Of course it is, it's fucking stupid and pathetic.
Not ignoring there is a link between capitalism and global warming. I'd agree 100% with that.
But linking that back to colonisation is so myopic it hurts.
You gonna tell me that China has zero emissions?
How about Russia?
If you use that kind of bleeding heart ideology, literally everything can be 'causally linked' to colonisation. Perfect for victimhood.
Not arguing against some of what the guy says, but hedging it causally is stupid. It's a tangential issue.
If he were to talk about industrialisation instead of colonisation, then I would have some respect for him.
Anything else just comes across as indoctrinated agenda pushing. And I'm not right wing. I don't throw those words around like memes.
