Le Guin bemoans: "I can't go to the Malheur refuge now, though as a citizen of the United States, I own it and have the freedom of it."

For starters, you don't need to a citizen of the United States to visit federal lands. That's some nativist bullshit to assume otherwise
-
I'm equally as bothered by the idea that Le Guin is saying "I own this here land because freedom!" Uff. It's pathetic and offensive.
-
Le Guin goes on to write, "The people it doesn't belong to and who don't belong there are those who grabbed it by force of arms." HOW SWAY
-
Like Le Guin is mad the land was taken by arms in 2016... but not in 1878? Because taking land by arms is ok if you take it from natives?
-
Like I said, this is the same white entitlement that the Bundys use to claim the refuge. Same exact shit sorry but it is.
-
Le Guin writing that it's "Right-Winged Loonybirds" allows her to distance herself as a liberal—but her argument isn't much different

it ain't ralph tho
