I say this as i take my pharmaceutical mass-produced amphetamine, factory made plastic sheets lined with artificial hormones that maintain my estrogen exactly where it should be, put on my makeup, my clothes of perfect fit made by machines in asia consisting of synthetic fibers, take out my semiconductor magic device connected by radio waves, tap on it in an alphabet of a language i wasn’t raised in, follow the instructions of the sights and colours of the organic light emitting diode god and head out onto concrete walkways lined with skyscrapers to get food from a market originating in a cuisine half a world away in a country I’ve never been, sold by a second gen immigrant who finds it a bit icky as she whispers in a tongue i do not know and never will, to pay with currency i earn pretending my job isn’t pointless to other people with pointless jobs from the sanctity and warmth of my ex-office building renovation.

Meanwhile people in nature died of diarrhea and shit. Typhus. The anticiv rightoid chuds want us to die of preventable diseases. Steve Irwin was killed by a random Lovecraftian freak himself lol.

Modernity, technology is all good, nature is a canvas for humanity’s hubris and it’s a good thing it’s mostly gone as a concern for us. Capitalism is the real problem.
