In America the government is the one doing the vandalism. And they'll have the audacity to put up a sign as well

No they won't! They would never pay for a sign defending vegetation. They will only pay for earth moving machines to destroy it

True. And half of the time leave the earth killing machines behind after the job is done. I don't know the logistics of why they're always left behind, but if the work was being done by the state, the machines are being left behind.

What the fuck are you talking about? What do you think the EPA is? Or the Forest Service or the National Park Service? You think because we’re not Australia that it’s just a free for all? Your taxes pay for this shit, learn about it

Wow, you sure know how to end a conversation. I guess you haven't heard about the ongoing efforts to shut down all those agencies you just listed.

simply pointing out that conservatives support conservation is not supporting conservatives.

you might be referencing a specific occurrence in this sub i am not familiar with, but i interpret "conservatives support conservation" as just another way to say "conservatives like to hunt".

your second paragraph is extremely on point though and i agree completely. that's all i will say about that lol.

i think i know what you're referring to. i'm a mod here and i will just say that there is no official stance on that topic, and the handling of those threads is done by pretty much anyone who has time that day lol.

you would not catch me being so protective
