Yes, this means a ton of carbon ends up in the atmosphere instead of in the trees. The right move would be thinning and prescribed burns, but this administration isn’t going to do that.

    These are our forests. They belong to the US people. They’re being stolen from us. For private profit of a few.

      I mean, as the other guy pointed out, you as a people stole the fucking lot and literally massacred thousands upon thousands of people to do it.

      Shoe’s on the other foot now, eh?

        Ah yes, because native Americans celebrate the raping of their lands as long as the people who took it from them hundreds of years ago descendants (unlikely, given how many generations are immigrants) are also having their lands raped too.

        Get the fuck out here with this brain-rot level argument. 🤦

        Go stir the pot somewhere else.

          You’re right in that it was a comment designed to “stir the pot”, if by that you mean, “make someone stop for a moment and consider their position in history”.

          I agree that any right thinking person, of Native American origin or otherwise should be aghast at the current US administrations utter destruction of everything, from old growth forest to human structures of civilisation.

          Reading it back, my comment sounds flippant and ignorant. That’s on me for commenting pre-coffee and smoke. 💛

            I don’t think you all on .ee can help that, you seem to be solely a propaganda instance.

              Have you even looked at my comment history to decide what kind of person I am, or did you decide that purely from where I registered my account over a year ago?

                Have I seen you around yes, I believe we’ve even interacted before. That said no in don’t profile creep which is why I made a general statement I think I’m probably correct on.

          They did. And created and taught others some of the most reprehensible methods of population control and genocide the world has ever seen.

          Acknowledging it rather than denying it. Learning from the darkest parts of our history, to never have it be repeated is what I want done.

          Ignorance of our history is why it keeps repeating itself. Gestures widely

          “The government” offered money for the task, and thousands took that money and got on with the job.

          “The Government” is people. Usually the worst, most manipulative self-serving people. It does what other people let it get away with.
