Reply to comment by Riff316 in Thunberg, Indigenous protesters block Norway energy ministry over wind farms by p4177y

Keep in mind that when advocating for any proposed action, you will always be infringing on another groups desire. It's just that "we" have decided to give merit to one groups desires over another groups' desires. It's not nuanced as you point out, it's just you value others demands more than another's and you think to make snide comments as if the other commenter doesn't understand your level of "nuanced".

In sum, it's not nuanced. It's "not in my back yard", at its finest.

  1. Are you drawing a distinction between “desire” and rights? That might be an important one.

  2. I love the insinuation that indigenous tribes are the same as suburban nimbys. Why don’t we just put wind farms on land that’s already been zoned away from indigenous populations? We have plenty of those here in Ohio and they haven’t harmed wildlife or farming efforts. People still act like they do, but again, not a lot of evidence.
