that’s a whole lot of toothpicks
Imagine what these trees would have looked like up close!
As a Washingtonian these pics always make me sad. Thankfully there’s more preservation these days, but I would have loved to see these majestic trees still standing.
Oregonian here but same. There’s nothing quite like hiking PNW old growth, and to imagine the forests used to be mostly these giants.
Unpopular opinion, all these fucks who got hurt or worse cutting these trees down deserved it.
The members of timber dynasties (e.g. wheeler, as well many others) would have deserved it. These laborers rarely had other options but to starve. Ethics under capitalism or whatever.
Seems sustainable.

“Values”.
Ugh.
Proud to have butchered those magnificent living beings…
I used to be like them…
Cultural-brainwashing’s really effective in “forming” children…
“The Rogue Hypnotist” wrote a little book on cultural-trance, to try to get more people to consider & understand its workings…
