Relentless progress, no matter the cost

“These ant-like people, these greedy terrorists, have inflicted their violence on Mother Earth for too long. Caught together in this vicious cycle of trauma and violence, their relentless pursuit of progress, they claimed her as one of their subjects, a whole world of them believing that they were the empire, and Mother Earth was somehow inferior. Hasn’t this always been the case? Haven’t you always claimed superiority over each other and the natural world? You point to scientific knowledge that you have created, to skull measurements or skin colors, and you believe each other when you talk of a master race. You create an echo-chamber of ignorance to justify more invasions; of other people as much as Mother Earth’s resources.”
 
Nothing is more haunting than a person’s greed.
