I think they are different, maybe my argument is weak.

Indiscriminate attack in the racial context is somehow tied with extreme oppression, I like to use the example of how Palestinians in Gaza support the use of widespread violence despite of the harsh consequences. In other contexts, violence and propaganda by the deed are alienating in others of extreme lack of hope they are cherished.

Now, for eco-extremism the "oppression" is usually not experienced firsthand, it comes from a empathetic feeling towards something abstract as "Nature". There's a severe level of ideology involved, when racial revolts or anticolonial uprisings are drives by the general experience of oppression.

I would actually argue that the main "oppression" eco-extremism is concerned with - civilization - is a force virtually everyone experiences firsthand. There are of course different degrees to one's experience of civilization as oppressive, but the same can be said about racism. So I don't know if your argument holds. The two contexts could be quite similar. For instance, there might be indigenous eco-extremists who act from a position of extreme oppression, trauma and lack of hope - one they share with anti-racists engaging in indiscriminate attacks.

The only case that I would agree with you is the case of indigenous people being massacred by mining, deforestation and other activities. The average city dweller and ever the person already inserted in the modern world don't have in their daily life situations akin to what BIPOC suffer in the context of racism and xenophobia.

When we say eco-extremism, generally we don't talk about indigenous people, maybe in Chile one of the objectives is disguise as Indigenous as possible bc at the end you are descendants of the indigenous people, but again they are not the indigenous themselves.

I think you're right. Do we know though, that there are no indigenous eco-extremists? Tried looking into this briefly yesterday, but couldn't immediately find anything.

I do know of indigenous uprising, but the whole "eco-extremism" thing is a very recent ideology as a such, maybe you could see elements of eco-extremism in some amazon tribes, mapuches and many other indigenous people fighting for their land and their way of life. For me eco-extremism is really tied to attassa and ITS, so maybe in Chile ITS really have ties with the Mapuche struggle. For me this ideology is alien to any indigenous people, it's a Trojan horse like national anarchism, you can see the entryism of European fascist groups in this milieu. Terrorist attack are not a thing for any indigenous movement and the alignment of ITS with O9A (with Luciferiana European mythology) demonstrate this.

I don't know where you're getting this from tbh. The Bougainvillians against Australia. The Niger Delta warriors against the UK. The Mujahideen against Russia...

Mujahideen u pushed to far mate, they are native alright but indigenous suppose a different category of people.

Fuck off with this ITS apologia

The Niger Delta warriors bombing the oil corporations (indiscriminately killing hundreds so far, including children) aren't eco enough for you?

Mujahideen u pushed to far mate, they are native alright but indigenous suppose a different category of people.

I'm guessing that category of people is 'cuddly natives who white people think are cool'?

Here's the story about the most cuddly of all natives, Ishi, last of the Yahi tribe, and the terror his people inflicted on everyone who wasn't Yahi: https://ia-petabox.archive.org/details/IshiAndTheWarAgainstCivilizationSecondEdition/

Buuut I doubt you'll see what's in front of you, and will instead, again, try to redefine what is meant by indigenous, or what is meant by terror, or what is meant by eco. I'm reminded of this letter: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ted-kaczynski-ted-k-responds-to-kevin-tucker

"In my extensive correspondence with Kevin, he would never under any circumstances admit that he was wrong about anything. Whenever I pointed out a fact that he found inconvenient, he would manipulate words, assigning eccentric meanings to them in order to make the inconvenient fact go away."

Ok, I don't want to win this debate..

Is not me that is trying to change the definitions every post. But anyways eco-terrorism and eco-extremism are new concepts. Its like saying that the old Incas were Maoists or other fake correlation.

Why the continuous need to legitimize the movement appropriating indigenous struggle? If you want to be eco extreme go for it, you don't need anyone seal of approval..

And quoting uncle Ted is pointless for me, he was a protofash incel imho.

Sometimes Raddle is everything what the people criticize.

what's your problem with terror, styx?

yes, some non-white and some indigenous people are terrorists. some white people are terrorists. idk why an anarchist would be so upset about this.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170706075719/http://anarchistnews.org/content/indiscriminate-anarchists

and no, being a terrorist doesn't make you a fascist. using asymmetrical violence (usually for political ends, but also anti-political) makes you a terrorist. again, idk why an anarchist would be so upset about the idea.

you might not like him, but obvs ted k isn't a fascist. and obvs neither am i. it says a lot about you two that you can't hold a conversation without resorting to bookchin-esque name calling with anyone who disagrees with you.

Banned for daring to disagree with one of the mods. Nice.

BTW, one of your other mods sent me a PM saying they'd call the cops on me. Real nice /anarchism you've got yourself here.

No reply to my question about terrorism, of course.

The communiques of the varied eco-extremist groups claim indigeneity. 'The old gods', 'the sacred ground', 'the ancestors' etc are constant themes in all the eco-extremist writing I've read since the mid 2010s.

kin wrote

I would say that claiming indigeneity is not a the same as being part of the indigenous struggle.

I don't want to imply they are appropriating, but in Latin America virtually any brown people are descendant of indigenous people but this dont make them allies (in many cases they would be against any indigenous struggle).

I would believe if the Mapuche declares support for them ,for example
