You are missing the point. The mass media went on the offensive against deep ecologists and Black radicalism in the aftermath of the Colin Ferguson and the Ted Kaczynski killings. If we blame the "hate speech" of the Tea Party for Loughner, why not blame deep ecologists as well? After all, some of them--as Furedi's people pointed out--believed the world would be better off if the human race disappeared. In terms of "barbarism", you also have to engage with how ordinary people who are not part of the left engage with radical activism. For example, deep ecologists have set fire to research facilities at Michigan State University. What if an innocent worker had been killed in the blaze, as happened in Athens? ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
