Whether it’s setting fire to forests and meadows, poisoning fish, shooting owls, killing sea lions, or (from the latest news) shooting cormorants, today’s environmentalists love nothing more than laying waste to the land. In the name of “the Environment” they apply policies that are about as merciful and compassionate as the Khmer Rouge.
It isn’t about the Environment, though. That’s a huge con, and I can’t believe so many people are so gullible as to buy into it.
All this naturecide translates into jobs. For environmentalists, natch. The killing of flora and fauna will fuel demand, either for more killing when it comes back, or “restoration” (often by killing other, previously mismanaged organisms) if it turns out the previous killing wasn’t such a great idea after all. In a perverse cycle of reproduction, environmentalists love nothing more than throwing out previous half-baked theories and replacing them with new half-baked theories which will in turn have to be revised and/or discarded.
Think about the basic unstated principle involved (which is economic and not environmental). If nature needs to be micromanaged by man, then who gets to do the actual work of micromanagement? Who do you think? Colleges crank out wannabe environmentalists by the thousands, and they not only want jobs, they want to create more jobs so their friends can have them too. It’s a growth industry.
After all, the new world requires a new ruling class.
Back to the Year Zero 1491!

They have also moved into enforcement with fines. Jail time will be next with SWAT teams. In Washington State they have started targeting private land owners.
After three years educating the public about the hazards of noxious weeds, Cowlitz County officials are starting to crack down on landowners who are “harboring” the plants.
Citations — and fines — are now possible for landowners who have ignored requests to eradicate the plants.

The picture in the article is Scotch Broom which is a beautiful flowing shrub that can become invasive. But fines?
Let them kill all the fucking Sea Lions first. They’re like seagulls but with six-pound shits!
Good post. In theory environmentalists want the environment to exist on its own without human intervention. Almost like libertarians want with the free market. And of course environmentalists reveal by their actions that they are not any more libertarian with regard to nature than they are with civilization. They just want *their* version of intervention over somebody else’s.
Why I am a Conservationist and most certainly NOT an Environmentalist.
“Almost like libertarians want with the free market.”
You mean the right to freely contract and have courts enforce those contracts when necessary?
Those libertarians?

We have to destroy our civilization in order to save it.

Environmentalists don’t want to save the environment, they want to preserve the environment just as it was when they discovered it. They want a fly in aspic, not a growing, changing, evolving web of organisms.
