P S The Democrats are correct that global warming is caused by human industry But the Republicans are also correct that it s only the latest of many climate changes throughout the earth s history The two party system sets these up as opposites to prevent the public from making the obvious conclusion from both of them We are not as it s fashionable to say hurting the earth We are hurting the artificial structures our ancestors have imposed upon the earth throughout the past 10000 years or so If humanity goes extinct the earth will return to the natural state of chaos it was in before humanity arose If we were to take literally the environmentalists exhortation to respect nature we would be encouraged to continue changing the climate until we re all dead because if nature is defined as something to which emotions can be shown then our mere existence is disrespectful On the contrary the cause of actually protecting the environment rather than just waxing poetic about it has always been our duty to each other as fellow humans The religious conception of humanity as a category disguised in secular garb allows the false inference that if the economy puts some people inside a wall other people must be outside However humanity is not a category it is merely one of many instances of the category of animal species So it is indeed possible for all people to be inside the wall The establishment has brainwashed us into thinking that treating animals as the other leads to cruelty against them On the contrary cruelty against people called the other has always been based on the realization that they are in fact people and only the charade of cruelty can pretend otherwise Furthermore it is only by fabricating a connection with animals that a ritual of cruelty can be established to displace the natural tendency to treat them humanely Collin237
