 It was not agriculture per se that is to blame; many indigenous people domesticated plants and animals without causing significant environmental changes. 

The problem begins with the emergence of societies organized into classes and castes in which the idea of ​​accumulation of wealth and the centralization of power becomes acceptable. The higher classes could live in luxury and extravagance, detached from the suffering caused to others. 

The cancer is the naturalization of social superiority, entitlement, and privilege, as well as the ruler's divine rights and ownership as a source of enrichment and power reinforcement.

It was the naturalization and glorification of imperialism and colonialism, which means the triumph of sociopathy and psychopathy over empathy and compassion, and the adoption of monotheist religions separating the human race from nature that made us believe that we are separated from nature. 

European rulers thought they had the divine role of civilizing the world as justification for the imperialist plunder and hegemonic control.

The naturalization of imperialist civilization, not agriculture, brought us to the Capitalocene. 

Capitalism is a cancer in the web of life, and imperial colonialism is how it spreads the metastasis.
