Mike Shellenberger who by his own bio has been called a ‘Hero of the Environment’ by Time magazine put together a fairly fascinating thread about the environmental language the El Paso gunman echoed in his manifesto.

Language largely ignored by the Left and of course, the media.

That Shellenberger is himself an environmentalist and wrote this thread is pretty spectacular.

Take a gander.

El Paso shooter's manifesto also "echoes the language" of mainstream environmentalists and yet for some reason that news isn't fit to print pic.twitter.com/FKDnypKtJn — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 12, 2019

Media doesn’t seem to want to talk about the gunman’s rants about the environment.

Or corporations.

Or anything that might make it seem like Trump isn’t to blame for the shooting.

Shellenberger continued:

The only mention I can find in the New York Times of the El Paso shooter's environmentalism describes it as a "concern for the environment" which is a gross misrepresentation of the essay's noxious anti-humanist Malthusianism pic.twitter.com/3dFpiIx3wt — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 12, 2019

Noxious anti-humanist Malthusianism.

That’s a mouthful.

Thankfully, Shellenberger explained …

As background, mainstream environmentalism from the 1960s to today has always had strong Malthusian, anti-human tendencies and was used to justify everything from sterilization to anti-nuclear fear-mongeringhttps://t.co/atmzCBChVP pic.twitter.com/AakRxK32cY — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 12, 2019

Wow.

No wonder the media isn’t talking about this being in the manifesto.

The New Zealand shooter's manifesto is also filled with toxic Malthusian environmentalism and yet I see no mention of any of that by the Times Here are some selections from his manifesto pic.twitter.com/EysJBqt4zF — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 12, 2019

Nope, the media is focused on the idea that racism drove both of these killers BUT there could be so much more.

Oh, this is described in a few outlets as growing "eco-fascism" on the right. — Ryan (@RyanMaue) August 12, 2019

Sounds a little more intense than eco-fascism but good point.

The response from a left leaning friend about the eco fascist beliefs of both the Dayton and El Paso shooters was , “Neither of those is left wing politics.” Even though most of it appears lifted off the DNC platform. He doesn’t care because it doesn’t support his agenda. — ACDC (@LawsonUBS) August 12, 2019

And at the end of the day what’s most important to the media (and to both political sides) is agenda.
