View this post on Hive: Wonders of Whakatane - Nativism, a Destructive Form of Environmentalism
Since the Steem blockchain became a centralized, top-down dominated place, where control and censorship thrive, I have decided to move my content. Don't worry, though, all my posts and up and doing well on the decentralized Hive blockchain. Come and check it out!

This is sooo complex and I understand it from 2 sides: as an ex-Aussie who has lived with this nativist mentality, and as someone living in Asia where very little is really native, and it just appears that way, since the timeframes are so much longer. In the end, the ecosystems like Australia and New Zealand are rendered MORE VULNERABLE by this "keep the invaders out" mindset.
The cherry tree, glyphosate episode is soooo disturbing from a number of angles. Worrying for the birds and the critters, and wondering where they get these ideas from!!!!!
Please send your mom a hug. And know that your irritation, anger, grief and profound frustration are both heard, and understood.

Thanks for relating from both of your viewpoints, @artemislives. I realize this is quite a controversial issue, so I assumed I wasn't going to get many replies. I'm glad you proved to be the exception. :-)
As for where these disturbing ideas come from, I think the answer is clear. It is not from the mind of an actual person, but something freakish like a government body. It's the usual story, where the best intentions lead to the most horrible practices. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not always very fast with the @ecotrain comments, but I DO actually read and comment on every single post (other than the spammers) which uses the tag. Most of them get an upvote. I wish I could do more. Please keep writing about nativism and maybe use the homesteading and gardening tags? Both communities have some great people who need to read more of your thoughtful content.

Wow! So much respect for that! I hardly can keep up commenting on all the posts I find interesting! Thank you for that. Upvotes are easier, but less personal. There are so many posts each day I remember reading, upvoting and wanting to comment on later, but I usually never get around to it.
Tags are a tricky thing, as I don't want to use tags that are unrelated to the post. I had this discussion with @eco-alex, and he told me to use ecotrain on anything good I write, be it bike related or murals, or whatever. And although homesteading might be somewhat related to this particular post, it's still kinda a borderline case. Thanks for the advice, though, I'll try to keep it in mind for the next time. The other thing is, I just found out we were allowed ten tags instead of five! Especially in my Whakatane series you'll notice how I've been juggling between topics, communities, and these new kinda tribes, like palnet, which I could be using more too.
