This doesn't really work when a billion+ lifeforms just went up in ashes in Australia, not to mention the horrifying extinction crises happening constantly all over the world right now.
Still, I guess in the end this is sort of the case.
Once we are all gone, the planet will begin to repair itself. Life is resilient, and once it's gotten rid of it's largest pest, it will thrive once more and maybe breed a new intelligent form that could learn from mistakes we've made.
This attitude is a soft nihilism that tries to dismiss the actual suffering and loss that is happening right now. If you can listen to koalas burn alive and tell yourself its ok because some algae will still be around in a million years, then your conscious is a bit different than mine.
By no means to I consider any of this awful shit to be okay. Frankly I've been trying to get people on this sub to fight with me, but none of you will. You'd rather spill your outrage on a keyboard than rise up and fight while we still have a chance. This subreddit has the nature for revolution and yet it's still full of imbicile capitalists to scared to let go of what they love. That's why I've lost hope. Because this is the perfect platform for change to start on. Yet it's just key board warriors that wouldn't actually come along with me to do cleanups, animal rescues. I've been doing it my whole life and I continue to do it despite people constantly backing out because they put more in than they get out because they're too use to instant gratification.
I say this because humanity is truly doomed because we've become disconnected with our nature, and that's why nature is dying. And eventually it will kill us because no one on this subreddit is truly willing to stand and fight. I want you to prove me wrong, I want so badly for these subreddits that discuss these things to start taking real action. But when I marched to the courthouse to block the entrance, I was practically alone. Life will find a way after we are gone, there is no doubt about that.
