you lumped me with the left wing climate change, socialist group but I'm much more skewed toward the right-wing views like Charles Lindbergh, Ted Kaczynski, Pentti Linkola (anti-technological progress, connection to the soil, to your local community, to the seasons, etc.)

Its not just climate change i care about, it species extinction. I work remote on my own land in the mountains and definitely notice less birds singing.

> except that from a mental health standpoint, that's a highly personal view

suicide rates and drug addiction in our modern society say otherwise

Well that's basically just pastoral socialism, and very similar to what the left advocates anyway. I didn't actually know what you believed when I wrote that and tried not to assume, I was more processing my own experience with that. Furthermore my bigger point, using hysterics and fear tactics to push an agenda, still stands.

Is that because of overconsumption though?
