   There’s a large amount of overlap between “ecowarriors” and pro-genocide war-mongers in Europe, which isn’t surprising when you know that at least some of the roots of various Green parties are deeply in conservatism and romanticized views of “the good old times living in harmony with nature” and mysticist pseudoscientific bullshit like homeopathy.

   Idk why everyone thinks of them as pacifistic left-wing.

     @grrrr_shark yeah, it’s definitely different in different areas and even per-country

     @thomasfuchs My impression is that the European and American ecoconservation movements were born from (or at least composed of) very different ideologies. At least, if I look at Germans as an example.

     My experience with ecoconservationism in the US is DEFINITELY that a lot of it comes from left wing folks in the 60s/70s.

     So I think Americans naturally think it must be the same here and are unaware of the whole creepy "Esotherik" crap underlying a lot of it.
