Our environmental problems are symptoms. I won’t fight people trying to protect and conserve nature, but the degradation of nature isn’t the problem. Restoring an old growth forest doesn’t change that billions of people are acting in ways to cut down whatever is restored.

Many times I’ve described how the suffering and death we and our culture is causing is orders of magnitude times greater than slavery, so I won’t hesitate describing what I’m doing in terms of slavery.

Also, while I value nature, we have laws to protect people, not as much to protect nature. Many environmentalists point out that since we’re all connected, protecting wildlife is protecting humans. It works the other way too: protecting humans means protecting wildlife, since protecting humans means stopping polluting and depleting.

I’m not trying to heal suffering people’s wounds, though they can use healing. Since nearly nobody else is, I’m trying to lead people benefiting from depriving them of the consent of the governed and their life, liberty, and property to see that they prefer to free their slaves.

I’m also trying to restore my government’s original intent to protect life, liberty, and property and the consent of the governed. These roles are minimum requirements for liberty, freedom, equality, and democracy.
