@blogdiva In a college religion class, a speaker of Amharic and Hebrew noted that his version of Genesis had humans “made stewards of the land.” The translation in the Kings James draft giving humans “dominion over the land” is a translation choice at the root of all of this. 35 years later, I still recall this conversation.

@grrlscientist The petro climate disaster isn't just wiping out the living earth's biodiversity, livestock appear to be getting rubbed out if we look at the cattle industry as an example. No rain means no grass and no cows. Yet the livestick and crop farmers are captured by the oilmen and block vote for the petro climate disaster that bankrupts their farms. Idiocracy should've been filmed in rural areas instead of the city.

@blogdiva I really wish I could say this was paranoia. But I can't, because it's not. These days they say the quiet part out loud and its obvious to anyone who is actually paying attention: they want to accelerate environmental collapse, profit from it, wipe out all the poors and retreat to their bunkers governed over by their fictional Ai god like they are in some Culture novel.Its a load of bolloxs but it doesn't stop them inviting apocalypse for the stupidest of reasons.

@blogdiva the rich were never tamedthey did, however, have shame and could be reasoned with, when they weren't so worshipped as to have reason to believe they are gods

“The scale and intentionality of the damage to forests, agricultural lands, marine ecosystems, water resources, and atmospheric quality constitute what must be recognised as an act of ecocide, with consequences that extend far beyond immediate destruction.“The environmental damage we face is not simply ecological – it is a matter of public health, food security, livelihoods, social fabric, and national resilience"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/28/lebanon-accuses-israel-ecocide#lebanon #ecocide #environment #ecosystem
