Eco-fascists in the news when I was a kid: Let's blow up this logging equipment with C4 and chain ourselves to these giant sequoyah trees so they can't log. Maybe later we'll kidnap the owner of a chemical company and ransom him to fund future activities and then I'll breed some hairy legged bitches in our off grid tree house.

Eco-fascists in the news now: Let's throw pies and orange paint at people and block traffic so nobody can get to work and maybe later we'll go to the museum and ruin some priceless art. While wearing skirts.

It's /out/ related because these used to be the warriors for the forest and honestly did save some important trees and parts of ecosystems from logging and development. They made it risky, financially and personally, to target public lands and spaces.

With them all but gone, what's to make government and corporate interests afraid to parcel out and sell off our state and national parks?

As gay and cringe as they were, were they the good guys after all?
