Nataly needs a spell-checker. Also, a quick tutorial on comma splices wouldn't be wasted.
You know: grade school stuff.

Thanks, I’ll remember that when I go to school… oh wait, I’m not in school anymore. I’m gainfully employed, get paid plenty, and nobody cares. Huh, it’s almost like the hyper-educated imposition placed on us by society is simply a form of control, gatekeeping, and self-aggrandizing and the people who spent more time studying than forming relationships wasted their time and are now disgruntled because they have to work harder than those who aren’t overly anal grammar Nazis.

The idea that nature is precious and must be preserved is human-centric.
Trees caused an extinction event when they appeared by absorbing all the carbon dioxyde and radically changing the atmosphere. But we feel bad when we're the ones doing it

I just got done with an 8 hour factorio session so this meme resonated

Avatr is about capitalism
That wasn't glaringly obvious to everyone?

I thought we were saving kittens and puppies...

Like, to absolutely everyone?
This ranks up there with "breathing is good." -

That's what I was wondering. If you took whatever system Christoph Columbus (i.e. late 15th/early 16th century Spain) had and used it today, it wouldn't be any better than capitalism, but it wouldn't BE capitalism.

So... We manage to master space travel. We manage to master interstellar travel. We eventually find a planet with suitable for sustaining our species. And we just overlook it.
Can someone explain me the reasoning behind this?
Sci-fi to the side, there are more minerals available - readily - on asteroids and barren planets than anywhere else. Why go hopping around looking for habitable planets, to the reason of 1 out of who knows how many, to then strip mine it?

Wait until you learn about its subtle ecological message!

You realized I just opted for having a divergent view on the subject, right?

The resource being extracted on the avatar planet was unobtanium.
It was only available on that planet, precisely so intelligent people like you can’t say “why not mine barren rocks instead”?

Some people are dense enough that “the point” is the name of a baseball bat you have to go get to get it across.
It was also about the poor soldiers getting used to further capitalism.
Honestly, though…. That military wasn’t very credible. Half their aircraft you could disable by dumping buckets of pebbles into the fans.

It seems more like intentionally missing the main point of the comic.

What do you mean? Communists didn't mine minerals and didn't exploit indigenous people? Lol..

you forget the kind of people who complain that wolfenstein games or the x-men animated series "became" political
