Sounds like a capitalist free zone.
Muir’s legacy has to go? Does this mean we finally get to chop down the redwoods?
Is this satire?
Maybe Che can lead them. He seems to find his way into every other socialist movement.
Environmentalists have confirmed they hate blue collar whites.
Their assault on coal, oil and and timber is purely coincidental. After all, fossil fuels contribute to climate change and mess up nature.
If people who work in carbon-rich extractive industries happen to be white, get rid of them by all possible means fair and fowl like.
America has to pay for the sins of being a gross polluter. No wonder the Left has a communication problem.
Dumping John Muir won’t cure their problem with minorities and women. If it was only a matter of demographics, they should have won this month’s election by a landslide.
Americans simply had other priorities than the so-called Green Agenda on mind for the country’s future.
Yes, environmentalism is the pagan “religion” white liberals have used to replace the Judeo-Christian values of this country’s founders.
One of the concerns noted about Hispanics is that they don’t “volunteer”; I suspect the same is true for blacks, and for a lot of whites (including me). As our standard of living falls, it is hard to give a hoot about something as far down the road as “global warming”...
I could not help but notice that all of the photos of the European Space Agency team that landed the spacecraft on that pesky comet showed... Europeans. How can this be?
I saw an “Operation Repo” episode years ago where some fat white slob was whining about the environment; the repo driver told her she should be more concerned with her car payments. In my experience, environmentalism exists for people living in sin to convince themselves they are “good”.
Typical Marxists. Yesterday’s progressives become todays reactionaries. Under communism the future is known, it’s the past that always changes.
Why should I listen to Jon Christensen?
I vote for that Italian guy who played the crying Indian in those early environmental ads. Who knows? Maybe he was gay, too.
The steady drumbeat of the messages we are getting is that these “ethnic groups” hate white people. In other words, they are racists.
And we’re supposed to cater to thesse groups?
I don’t think so. Let them move on to the greener, more eco-friendly environs of the third world.
OK, so if minorities don’t care about pristine wilderness in the Sierra, leave it to us old white guys to enjoy it and leave us alone.
Without white people, you have no environmental movement.
I hear a certain unarmed teen in MO is up for sainthood.

Jon used a lot of white privilege to get where he is.
Yes, he is an old white guy.
They can’t stay focused on ENVIRONMENT? They have to dilute themselves down with myriad other liberal issues?
Too bad, so sad. Doesn’t it make you mad. (Not)
Also, Muir might have made too much sense. Maybe he was a conservationist, not a fanatic treehugger.
Wasn’t Van Jones once in change of something for
environmental justice.” Make him the spokesperson of color. He’ll need another gig after his bertha on CNN goes under.
You are so right. I used to love camping in CA, especially in areas up in the mountains, with redwoods and running streams, without gang members polluting the streams and setting up roadblocks in their fiesta areas.
