"fettered" capital has a long history of ecological disasters too...

In fact the above link doesn't even mention the whaling atrocity:

My point being - clearly capitalism isn't the cause of ecological ruin.

Pretending that the only options are two extreme ends of a solution scale isn't operating in good faith.

Clearly, capitalism isn't the only possible cause of ecological ruin. In this case, however, it appears to be allowing _everyone involved_ to shirk the responsibility to pay for the damage they cause.

I’m not pretending those are the only options - I’m saying that in a nominally anti-capitalist country, they wrought massive ecological destruction.
