The amount of times I've heard this rhetoric coupled with "the animals are better than us! We should let them govern the planet instead! They're vastly superior to us murderous beings" is baffling
Yeah. Beyond the obvious ecofash aspect of it, plenty of animals are murdery or selfish as well. We have the reason and capacity to do better though, so we should.
The people who make this claim just point to sophisticated ant/termite colonies and go "Look at that, why can't society be like that?" It's just projection of their own desires to control others without reason.
Humans are the only beings capable of being destroying the world. But we’re also the only beings capable of taking care of it, making sure it’s healthy and safe.
Our power is our responsibility. We were born, a long chain of infinite lives over billions of years, to be the gardeners of Earth.

Double points if they compare humans to ants.
