@metasophocles Agreed. Conservation is nationalist
Theodore Roosevelt nationalist naturalist, best president or first American King? only history will decide
I wish Trump would Trust Bust like Teddy on Silicon Valley
I wonder if we shouldn't be more vocal about things like environmentalism and worker protections.
I'd support that
Lincoln was the first imperialist President (as opposed to just expansionist), Teddy just took it overseas.
Perhaps that would confuse the MAGApedes, but I think we could pick up a lot of support from independents that lean left.
@Gimlet an anti-human trafficking action could be good too
We're the most environmentally conscience people on the planet, literaly
Sure. The coyotes on the border are awful.
@Nerv - VA yeah there is lol.
Worker protections are nice in theory. In practice they’ve created far less trust between employers and employees.
Yeah, we could construct a _much_ more coherent platform that includes leftist talking points than the Democrats could ever muster.
The founder of Earth First and the most famous post-Muir head of the Sierra club both opposed immigration
I think the environmentalist angle is almost a no brainer that is well within any normies sensibilities
@Asatru Artist - MD that is exactly what happened to David Brower
Imagine being a modern environmentalist: you want to clean up the world but you have no problem with feces, needles and homeless blacks in your streets.
Yeah, I think co-opting Democrat talking points (which have become just that and nothing more) is a great tactic.
Truth.
The most effective conservation organizations dollar for dollar and square foot of habitat are the hunting orgs- Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, National wild turkey federation
Approach from the hunting/outdoorsman type of environmentalism not the leftist anti-human type
I generally prefer the approach taken in The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Epstein
Yes @metasophocles. Modern environmentalists spend no time in nature.
Right, @Nemets. I mean, to embrace environmental conservatism would put us at odds with the GOPe.
@Nemets we don't necessarily have to talk about global warming. We can get by just talking about pollution and plastics etc. *que image of Indian trash river*
So many metapolitical angles of approach such as the pro-nuclear power and the energy independence approach
@Asatru Artist - MD There are some valid arguments in favor of less restrictive abortion policies, but that advertisement was very creepy
Seems like it would make more people anti than pro abortion
My fiancé’s mother is a teacher in elementary school. She has a lot of Honduran students. The school just issued a statement explaining their low test scores as “caused by fear from the Trump administration.”
There seems to be so many angles that we could take this.
We could construct entire opposing political movements to fulfill our goals.
@Alexander Pechorin that would be funny if it wasn't so sad and ridiculous
tug at a single thread
and the whole weave unravels
Almost as though we act as minor Norns.
although such a comparison is hardly justified...
The problem isn’t carbon the problem is not enough nitrogen. 🤯
@Asatru Artist - MD I can imagine.
@Asatru Artist - MD I pity those people more than anything else.
