Okay mostly agree but all invasive species evolved naturally on earth? An invasive species is when said species leaves or is taken out of where it evolved naturally and overuses resources/destroys the environment/kills other species such that it has a significant environmental impact. Which like, I can see why some people would draw parallels to that and to how humans has acted in various environments, specifically colonialism.
What is and is not an invasive species is determined by colonialism and the people in power. Like, a huge determinant for what is an invasive species is “is it hurting our economy.” It isn’t just about the environment.
We can talk about humans being harmful to the environment all we want—and we are. But the whole “humans are an invasive species” is literally a fascist talking point. Like, thar is well documented in history.
