Capitalism only values nature by how it can be exploited.
Case in point.
People in my replies be like “bUt wHaT aBoUt fRuIt TrEes and CaMpInG GrOuNdS”. Yes that’s pretty much my point. Trees are only valuable if you can make money off them or hijack them for human activities, rather than because they literally sustain life on earth.
In capitalism’s eyes, everything is but a tool or resource to make profit. Workers and nature alike. A forest is not inherently “valuable” to a capitalist; individual people are treated as “human resources” and labour for 8 - 13 hours per day, most days of their life, until they’re physically too old to continue.
We will only attain a better world when nature and people become inherently valuable, rather than something to exploit.
fun fact: in the latin american dub, when Helen Brand tells Benoit Blanc that “google says he’s the world greatest detective”, he says “i am not James Bond” which is infinitely funnier than the original “i am not Batman” response
