    The fact that the sanctity of such a place must be enshrined into law in order for capitalists to abstain from raping it tells you everything you need to know about the system.

    Good, we don’t need to destroy the world more than we already have, especially when it would mean fucking over Native Americans again. But the fact that we have to do this in order to protect people and the planet is ridiculous. It shouldn’t be an idealism for human lives to matter more than corporate profits.

      While I agree with your statement…

      What about if it’s all just politics and what Biden is doing benefits some other political mission that in the end fucks over the people anyway…

      I can’t trust ANY of them.

    Mining would be okay if it was well regulated and controlled and monitored but it’s not. Grown adults can’t be trusted to be responsible and seem to always ruin shit and not clean it up. So we all suffer for it.
