    Everything else aside… What the fuck is so urgent about cutting down forests that you need a emergency order to green-light it?

    Has anyone actually done the co2 math and the amount of other gases we have to reverse?

    It will blow your mind. Dont look up.

    Basically everything we have ever consumed for carbonous goods or fuel sources has to be reversed.

    I love that this map still has the Gulf of Mexico.

    I hate that this will be done to our national forests. They’re a natural treasure and should be protected for so many reasons.

      On another thread, another lemming explained that our logging industry can’t even use the trees from national parks because we’ve specialized all of our mills to specifically sized (and possibly specific kinds of?) trees. The trees from national parks would basically just end up being used for pulp instead of building homes or something.

        building homes

        You think anyone in this administration gives a shit about the housing situation!? This is an article about our (We The People) national forests! They’re stripping the country for parts. Fuck, when’s the next date we all protest and march!?

      Why do you think that company is called Palantir lmao. I wish I wasn’t joking, but it is this stupid if you poke around a bit at the neoreactionary obsessions with LOTR.

        Wait, the neoreactionaries actually want to be like Isengard and not like, based trad gondor or something like that? I kinda figured it was just called palantir cause they thought it was a cool reference and cause peter thiel is just naturally sinister like that

          The metaverse is named after a VR program in Snow Crash, in which it is a tool that an evil corporation wants to use to brainwash and enslave all of humanity except for some very rich people. My take is that these dweebs will take any power fantasy they can get, and being the powerful evil organization is a lot easier to actually live out than being the lone hacker with a samurai sword or hobbit or whatever who stops them.

    do you remember when in minecraft you chopped down a forest for wood and didn’t replant it? remember how you had to go to triple the distance to find another one, wasting even more time?

    Not happy with destroying our society anymore. Now they have to physically destroy our country.

    This is what happens when you allow conservatives to have control.

    I’d ask Americans to make better decisions going forward, but we all know that isn’t happening.

    RIP.

    Would be a damn shame if the National Forestry service just started spiking all those trees.

      Would be a shame if the millions of people who cherish our national forests, such as outdoors-people, survivalists, veterans and preppers, just decided that they don’t want their woods chopped down.

      Sure would be a shame if anything kept happening to that expensive logging equipment over and over.
