Comrade Attenborough

If you haven’t watched a

Attenborough’s latest special on Netflix yet I’m begging you to. It’s basically 1 hour of him explaining why capitalism must be dismantled if we as a species are to continue to survive, with a slight nature theme. He calls it his witness statement. Its him no longer trying to put it nicely and just screaming can we please stop destroying our planet and civilisation for FIVE MINUTES.

I think there are few people on this Earth have seen first hand the impact humanity has had on every single part of our biosphere. Attenborough has been to literally every part of our world. He’s seen ice-caps and jungles, deserts and mountains, and he’s watched it all being to die, one little bit at a time. First hand. And he’s an old white man with a title, and he knows it, and is screaming like mad in the hopes that he can convince the other old white moneyed men to just do something, trying to reach the audience that grew up with him on the telly telling them about the wonder of the world. 

It’s like he and Greta Thunberg are the two big sides of this fight. Look what you have done to the world I have loved, and look what you are doing to the future I do not have.
