Simply destroying something is the easy road. Because it means you don't have to think about what the problem is, only know that it's bad.

It's definitely harder to build something from nothing, but that's not the "solution" being offered. It's tomorrow's problem that you don't have to worry about yet.

It's not the easier solution, but it is the easier thought.

You do understand that, unlike most wild animals, humans change at a much faster rate, right?

The point isn't "humans did this (though admittedly I did throw a little jab in there)", the point is "drastically changing an environment can have devastating consequences".

So you're saying it can get worse?

Cooking takes time, ingredients, and if you want it palatable, ability. Fast food takes driving up to a location and saying "give me something easy".

It's not as fast as it used to be, but it's still relatively quick, especially if it's on your way home from wherever you are. Any extra time is just spent doomscrolling on your phone or listening to your preferred media pundit.

So... a predator it was unfamiliar with and had no defense against?

It makes sense to people who want to use the deaths of their ancestors as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want.

In after someone gets irrationally angry about people getting irrationally angry.

Because their evolutionary defense is literally defense, and not just having enough numbers to overcome predation.

Sure, there are species that exist without predation, but introduce predators (like humans) and oh, would you look at that... extinction!

Life is complex, and doesn't have any one single explanation for how it exists.

It's not detached from reality, it's propaganda. It's a twisting of reality to benefit a particular agenda.

From a quick google search. It's about 53% for Trump, 45% for Harris.

It may not be true for those you regularly interact with, but that doesn't make it untrue overall.
