the earth will save itself

Radical environmentalism is the dumbest folk religion ever devised, the only one where the sinners are assigned the task of saving God.

Despite its pretense of selflessness and anti-humanism, it is egocentric to the core. It places us in control of the earth, which is the opposite of how things really are. It depicts a sick, ailing, victimized planet ruled by vicious humanoid overlords bent on degrading her—almost as if we were all abusive husbands and the earth was a big fat battered wife. And so, preacheth the Crazy Ones, we must atone for our transgressions and take care of her.

But we aren't the earth's caretakers, we are only parasites infesting its lush green hide. No matter how many Big Mac wrappers we toss along the roadsides, the earth will survive much longer than we will. The planet isn't in crisis—we are.

Mother Earth is a cunt. Right now, she only has PMS. Wait 'til the blood starts to flow.
