>>1273162Pretty much everything. But I guess that wasn't the answer you're looking for, so I'll elaborate:
Basically, modern "enviromentalism" isn't centered about the enviroment at all. It is instead intendeed to make it seem like it is.
One example I like to use are electric cars, which are actually worse for the enviroment than almost any other car due to the materials used (aluminium, plastics, batteries). One study I read a few years ago (and sadly forgot to download) claimed that buying and driving a surplus humvee for 200.000 miles would do less damage to the enviroment than only manufacturing a prius, and while I have no way of knowing whether their numbers are correct, the gist of it certainly is.
Yet still, self-proclaimed enviromentalists push for laws prohibiting internal combustion, either because the are to stupid to inform themselves or because they don't give a shit and simply want to jump on the wagon and act as if they were doing something.
Or another, more specific example: Where I live, a bunch of enviromentalists want to ban beekeeping, because they claim that it helps the spread of varroa to wild bees. There are no wild honeybees here (and if there were, they'd been long infected) and varroa doesn't infect solitary bees. But hey, beekeepers are a minority and mostly laidback old men, so it's not like they'll fight back, right?
And don't forget about vegans eating their imported soja that chock full of fungizids and herbizids, yet claim that it's healthier than freshly shot deer.
