what are the key differences for you
presumably they believe that we are separate from rather than a part of nature and that america pre-1492 was an untrammeled primordial wilderness rather than a stewarded and cultivated land.
Let's put it this way: the parks in Portland are nice, but they will never compare to the nature immediately outside of Bellingham. Like, a bike polo court and some trees is nice, but when I lived in a place where I could drive to the north cascades it was just better. There's something about immersion in nature that is life changing.
i understand to some extent (i live in a mountain range for that reason), but I'm trying to understand the original point of the OP. Mao's campaign as far as I understand it was to educate urban kids on the labour of the countryside to lessen urban/rural divide where industry and consumption happens in urban places and raw resource harvesting of materials in rural places. but that's entirely different then heading into a mountain range to disconnect from modern society
