I completely agree, other systems have the potential to screw the environment as well. But capitalism is inherently like that and reached environment destroying records. I believe these things are simultaneously true.

You are still shifting the blame away from capitalism. If we acknowledge capitalism as the problem, then we can change things. If we claim humans are inherently the problem, then it seems pointless to improve.
What do you think could be a better system?
That meme also applies to countries that aren’t the US.
We had big shortages in toilet paper, disinfectant and cooking oil (at least in Germany) just a few years ago. The capitalism of European countries doesn’t exist in a vacuum either, it influences other countries. People are constantly starving and freezing to death under capitalism.
Point being: capitalism isn’t the way you make it out to be.
