I wonder if the ideological position of "humans are the ones who destroyed the earth" is connected to the fact that the way "humanness" is defined is Eurocentric

it is interesting to see "human" mean a specific kind/conception of 'Man' except for when it comes to things like "human nature", "the Anthropocene", etc, 'Man' is decoupled from human(ity) more broadly -- "inclusivity" only seems to happen when it's time to point fingers

This allows people to act as an atomized, ahistorical individual (surpassing material reality and responsibility in a nearly mythological way) to gain social power, reinforcing capitalism and coloniality while eroding locality, relationality, and communality.
