Our cherished national parks (that are being opened to resource extraction shhh) vs their oppressive eco-authoritarian zones

Checkmate, tankies. You forgot about my inalienable right to kill and sell every living thing on God's green Earth.

buddy if you think this is bad you're really not gonna like Climate Stalin

BUT AT WHAT COST

Helping the environment?? That's code for ECO AUTHORITARIAN COMMUNISM

A real liberal LOVES pouring DIESEL into the local river !!

Deciding you don't want to kill the entire planet and doom humanity is evil now

once famous for pillaging

pillage verb [ I or T ] formal uk /ˈpɪl.ɪdʒ/ us /ˈpɪl.ɪdʒ/ to steal something from a place or a person by using violence, especially during war

Pretty sure that doesn't apply to China, unless you're talking about the revolution itself being an act of pillaging by the proletariat seizing the means.

A lot of it’s racism but they take this same attitude with Appalachia and the de-industrialized places in the USA, just another example of how “their excessive wastes of yesteryear etc etc” are responsible for the environmental degradation and not the underlying economic system which prioritizes extraction and production over all

They lay this narrative a lot

“Not wanting to go extinct for porky makes the yeehaw freedom burger sad! Anarky now!”

Same people who give huge rants against a certain d word btw.

It's not quite the climate stalinism I desired but a good start.

I can't say anything about what should happen to the people writing articles for the economist.

i remember one of those that was of a woman in a labcoat under an article that passively condemned the "legacy of soviet policy in eastern europe" given their relative abundance and the man whipping her said "BECOME AN ACCOMPLISHED SCIENTIST"
