just so we're clear here, "i'm not an environmentalist"...but if you agree with this message why the strange need to distance yourself from environmentalism?

Turns out that high-rise cities are actually a good way to reduce our damage to mossy rainforests. By concentrating our activity in a small area, we minimize the resources wasted in moving people and things between places.

hell with that. nature isn't some benevolent mother, waiting to take us in to all live in peace and harmony. nature is cold and dark and savage and toothy.

nature is smallpox and earthquakes and billions of pointless deaths. it is the greatest conceivable enemy.

now, all that isn't to say that we don't need to do a better job of fixing the biosphere. but agreeing to break it slower is not a solution that makes any fucking sense, nor is casting human civilization as the villain of the piece.

aaand i see now that this is /r/pics and i might as well be pissing into the wind. c'est la vie.

Stupid bullshit propaganda. Reality isn't so black and white, it's not good vs evil. It's ugly, and it's complicated.

Let's see you give up your precious internet, your electricity, your clothes, even your home. Even still, in the end, it's us vs ourselves, nature most likely will have survived whatever minuscule thing we throw.

Don't get me wrong this piece is exceptionally well done technically but I really don't like art like this. It's so overt, it's gauche, it's like something you'd see hanging on the wall at a dentists or something. It's like they've gone 'heh it's a metaphor'

Humans are part of the environment, along with cities. It's is so amazingly stupid people still consider it "unnatural". You're an idiot.

By the time we advance enough to flourish without exploiting the planet's ecology, we will probably have destroyed most of it. I only hope that humanity or whatever succeeds it embraces diversity in some way, just as evolution does, to replace the billions of years of diversity evolution has brought this planet. Can you imagine all of the details and information of life on earth replaced by one species with one single-minded goal? I think that would be terrible. It's true that all life we know of only has one main goal, to reproduce, but if we were able to actively prevent anything else other than one type of entity to do that, even if that species reached so-called perfection and survived until the heat death of the universe, it would be nothing but boring.

Ptylerdactyl · 2013-01-23T13:15:28+00:00

As naturally-evolved organisms, there are a multitude of things that nature has designed generally and specifically to kill us.

Now, I think we're smart enough to find a balance so it isn't an either-or, us-or-nature relationship. But make no mistake, a lone human in deep "nature" like a rain forest or a desert... nature won't seem so motherly. It genuinely doesn't care if a single being lives or dies.

Gaia has the high ground. Man builds cities to defend ourselves from nature. It is only our industry and ingenuity that allows us to thrive in a dangerous world where heat, cold, animals and natural disasters could kill us.

BoSquared · 2013-01-23T14:51:38+00:00

By destroying the environment we're only destroying ourselves. Nature is more resilient than we give it credit for and could easily bounce back in mere decades because plants adapt faster than humans. We will be dead long before nature is. Worry about us, not the environment.

superaldo94 · 2013-01-23T14:53:26+00:00

I wonder how many of the people that rally behind this image live in the large metropolitan areas represented in the gun. Not a whole lot of environmentalists moving out to live in the woods like Walt Whitman. With that being said, if there are any environmentalist out there who have sacrificed their urban lives for a more peaceful and less intrusive life in a rural area I applaud your choice.
