    This is an extreme response to what I think amounts to a “shower thought”. Bringing the ruling class into it… I don’t get it.

      Bringing the ruling class into it… I don’t get it.

      The idea that humans and human progress are inherently destructive is a lie told by the ruling class because getting people to believe it benefits them. Among other things it absolves them of their own crimes of destruction while simultaneously blaming the rest of us and our positive traits for those crimes. Somewhat ironically it’s a lie that helps lead to more destruction. See my other response to u/Sagittari.
