Liberalism, Progressivism, Communism and Socialism all bear a huge burden of guilt for the oppression and destruction of man.
Christianity brought us Hospitals, Universities, Caring for the Aged and your fellow man.
Environmentalism seeks the oppression of man, by making the "Environment", not the benefit of man, the primary focus. "Death Panels", "Survival of the Fittest", Euthanasia and Abortion are surly in its wake.
Do not seek for such, for such is only Ruination and Despair.
Arthur Schopenhauer, the original animal rights guru in Germany in the mid 1800’s, made similar arguments that Lynn White made in the 1960’s - but - he also targeted especially the Jews. Schopenhauer is also considered by some environmental historians to be one of the primary pioneers of what is today called environmental ethics. Such environmental historians, of course, ignore his anti-Semitism. This also becomes very ominous indeed precisely because Adolf Hitler’s favorite philosopher was Arthur Schopenhauer, and that the first piece of legislation that the Nazis really pushed in 1933 was an animal rights law, which was aimed directly at the Jews and their practice of kosher ritual slaughter on Passover, was no coincidence.
