Really reflects so many of the failings of the environmental movement of its era, strung between different modes of performativity, and uninterested in thinking through actual power. From small stuff (like characters throwing their cigarette butts and beer cans into the nature that they profess to want to take radical action to protect) to the big stuff (like casual, cynical denigration of native people who are their actual allies and most significant potential partners).
Not dismissing the value of knowing "how to blow up a pipeline" etc, just don't have patience for the macho martyrdom even when it's packaged in camaraderie and hijinks, especially when it's "all in good fun, nobody gets hurt" or has to grapple with the consequences of their cockamamie strategy. Sorry yall! I share your cause but this weren't it chiefs.
