Hell is other people. Public transport sucks. Earth does not need your saving. Nature will kill you if it had the chance to, it's not your saviour. We keep the environment safe enough for us to thrive not the other way around.

  1. Fine. How about walkable cities? Besides, you’re stuck in traffic with others in this situation anyway.
  2. We are part of the environment that we are killing which we rely on.

Walkable cities are fine, preferable even.

As long as one understands that environment is kept safe for ourselves to have better lives and not for some puritanical purpose of saving it, it's fine and again preferable.

Genuine question, what exactly do you think makes humans better and more deserving than the environment around them? I genuinely want to see the kind of reasoning as to why someone would think like this.

Edit: surprised I’m being downvoted for asking this.

Do you think termites ask this question of themselves when they munch on your house?

There is no such thing as "deserving" in nature.

Thank you for saying this. I dont know how this redditor got lost here, but she clearly belongs somewhere else.

Public transportation(at least in the US) sucks mostly due to lack of funding. As for the common pushback I hear from people against public transportation in regards to homeless and/or drug addicts causing issues, I propose we also fight our rampant homelessness and drug crises. Not only will we have better public transportation, we'll also have way, way less people shitting on the seats or causing problems for others.
