I feel this is a representation of 2 sides of one coin or rather that thees two have similar objective but go about trying to reach it in their own very different ways, one is violent and the other is peaceful all tough they might not necessarily agree with one or the other’s way of reaching the end goal, they agree on the goal with is saving earth and the environment.

      It is absolutely a political issue. To quote Chico Mendes, one of the greatest conservationists, who was murdered for it, environmentalism without class struggle is gardening.

      You may not like that politics is involved with conservation, that’s fair. But it is, and the people doing the destroying are the ones who control politicians.

        Actual memes are often political because almost nothing is fully nonpolitical.

        If you think it’s nonpolitical that just means you are fine with the politics to the point that you don’t notice them.

        The act of you deciding what you think is “political” is itself a political act between what you’re comfortable with and what you’re uncomfortable with.

        Stop whining and stfu.
