To the people of Wyoming...

That's one thing they have in common with most conservatives. Welcome to the human race where everyone is irrational...except you of course.

Yes, many people are irrational. No, generally speaking most conservatives are very rational and not very emotional by definition. I'm emotional and extremely rational to a fault. So, my wife tells me. Of course once in a while I'm completely irrational.

Have a gander at the work of Jonathan Haidt. Very illuminating regarding why and how the left/right think.

yah, his philanthropy toward things WE ALL love is hard to match too. He lives very simple He does not act like a rich snob. he gives tons of money to wildlife and resource protection and public land protection. I will buy patagonia whenever i can afford it. (which is rare). The best part about it is through Patagonia he has found a way to extract money from people who would likely never give a dime toward wildlife protection and he uses that money to put toward wildlife/land protection.

And he donates a lot of money to anti hunting organizations.

And he has disdain and contempt for those who don’t hunt and fish like him based on his interview.

He wanted to get rid of the constitution because the people he supported did not win in the last election s.

He came across at times as an arrogant self centered elitist.Hes a good marketer and self promoter though.

He manufactures his clothing now in China one of the most polluted and corrupt countries in the world and moved his operations out of America. His Chinese workers are underpaid and have no rights. Sounds like exploitation of fellow human beings to me to make a quick buck.

Patagonia is very good at employing virtual signaling in their marketing campaigns

Even Rinella called him out for being a hypocrite

Is there actual proof of that? Or, are you simply reciting what his mission statements say? I truly don't know but, you included a lot of stuff in your description of him.


I'm hung like a horse and do porn movies too.



While my last sentence isn't true, I can sure make it seem that way if I can get a couple of people to repeat the same. See my point?

From the original post:

"The fine folks of Wyoming must be doing something right if that anti-hunter, elitist, billionaire, thinks it's a lost cause. I sure hope it stays that way!"

Sure sounds like JWP is using the fact that he's a billionaire to try to turn people against him.

One thing I know is that he'll do more in his lifetime for conservation than everyone on this thread put together. Not because he cares anymore than most of us, but because he's positioned himself in life to be able to.

Care to give examples of that? Before you do, would you care to recite the definition of conservation?

 

[WV Mountaineer]

There is two types of "conservation". The REAL conservation that is understood by hunters and managed by states based on science and individual populations and then the conservation that Yvon gives the majority of his money to. He gives whole bunch of money to organizations that are doing all they can to take away hunting. That's just a little too much for me to want to warm up to the guy.

BHA, First Lite, Meateater, and everyone else these days scream about your public lands being transferred into state control as the greatest threat to hunting in today's world when not a single acre has gone from federal to state control. While they have told everybody what to think, those other "conservationists" have slipped in and actually taken away hunting rights with hunters not even so much as making a sound. In the last five years we have lost the right to hunt black bears in New Jersey, trap in California, and hunt grizzlies in BC (also the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem if you count that as a loss. I do).

Other anti-hunting actions include preventing the delisting of the wolf in the great lakes area, not being able to hunt with dogs or bait for bears in Colorado, no spring hunt for bears in Colorado, practically no predator hunting of any kind in California, the list could go on. Where was (is) the outrage when these things happened (are happening)?

I just say be careful who you get into bed with. The sierra club used to support hunting at one point too. While I understand public land is crucial for our way of hunting out west, don't get so one dimensional about preserving the tradition of hunting. Hunting is being attacked from more than just the public land route, and if it keeps going the way I see it today, we are gonna end up with a whole lot of public land and no hunting. Kinda defeats the purpose.

BOOM SHAKA LAKA!

 

[WV Mountaineer]

All this talk about the conservationists he is. All he does for the environment. Are you guys brain dead? Do you realize the same organizations he proclaims to want to protect public lands against, is what he depends upon to make his clothes? Petroleum is used to fuel the plants that make many of his clothes. Not to mention the material in his clothes.


Sheeple. They crack me up with their wisdom.

Based of Rinella’s previous comments, I don’t think he’s a liberal. Probably a hunter/conservationist foremost, but definitely not a liberal.

I think many of Yvons statements made Rinella uncomfortable, and Rinella called him on his hypocrisy, in the most polite manner he could.

I’m still at a bit of a loss at why they had him on as a guest in the first place. I think either Rinella failed to do his research, or underestimated the level of elitist douche he would be dealing with.

I’ve always admired Rinella being able to avoid polarizing politics in his podcast, but he struggled in this one due to who he was interviewing. I’m going to hope he learned his lesson, otherwise he might lose me as a listener.

Whoa broseph, you gotta step your conservation game up. Everybody knows he was a keynote speaker at the last micro-brew circle jer....rendezvous. I mean his son is shank'in wild pigs in the ocean, his girl is breaking deer necks and such. He's just a Gucci-good ol' boy....



There's a recent beauty from patagucci. Apparently grizzly bears are going extinct....weird.

Yeah, finding out he was a keynote speaker @BHA reaffirms my initial hesitation with joining.

Anyone who questions the constitution as outdated, or who is so myopic they can’t understand why the founders gave each state two senators no matter their size can **** off. Any organization that invites said person as a keynote speaker certainly isn’t getting a dime from me.

I like Rinella, but at times I don’t think he can see the forest through the trees with guys like Yvon. The guy loathes his country and everything it stands for.

haha.... 150+ replies here on RS... Rinella knows exactly what he is doing. I also feel like Rinella leans left (which im ok with) (I tend to lean that way when it comes to pollution)

If you consider the EPA as part of the success in cleaning up the air and water, you should remember it was not started by the left, but by Nixon, by executive order.

Not as concerned about who started it but feel its needs attention. Clean lakes, rivers and streams are very important to me.

Just establishing the fact that you don’t have to “lean left” to care about the environment, pollution, etc...

i think its hard to argue that the “left” doesn't do more for the environment than the “right” sometimes way overboard but still better. Its the only check mark I give them.

Nothing wrong with that. Like I said, I want clean water and clean air. But an all out war on all things CO2? Nope.

I hope everyone feels that way, I certainly do.

we have been dealing with the mills dumping into Lk Michigan. A few big fish kills and beaches closed... disgusts me.

ChounTARD a "keynote speaker". HA ! Dude isnt a hunter . BHA has reeked of liberalism from the get go. Land Tawney .... Dude is a serious Liberal and a former member of Montana Sportsmen for Obama Committee. The list goes on. https://www.activistfacts.com/person/land-tawney/ He is slick for sure and has fooled many legit hunters to climb aboard the green wave. No Bueno. We shouldn't have to "sell" hunting and pander to Greenies or anyone for that matter. People either get it or they don't. Nothing wrong with conversing and educating others about our lifestyle when the time is right but putting mouth to teat of Anti hunters and obvious Greenies is plain wrong.
