  • I'm sorry but you're just totally ignorant on what you are talking about. I recommend reading Tending the Wild by anthropologist M Kat Anderson to educate yourself.

    Indigenous land management was often more intensive than what we have been doing with uncultivated lands and indigenous groups in my local area have been trying to tell people for decades that it's partially our neglect of these practices that are causing some of the problems we see today. So ironically you are the one who has not been listening.

  • I'm not saying they created issues, but I am saying they also had a fairly intensive system of land management. So if we move to a system of little or no human intervention, that's not a state that has existed for tens of thousands of years and we don't know what that looks like. Could involve major ecosystem shifts, species extinctions, major fires, who knows.

  • And their political opponents too...

  • Unfortunately I'm not sure how you could handle all propaganda. As long as you have oligarchs and states it will exist.

  • So unbelievably petty...

    Bovino what?

  • All leaders have to care about the people's will. Their personal opinions don't matter. They can't stay in power without a base of support.

    The protesters have drawn attention, created difficult situations for ICE, and even sacrificed their lives to harm the administration's PR. They are directly responsible for the shift in swing voter sentiment. The resistance is working. Maybe not as well as we would like but it is helping.

  • Did he? I didn't think the videos were clear enough to see but maybe I missed it.

  • I'm talking about indigenous land management practices. It's been a very long time since most places were not being managed by humans in some way.

  • So they make no mention of any accidental firearm discharge. Some have speculated this could have been a reason for the shooting since there was no obvious reason visible in the videos, but there continues to be no evidence of this.

  • 100%. Sadly by US standards being reachable by transit at all is above average for a big park like this.

  • So you think do nothing and hope the fires even out? I have wondered about this but it's not clear what would happen since our ecosystems have not operated that way for tens of thousands of years--and had dozens of now extinct megafauna engineering them back then.

  • That's what I mean though. They all do this. This is why it's so dumb that people think Gavin Newsom is some hardcore resistance leader. He definitely hired a skilled person to make those posts but beyond that, it's got little to do with him.

  • While I'm sure that would work, I don't support conscription.

  • I was genuinely unaware of this. What was it about?

  • I love this topic but I feel like no one has a realistic solution for how we're going to manage huge ecosystems in a very labor intensive fashion. I don't think it's really possible in the current socioeconomic context.

    The natives did it by having the entire community involved. We may need to move towards something like that.

  • Not me but apparently they've confirmed they're looking into this "glitch".

  • lol embarrassing but if you think only republicans have staffers doing their social media then I don't know what to tell you.

    The forces that create these outcomes are systemic and can only changed by changing the system itself.

    Edit: unless we think this came from the Trump admin? But I don't know how that could be confirmed.

  • This is very obviously true in my hallucination of reality.

  • Oh for sure I'm not implying the Trump administration is over or anything, but this is just the first time I can ever recall the right not immediately and universally rallying around the most patently false bullshit imaginable.

    That said, if they actually pull out of Minneapolis as news reports were indicating, I think this is a huge defeat for the Trump administration. I'm sure they will try to come up with a new plan as you say but it's still a big tactical win to defeat this particular strategy since I think it was pretty clear and easy how it was going to work.
