‘The smell hurts’: why has the supreme court washed its hands of Argentina’s ‘rotten river’? | Campaigners fear ruling on the toxic Matanza-Riachuelo basin will worsen the region’s many health crises and sends the message that environmental damage is not a priority

1. Legal systems around the world seem to only serve capital and not people nor the environment. I appreciate the effort environmental lawyers and activists are making in trying to have the law grant personhood to animals, rivers, the land, etc. but it’s decisions like this Supreme Court’s abandoning responsibility that are at best misguided and at worst, indifferent and corrupt. It’s actually insane as a species our flagrant disregard for nature and the biosphere that supports all life.

2. Because their politics have taken a tragic right wing turn into delirious libertarianism? The supreme court is trying to stay hip with the kids
