I don't think it's hate, I think it's more not giving a fuck. To them, they have already experienced the nature and they have no use for it anymore because they will die soon. So it is easier to destroy any chance of sudden fallen trees, or kill them before they die naturally and harbor termites, or to have a better view of the waterfront, etc. Boomers are well known for only giving a fuck about themselves. Boomers especially have a fucking huge fear of trees falling.
Bought a house with a few acres and the old boomer owners had a fuck huge burn pit that scorched a dozen trees by it. They also brought a ton of rocks in to lay at the bases of the remaining trees, which if you don't know is fucking awful for them. They tied metal fence like wire to one tree, have metal braided wire around another, both of these choking off trees. Most of these trees are pines or hickory.
They wrapped a metal chain holding a swing around a major limb of a large magnolia which effectively killed it - our neighbors were actually mad at us for taking the swing down because their kids played on it. Literally a month later the branch the swing was on fell. Fucking retards.

he is and thats what im doing. in fact im already in the process of restoring the pond. im planning to make it into lightly treed shrubland full of edible native plants. that way it can provide tonnes of food for wildlife as it recovers.

My father is obsessed with constantly spraying carcinogenic bug or weed killer all over the place and simply ignores me when I offer to do it instead with non-toxic alternatives (diatomaceous earth and vinegar weed killer)
He also trims trees way too often and at the wrong times of year even when I directly inform him of this
I hate him so much

>>4898405
Stop visiting him (for your own health). Then when he gets cancer, just keep sending him memes of all the sprays he used with the carcinogens highlighted.

They're retarded. They don't have an agenda, they're just dumb and have as much foresight as the average teenager they complain so much about. You also have managed to surround yourself with idiots. Work on changing that first.

That's the problem with Jewish religions like Christianity and Islam, they're told the world and everything in it was made special just for them so they don't respect anything.
At least most polytheistic or animism-based religions avoid the usual monotheistic contradictions by having apathetic dieties/spirits creating for their own sake.

I had a coworker like that who killed spiders on sight. After enough attempts I convinced her not to, and later she openly bragged how she saves them now and puts them outside.

I bought a house a few years ago and planted tons of fruit trees and flowers. Ive had dozens of anonymous complaints left on my house to the city code enforcers for having too many plants (not in violation of any ordanances) and the cops luckily dont give a fuck.

Lol, I don't want to shit on boomers too much because they're an easy target, but come on. That seems like a deeply ingrained hatred for nature.
Your >>4898391 story too, even if you say it's not hate, that almost seems like a deliberate way to fuck with trees as much as it is in their capacity, which doesn't have to be good or bad, it's just very noticeable

>>4898382
I can feel you op. Maybe it's just some kind of cope because they're the first ones to endorse a dog eat dog society but most of them are actually beta losers, though literally every one act like some kind of chadthundercock alpha, even when they're dumb, fat, poor and ugly by any standard. So they must vent their inner frustration to something.

you have to realize how boomers grew up. they were smack dab in the middle of that typical image of an american family in the suburbs with white picket fence and neatly-trimmed radioactive green lawn. that is the ultimate status symbol to them. maybe the more intrepid dads would take the family vacationing in actual nature every now and then but i'm willing to bet many did not and only knew a suburban hellscape all their childhood. weird things like trees and bushes and flowerbeds and gardens where the lawn should be cause them to act out with petty contempt and other passive-aggressive woman behaviors but deep down it frightens them. it's unnatural to them.

>>4898394

>shoves dog and cat into tiny apartment 23.5 hours a day
why do xillenials hate nature so much?

The big, old cypress tree that was half the reason I bought my house started dying so I had to cut it down. I'm so sad bros. My old neighbors hated me for it, but when I showed them the holes in the stump from where it was rotting from the inside they mourned with me. If I had gotten the property a few years before maybe I could have saved it.

>>4898803
This is very much the reality of the situation. It’s why they also view the use of poison as a first and not last resort. They’ve got this hyper-fixation on having as much of uniform, perfectly extruded, homogeneous, factory finish aesthetic because to them that is a symbol of success. Otherwise you’re a hippie or a hillbilly and definitely poor. Poors can’t afford to chemically castrate a whole field. The worst shock I ever had in this respect was this ‘exterminator’ vendor coming to my house trying to sell shit. One of the things he tried to convince me to do was pay him to poison the spiders on the outside of my house. This was considered a marketable service by him. It’s a really soul killing, rotten ideology.

>>4898905
Cats arent allowed outdoors. Dogs only have to be outside max 3 hours a day.

This thread is actually making me hate my dad less, because it's helping me realize/remember that he was just born into a generation of obligate retards and that it was never reasonable to hold him to human standards.

>>4898474

>One of the things he tried to convince me to do was pay him to poison the spiders on the outside of my house. This was considered a marketable service by him.
I don't know whose fault it is, but spiders really need someone to redo their branding, people will stomp or poison them without a thought to their usefulness or if they even pose any danger at all

I just think this thing has to do some kind of psychological issues though. You can dominate a completely passive landscape and find reasons to have it obliterated so you can fulfill your need for control and a semblance of power. It's useless, destructive, by no means necessary, but it requires less work than actively thinking about creative and constructive ideas. My dad did the same in his garden. The beautiful old ass tree at the end of it got wrecked because much branches too big. Silly geese. The lot of em.

Most people won't think twice and realize they are the product of a generation, and have ideas of what is valuable or not that could be really destructive. In this regard it is important to educate people on the impermanent nature of what they instinctively consider as fruitful. To the industry corporate footsoldier, hyper normality fixated on a few key artificial artifacts equals not only success but also tokens representative of a good life. In the desolation of nature, in the celebration of unsustainable artificiality they will rejoice and find joy. The rich white hippie family will have other such tokens and artifacts. And so will the butchery work who lives paycheck to paycheck. It's not about us. It never was about us. We are transitory, and we matter only as much as we can preserve what is objectively (meaning not personally) fruitful, and as much as we fight against what is objectively destructive. Nature doesn't descriminate, and we should be thankful for this. Otherwise, we would have been wiped a long time ago for the horrendous little pest we can be.

>>4899459
This is unfortunately not tinfoil hat bullshit. It is 100% true. Chemical companies lobbied like motherfuckers for the better part of the last century to both change government regulation and public image in their favor in order to sell more garbage that they knew/know was not good for people or the environment. Here are some of the more egregious examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtcXXbuR244 Convincing natives in Kenya DDT is safe to eat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2EtxYxEKww Spraying DDT directly onto children to prove it's safe.
Now they do the same shit today with the latest non-banned substances.

Found him chilling out underneath the mail box, looked up what spider he was and learned that they were harmless, so I left him alone. When my 70+ year old mom came home she spazzed out and ripped him down like an animal. Still really bothers me to think back on. Humans can live in squalor and poverty for decades and never even care, but harmless stuff like this pushes them over? I really don't get it. Also had a little dogwood outside our house that she mangled for no reason. Was one of the few nice things in this rust bucket ghetto.

I think some of this stuff is generational, but most of it is age, which is easy to conflate with generational issues. Botched maintenance, suddenly deciding to clearcut land, ESPECIALLY the 'it might fall down' meme. Have you ever seen an elderly relative suddenly become afraid of flying?
