       > When Aaron Mair ascended to the board presidency of the Sierra
       Club, he brought a new mission to the century-old environmental
       group: Where once it devoted itself solely to conservation
       issues, now it would embrace a much broader range of social
       justice causes.
       >
       > Mair came from the environmental justice movement, where
       communities of color battle against industrial pollution rarely
       seen in wealthier, whiter areas. The movement has DNA more akin
       to the civil rights movement than John Muir’s reason for
       founding the Sierra Club: conserving streams and forests.
       --- End Quote ---
       This is why I have always ideologically distinguished between
       environmentalism (leftist) and conservationism (rightist). The
       latter is not opposed to industrialization as a whole (much less
       Western civilization as a whole), but merely wants to keep it
       partitioned so that Westerners can enjoy both the Industrial
       Revolution and the wilderness at the same time. Actual
       environmentalists, unlike conservationists, do not necessarily
       even enjoy personally spending our free time in the wilderness.
       For us, it was never about saving the environment so that we can
       then sustainably enjoy recreational activities in the
       wilderness, but about saving the environment because it is a
       victim of violence initiated by Western civilization.

       American Civil Liberties Union, the National Center for
       Transgender Equality and the NAACP in demonstrations backing the
       Voting Rights Act.
       >
       > Mair’s arrival accelerated then-executive director Michael
       Brune’s own progressive moves. Brune had taken over just a few
       years before from the Rainforest Action Network, a more
       activist, protest-oriented group. He took the Sierra Club in an
       overtly political direction, aligning it with the Democratic
       Party to create a “green line” of defense, as environmental
       groups called it, against Republican policies in Congress.
       >
       > Under Mair and Brune, records show, the Sierra Club funneled
       its own funds into the groups Black Lives Matter and Showing Up
       for Racial Justice. In 2017, Brune threw the club’s support
       behind citizenship for children brought to the country
       illegally. In June 2021, Sierra Club backed reparations for
       Black Americans. It changed its definition of environment to the
       “environmental health of all communities, especially those
       communities that continue to endure deep trauma resulting from a
       legacy of colonialism, genocide, land theft, enslavement, racial
       terror, racial capitalism, structural discrimination, and

       In the environmentalist view, therefore, caring also about other

       environment is spontaneous. It is only conservationists who do
       not get this:
       --- Quote ---
       > While many people within the Sierra Club saw this
       transformation as a predominantly white organization’s belated
       embrace of diversity and inclusion, others saw it as an
       abandonment of core principles. Either way, a group that was
       once a non-partisan advocate for clean air and clean water had
       become a full-fledged combatant in the nation’s culture wars.

       > “I don’t really know where it stands,” Guy Saperstein, a

       Unsurprisingly, it is Green politicians who are the first to
       understand the need to accept climate refugees, as our enemies

       > Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine early last year, Ireland’s
       progressive government has taken a radically open borders
       approach to migrants and refugees, allowing in a total of around
       70,000 into a country of just five million people.

       climate refugees on top of this influx have shocked even some of

       does not have the capability to deal with the additional influx.

       Let the climate refugees themselves decide this! If Ireland is
       worse than where they are fleeing from, they will not flee to
       Ireland! So long as they are coming in, it means that Ireland is
       at least an improvement over where they previously were! It is
       that simple!

       You didn't worry about capability to deal with influx when you
       were taking in Ukrainians, you ethnonepotist!

       > Flanagan’s sentiment that Ireland is now beginning to struggle
       under its own open borders commitments has been echoed by the
       country’s Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, who has now publicly
       warned that the island nation is running out of places to put
       the large number of new arrivals.

       > According to the Irish Times, Varadkar has noted that the
       country’s ability to look after migrants is now wearing thin,

       accommodation to everyone who arrives in the country – that’s
       just the reality of the situation”.

       You don't have to "guarantee accommodation" for them. You just
       have to NOT BLOCK THEM FROM ENTERING! All we are asking for is
       no initiation of violence!
