Reply #18: Derrick Jensen Is a Dangerous Reactionary

[BakedAtAMileHigh]

Go ahead, read his work; what you will find very quickly is a push for something beyond even traditional methods of birth and population control: Jensen believes that millions of human beings need to die in order for the planet to survive. He constantly wishes for large-scale natural disasters to "reset the balance" and even advocates -- in one of the books you detail in your post -- little tricks "eco-activists" can pull to help it along, like ruining water supplies, engaging in sabotage, etc.

Don't be fooled by his readable style and moderately affable authorial voice: Derrick Jensen would be happy if we lived in a new Dark Age.
