Yep, trying to single out the USA only is extremely short sighted, just in the last years my country began to destroy a protected jungle, a mangrove swamp and decided to just let the vaquita marina die.
It isn't just america bad, this is how humanity works and then us, who are too afraid to try to do something about it and only complain to the void.
For those unaware, massive herds of buffalo in the US were slaughtered in an attempt to keep Native Americans, many of whom were dependent on hunting the herds as they migrated, in one place where they could be watched and controlled. A very ugly piece of our history.
You’re going to a shitty school if they don’t cover this. We went over a part of it at least once a year. It’s it’s a you problem if you don’t know this by the time your done.
I get into a bit of an internet slap-fight about this topic here: https://slrpnk.net/post/13729485/11259214
My sleep-deprived brain was hysterically lost, and I thought I was replying to different post. Despite this, I think it fits well here.
