World’s Scariest Words: ‘I’m an Environmentalist and I’m Here to Help’
Teddy Roosevelt was an environmentalist. Most hunters and fishermen (like Ted Nugent) are environmentalists. Those who support the management of natural resources for the greatest good of the greatest number of people really are do-gooders. Environmentalists only become enviroloons when they abandon their humanity.
Like many forms of activism, environmentalism lost its sanity when it embraced Marxist tactics and ideals. This inspired lunatic and dangerous ideas like Peter Singer’s belief that a handicapped baby is a drain on resources, less ‘equal’ than a healthy chimp (and it would therefore be okay to kill the baby)
Human beings aren’t equal to all other animals on the planet. Unlike all other animals, we have the ability to affect all life on the planet, to be caretakers and creators. We also have the ability to destroy all life on the planet. We’re the alpha predator, which gives us certain rights and responsibilities. Nature isn’t a collective, it’s not even a democracy. Rabbits and gazelle will never be able to vote about whether they get eaten.
Some modern environmentalists believe that animals, and ‘gaia’ should be more equal than human beings. They base their actions on a marxist faith that ignores reason. Although they sometimes pretend to be helping people, their intent is usually malign.
