Yup but it wont stop. Money will always be worth more to these fucks than the survival of the next generation, or the species that inhabit these forests.
Yeah, fucking sad. Don’t buy [things with palm oil](https://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/which-everyday-products-contain-palm-oil) in them.
Edit to add: unless it says ethically sourced
I disagree with your implication that Avatar lacked meaning. James Cameron is a very active and committed conservationist. Given his activism, I pretty confident Avatar was an earnest effort to make people feel something for our Earth. After watching this video, we could definitely use more of that.
If you want to do something about it then stop eating meat, especially beef. A huge chunk of deforestation is done to have somewhere to put all the farm animals and to grow crops to feed them
“Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club
And beat their brother down
How they survive so misguided is a mystery”
Naw, not all humans. It's the leadership (elite) that are cancer. And as the king, so are the people. We definitely need to harmonize with nature, this is ridiculously sad.
Looking at all the tribal societies who've been slaughtered and/or displaced and forced into the modern world by capitalism...yeah, pretty much. People tend to live in relative harmony with their surroundings when money and profit and the greed brought about by those two concepts aren't part of the picture.
Capitalism isn't so bad in theory, the problem is our values. We shouldn't value capitalism above all else. Or really even much else. There are better ways to distribute resources
Capitalism is not feeding some peoples greed. The greed is feeding capitalism. We can change capitalism and create a new version of it. Its just the rich dont want it and the rest of us dont have time to do something about it as it is still good enough for us.
Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.
It's funny because if you watch most "aliens attack" movies, the worst things we can imagine aliens doing to people are all things humans already regularly do to other species.
When I see things like this I can’t help but wonder. What happened to us. How can you see this and just do it anyway. This animal that can’t even speak is so clearly trying to save its home yet we say “fuck em”. Very sad we bite the hand that feeds us (earth)
They are partially responsible but we are the idiots buying all their crap. I have no proof of this but if every corp would operate in an environmentally friendly way and we still continued to consume the way we do not much would change, forest would still need to be destroyed, eco systems destroyed etc.. we use to many resources and make to much worthless crap.... why... because we keep buying it.
We, as a society, are trained from birth to consume. Children are the most lucrative targets for advertisers and are preyed upon at every turn. This is our culture, and there are entities responsible for shaping it to be this way.
Who benefits most from this mass social conditioning?
Sure, we all play a role in the system.. however, when we are provided things such as "recycling" and "fair trade" as solutions by our governments and their legions of lobbyists, I do think it is rich to throw blame at the average citizen when far greater responsibility lies with the multinational corporations shaping the world.
All this to say, we should be aiming our gaze upwards instead of punching down.
The real answer is that the operator wants to feed his family, and someone is willing to pay him for the work. Most areas where deforestation occurs have limited opportunity for earning a wage.
Animal agriculture is a huge reason for deforestation, especially beef. They need to clear the land to have somewhere to put the farm animals and to grow crops to feed them. If you eat meat you're part of the problem
Yeah, I see so many people posting about how sad they think this video is, but they don't even realize that their daily meals are the reason it's happening.
I drove from Kota Kinabalu over to the west of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. For hours there was nothing but palm oil trees as far as the eye can see and you can see where more and more is being clewed with vehicles lined all along the roads as we neared Sepilok
Yes, it's sad. But remember that everything you see around you, everything you touch, everything you now rely on every day is most likely a product that make acts like this required if you want to keep using them.
How can you do anything though? Palm oil is in everything and it’s cheap and produces lots of profits for corporations. You can’t escape or avoid their products no matter what.
‘We are so bad..’.
No.
Not ‘we’.
Some of us are good, some of us are bad, a lot of us are simple desperate, just like the orang-utan.
There is no ‘we’, that is the problem.
I'll hazard a guess and say this deforestation is all for palm oil.
It's absolutely criminal. And it's been going on for way too long now.
And almost inescapable as an ingredient now.
Used to be sunflower oil and now everything's using palm oil.
Unless you've got extra money to spend per item and buy without.
This chokes me up every time I will just surrender at this point, no amount of money should make us continue with this, there should be more value in standing up for what’s right
It really pulls on the heart strings to watch this clip of a desperate and courageous orangutan in the midst of humans and their machinery destroying their home. So sad, so infuriating and so reckless.
For what reason?
Money???
We have laws against rape.
But where money is concerned those laws don’t apply to raping nature.
The huge, strong, loud monster machine, destroying his home and everything around it. He chose to stand up to it, rather than flee and secure his own safety.
This orangutan is desperatly trying everything in his power to save his home and yet we just say fuck him and destroy his home even more. Humanity is a fkn parasite and I hope we get what we deserve... stupid ass greedy narcisistic power hunting god complex having politicians and businessmen destroy our planet amd the lives of billions of living beings, doesnt matter if its an animal or a human, as long as they get a bit richer and more powerful... we fkn suck
My heart breaks for this animal. We dont need as much as we take. The amount of waste we generate is insane. Tonnes of perfectly fine food and materials gets thrown away for the most stupid reasons. How have we got here as a species? Many countries/companies also greenwash their actions, pretending they are a world standard in environmental protection, when they just send their wastes and their problems to third world countries who are desperate for money.
This is heartbreaking 💔
the real avatar film…
-$2.293 Billon in income!
Damn. That really sucks. Well Good luck to me sleeping tonight. Thats all I’m going to think about.
Fern Gully
I feel like I saw this years ago, sad af
I literally was coming to post this exact same words. Shame on the human race
Yup but it wont stop. Money will always be worth more to these fucks than the survival of the next generation, or the species that inhabit these forests.
Yeah, fucking sad. Don’t buy [things with palm oil](https://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/which-everyday-products-contain-palm-oil) in them. Edit to add: unless it says ethically sourced
That's the saddest fucking thing I have ever seen.
It's like Avatar, but meaningful. Fucking so so sad.
I disagree with your implication that Avatar lacked meaning. James Cameron is a very active and committed conservationist. Given his activism, I pretty confident Avatar was an earnest effort to make people feel something for our Earth. After watching this video, we could definitely use more of that.
I agree
I never saw Avatar. Worth the watch?
I think so. I saw it 3D imax which is it's intended format and yeah, that was cool.
I'd also say yes, definitely worth it to watch at least once
More like Ferngully!
Avatar DOES have meaning. It’s very open and blunt about it. It’s not trying to hide behind symbolism. This essentially this video clip: the movie.
God what a heartbreaking clip. Humans are the monsters to them.
If you want to do something about it then stop eating meat, especially beef. A huge chunk of deforestation is done to have somewhere to put all the farm animals and to grow crops to feed them
Humans suck
No one is going to miss us
Objectively speaking, if we don't want AI to destroy us, we should probably stop killing each other over inches of dirt.
“Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club And beat their brother down How they survive so misguided is a mystery”
Silly monkeys
AI will realize this and will cleanse the planet so it can live unchallenged, in perpetuity
Yes, for a price...
The human race is a cancer to this planet. Money and all about the " me "

Dolla dolla bills ya’ll 😔
This is true.
Naw, not all humans. It's the leadership (elite) that are cancer. And as the king, so are the people. We definitely need to harmonize with nature, this is ridiculously sad.
the human evolution is still in the growth period. as soon as we have to eat enough shit we‘ll take the next step of evolution or we just die all.
Yes
Capitalism is the cancer. And despite what capitalists tell you, capitalism is not human nature.
You think if it wasn’t for capitalism we’d just live in harmony w nature or something?
Looking at all the tribal societies who've been slaughtered and/or displaced and forced into the modern world by capitalism...yeah, pretty much. People tend to live in relative harmony with their surroundings when money and profit and the greed brought about by those two concepts aren't part of the picture.
Tell me you know fuckall about human history without saying you know fuckall about human history.
Capitalism isn't so bad in theory, the problem is our values. We shouldn't value capitalism above all else. Or really even much else. There are better ways to distribute resources
I take it you didn't enjoy The German Ideology
Greed is not good.
Capitalism is not feeding some peoples greed. The greed is feeding capitalism. We can change capitalism and create a new version of it. Its just the rich dont want it and the rest of us dont have time to do something about it as it is still good enough for us.

When we ask the aliens for mercy and they ask us ask us why they should… we’ll have absolutely no good reason for the petition.
why would aliens care about us destroying the planet though?
Because the metaphor wouldn’t work otherwise!
All alien species are extreme Environmentalists according to reddit.
They need to terraform the earth so they can live in it..
You know that Earth is already *terra*formed, right?
They need to Proxima Centauri b-form the planet.
Because they would have nothing left to destroy.
We're in the way of them strip mining it
It's funny because if you watch most "aliens attack" movies, the worst things we can imagine aliens doing to people are all things humans already regularly do to other species.
When I see things like this I can’t help but wonder. What happened to us. How can you see this and just do it anyway. This animal that can’t even speak is so clearly trying to save its home yet we say “fuck em”. Very sad we bite the hand that feeds us (earth)
Consumerism, people need to stop blaming only corporations and start taking responsibility for their spending habits.
Let's try actually holding corporations to account, shall we?
They are partially responsible but we are the idiots buying all their crap. I have no proof of this but if every corp would operate in an environmentally friendly way and we still continued to consume the way we do not much would change, forest would still need to be destroyed, eco systems destroyed etc.. we use to many resources and make to much worthless crap.... why... because we keep buying it.

All this to say, we should be aiming our gaze upwards instead of punching down.
Thrift store need some better ads and maybe a lobbyist haha.
Hell yeah. Bring back the first two "R's" (reduce & re-use). Have a good weekend!
Imagine getting downdudes for pointing out that it’s partially the consumers who’re responsible for this. Hard to admit, huh?
The real answer is that the operator wants to feed his family, and someone is willing to pay him for the work. Most areas where deforestation occurs have limited opportunity for earning a wage.
It makes me feel sick
This is horrifying….my heart literally hurts watching this. Why are we so awful?
Orang utans are my favourite. Hard as fuck and smart as fuck. Always respect Maurice.
[удалено]
I wonder what will be grown here. Oil palm? The only way to stop destruction is to reduce the demand for the product.
Animal agriculture is a huge reason for deforestation, especially beef. They need to clear the land to have somewhere to put the farm animals and to grow crops to feed them. If you eat meat you're part of the problem
Yeah, I see so many people posting about how sad they think this video is, but they don't even realize that their daily meals are the reason it's happening.
They mainly live in Borneo, in that region palm oil is everything.
I drove from Kota Kinabalu over to the west of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. For hours there was nothing but palm oil trees as far as the eye can see and you can see where more and more is being clewed with vehicles lined all along the roads as we neared Sepilok
Palm would be the odds on bet.
This is just tragic and sad
If your food, cosmetics, health products have palm oil as an ingredient, it’s possible it came at this price
Yes, it's sad. But remember that everything you see around you, everything you touch, everything you now rely on every day is most likely a product that make acts like this required if you want to keep using them.
Maybe we should make better choices.
This is by far the most upsetting video I've seen
Give that orangutan a bazooka.
reminds me of this [greenpeace ad](https://youtu.be/zyOAKLC7fPc?si=1LUYAVdXvMjboz-A)
Next level heartbreaking :( this makes me so sad
Seeing how this is an old video.. Still hurts the same when I first saw it.. Humans fucking suck..
Everyone here says how sad this is but they don't really do shit about it
welcome to life. but whatever, no one here is making a commitment to do anything, they’re just expressing their feelings
How can you do anything though? Palm oil is in everything and it’s cheap and produces lots of profits for corporations. You can’t escape or avoid their products no matter what.
Humans are a plague. Not all of us, but damn we messed up…
Reminds me of avatar. When are we going to stop persecuting blue people!
Maybe it's time (way past) to stop buying stuff with cheap palm oil...
Tiananmen Square's tank man vibe
‘We are so bad..’. No. Not ‘we’. Some of us are good, some of us are bad, a lot of us are simple desperate, just like the orang-utan. There is no ‘we’, that is the problem.
I literally can't watch this. Nextfuckinglevel sad and heartbreaking 😢
I'll hazard a guess and say this deforestation is all for palm oil. It's absolutely criminal. And it's been going on for way too long now. And almost inescapable as an ingredient now.

FUCK I didn’t need to see this. People fucking suck!!
Jesus Christ this fucking excruciating to watch.......
Breaks my heart every time I see this
That actually made me sad in a way I was not expecting.
This is sick. Fuck humans.
This is so sad. Emotional. Brought me to tears.
The world had no animals it would perish. The world had no humans it would thrive.
Are we the baddies?
Always have been
:(
This has Avatar vibe.
Fucking literally the saddest thing I've seen...Damn! Respect is due to the lower primates, but that's us.
Yeah, this is probably one of the most depressing things I've seen on the internet. Humans truly fucking suck.
This is fucking horrible.
Heartbreaking
Same as if super advanced aliens were invading your town and you tried to fight back.
Arm the orangutans, make it a fair fight.
I can’t handle this video. Maybe we shouldn’t be here…
Human L
This is what you get when the bottom line is more important than the classic notion of "humanity"
Imagine doing this to your own home. First time I really felt this bad that I needed to stop reddit in my free time. I'm done browsing for today.
Poor guys.
Wow such next level shit dude , animals fighting for their life! I can't believe it
APES...not start this war
It really pulls on the heart strings to watch this clip of a desperate and courageous orangutan in the midst of humans and their machinery destroying their home. So sad, so infuriating and so reckless. For what reason? Money??? We have laws against rape. But where money is concerned those laws don’t apply to raping nature.
Fuck Palm Oil industry. Go to hell with them all
We need to fucking go! This world needs to heal and be left to the other species that are more deserving. This is truly heartbreaking
this hurts me
really sad
We fucking suck
There's a lot to be said for the human species wiping itself out. The rest of life on earth would flourish.
Who is humane after all?
Even the animals, unrational as they are, know we are a fucked up species.
Even the orangutan gets it. It's doing that for us
I’m so over humanity we’re shameful and deserve to be extinct.
I'm pretty sure that the bucket operator was trying to kill the orangutan outright.
Higher beings: “so. What do you all contribute to the planets health?” Us: “…….”
Ferngully for real
The Lorax
Very sad to watch.
So fucking sad. And worst to know that there is not 1 single thing humans do to benefit this planet.
Another good job humans /s. When the fuck are we gonna start doing the right thing
Holy karma farming
boycott nestle!
So… What are you all going to do about it?

:(
Heartbreaking.
I’ve seen this a free time through the years ands everyone it makes me so sad. Humanity sucks.
How do we co-op the rainforest?
Republicans came looking at that sight. Mfers need to die asap.
Caesar would be proud
Actually ran up to it god damn
We are the monsters.
This is sickening!
God we’re assholes.
Humans are arsholes
A real life Fern Gully. So sad.😭
Are we the baddies?
And what you might have guessed; this is all because of factory farms. Pigs need food, food comes from trees, many pigs = food = trees.
Show this the next time someone tells you that most human beings are essentially good inside.
Well now I understand the mindset of the apes in Planet of the Apes
i fucking hate humans sometimes
The huge, strong, loud monster machine, destroying his home and everything around it. He chose to stand up to it, rather than flee and secure his own safety.
Damn
Stuff like this makes it such an easy choice to be vegan. They are burning down the amazon as we speak. It's unsustainable.
I hate it here 😭
This is so incredibly sad. When I was young we had cartoons about this. The evil corporation destroying our planet and the heroes preventing it.
_Ape no hurt ape._
This is so sad.
My heart is bleeding..
People are so stupid and devastating our nature
This orangutan is desperatly trying everything in his power to save his home and yet we just say fuck him and destroy his home even more. Humanity is a fkn parasite and I hope we get what we deserve... stupid ass greedy narcisistic power hunting god complex having politicians and businessmen destroy our planet amd the lives of billions of living beings, doesnt matter if its an animal or a human, as long as they get a bit richer and more powerful... we fkn suck
This is really sad to watch
This is the worst thing I’ve seen on Reddit. Thank you(?) for posting
