A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
There is a point burried in there that is drowned out by all the fallacious added baggage. Its disingenuous bullshit.
Indigenous Chinese or Indians or Nigerians are not protectors of the earth, just like every other industrial nation. The picture meant to frame "Indigenous" as what Canada calls the indigenous First Nations peoples. It's relying on the racist trope of the noble savage, forgetting that First Nations aren't against industrializing their lands, as long as they are included as partner beneficiaries and they don't maximize returns via egregious environmental destruction on their lands. They also generally want industrialization and trade including water treatment, sanitation and all the other goodies like internet, tv, playstations and the like.
It also targets "capitalist" without looking at the eco-horrors of every other 'ism on earth. Go have a cool tall glass of Ganges, Nile or Yellow river water and tell me how refreshing it is.
This is a shitpost carefully designed to be a lopsided attack.
