Yeah, while I agree with the core message rebuking ecofascism and pointing out that environmental damage is a capitalistic issue, depicting indigenous folks as the sole tenders of the land is some Noble Savage shit.
What does “indigenous” even fucking mean. I’m of European descent living in Europe, motherfucker I’m the indigenous one around here.
This comic pretty directly equates “indigenous” with “brown & too poor to meaningfully impact their own ecosystems” (which isn’t true either because poor countries have a pretty good track record of destroying their own ecosystems as well).
Saying “humans are a plague” is some edgelord type shit. Equating it with fascism is just dumb and dilutes the term “fascism”, and on top of that they’ve managed to illustrate it in one of the most racist ways I’ve had the displeasure to read in a while.
Maybe I can give the author some slack and assume they’re being a typical yankee and completely disregarding the rest of the world, and trying to be progressive by supporting the work Native American reserves do. But even then it’s inexcusably dumb.
Funny, because I’m a native of turtle island, and happen to be very involved with indigenous land protection across multiple continents in collaboration with literally hundreds of unique cultures, all of which are protecting lands and water.
Other people seem to have no issue understanding. I think my coconut comment was on point, and the fact that you responded referencing Luddites shows I’ve explained myself perfectly fine.
What specifically don’t you understand about me saying I think this is hypocritical?
Dude… The VAST VAST VAST VAST VAST majority of indigenous aren’t out there “protecting lands”, and have no more connection to nature then you or I.
Nice casual racism though!
And that other 90% of humanity is working to industrialize to get where we are. It’s a massive issue that as far as I’m aware we have no solution to.

Fuck… I never thought about indigenous Europeans. Does this mean Brexit was technically an anti-colonism movement?

Then this is a good opportunity for you to check your confirmation bias. You and I both know you’re not replying to me with a coconut radio.
Funny that you think that the only way to protect things is by being a Luddite or something
I think it’s hypocritical.
You haven’t done a good job of explaining why thus far.
