TIL wildlife is more important than the lives of people living in a socialist hellhole. L eave the landmines: you might disturb the plants.

Eh, our  very bodies have a similar outlook and response on so many things, we're still alive and better for it.

I read this as “Conservation-focused people are aware that peace between North and South Korea could happen, and it could cause an area formerly protected to be open to human interference. They wish to remind people that this should be accounted for when/if peace happens”

Uh....socialist? You mean totalitarian dictatorship?

Peace between N & S would do little to improve the lives of North Koreans. Un has no intention of loosening his grip on the people's collective throats.

Socialism had nothing to do with it. However, I’m happy that plants, animals and land mines can get along regardless.

It gives me hope for America and Mexico.

The disruption at our border would be catastrophic  for migratory species.

It’s not that it’s more important, it’s that it’s vital for both us and all other living things on earth. Our current global civilization has shown that it will grow at all costs, including the destruction of what little wilderness we have left.

“ Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.” -Edward Abbey

Installing a DMZ around all of Arizona’s borders, both American and Mexican, sounds like a good idea to me.

“ Stop every campesino at our southern border, give him a handgun, a good rifle, and a case of ammunition, and send him home. He will know what to do with our gifts and good wishes. The people know who their enemies are.” -Ed Abbey

Unfortunately we only give guns to the assholes making the honest man’s life hell down there.

I hope for the good of humanity that more guns aren’t given to people in the northern  border region.

Having grown up hiking and exploring around our border, the over development and increased pollution caused by the overpopulation of the regions is already screwing things up for migratory species. We’ve only had two jaguars spotted over the last few decades, and decided to build a mine in the mountains one of them made home. The Mexican greywolf almost went extinct, and now people are poaching the few that have been released.

A wall definitely won’t help things, but a problem already exists, and that problem largely has to do with too many people and too much “development”.

True, but guns won’t help

Give them to the right people, not the cartels in Sinaloa and Mexico City.

I’ve lived my whole life around people fleeing your country. Wonderful people who lost their homeland. I think they deserve it back. Once they’ve reclaimed their land, then they can help out their brothers and sisters further south.

Instead what we have now is an machine designed to exploit people stretching the entire continent. Those of us in the middle and upper classes benefit greatly from this machine. That’s not humanity, it’s disgraceful.

History has shown that there are only two ways for people to free themselves from oppression. Knowledge and force.

What’s happening now is that these people are being exploited by various parties. One is content to let them rot in villages throughout north and central America . The other will gladly accept their cheap labor for political and economic gains.

The political and upper classes of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and  Honduras have shown they accept the status quo. There’s really only one option left.

“The right people” is not an easy group to spot. Thus far there must be hundreds of militia groups who claim to fight everything from corruption, to organized crime, to even environmental disasters. Yet the only place where giving people guns has worked is Cherán, and under this new government I have my doubts it’s gonna last as a self governing entity for very long .

Mostly what these groups do is take over the policing of an area and then impose whatever stupid regime they want, be it allowing drugs to be passed around there, or allowing human trafficking, or charging unevenly high taxes, or even applying conscription upon the young people of the towns.

I have nothing against trying to replicate the experiment carried out in Cherán, and I love their use of delegated autonomy as an indigenous group, but it’s gonna take more than giving guns...

Like I said, knowledge and force, in that order. The people of Cherán get it.
