So, I read this article many years ago
There IS something to be said about how the environmental movement operates, *especially* since the Movement, capital M, as we know it, here in the US, has some exceedingly racist roots. The reason we have National Parks, unfortunately, is because indigenous tribes were forced off that land. And I don't say that to make you feel bad for going to a national park or say that they shouldn't exist, it's just what happened.
There are a lot of environmental orgs today that are still stepping in milquetoast liberal whiteness - think Greenpeace, Sierra Club. These groups HAVE done good work, but they're sometimes frustrating to work with.
And let's not forget The Population Bomb era, which had *devastating* consequences for people who were notably non-white. The ecofash narrative is obviously a very white one.
So, are these articles propaganda? Sometimes. Is the whiteness in environmental spaces exhausting enough to make some people leave? Yeah. Is that a problem for them to solve? No. We all have to take care of ourselves - but the environmental movement is still a necessary one.
