will to preserve nature, and ultimately, life, for future generations? I don’t understand your logic. Life is pointless, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t cherish and try to preserve it rather than continue to destroy it at the pace we currently are.

You'd think the Left would use religion as a tool, instead of bashing it to death.
I see no reason as to why religion should be used as a tool when talking about ”environmentalism”. Christianity, for one, is a human-centered religion, meaning that humans are perceived as being
above nature (incorrect) when it comes to status, rather than being
a part of nature (correct). Human-centered thinking is flawed. ”The Earth is here to serve man; man is here to serve God.” Etc. This is a detrimental worldview because it basically encourages people to exploit nature to satisfy their own needs, and so continue to destroy vital biodiversity. The economic system (and fundamentally, our civilization), based on continuous growth, is also to blame for this mentality.
