Unpopular opinion: Ursula K. Le Guin's letter is also inaccurate, irresponsible. And it's based in the same white entitlement as the Bundys

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
