Detectorists Label Conservation a 'Fascist' ideology


Detectorists getting confused
Detectorist John Howland apparently hates the notion of conservation which is apparently beyond his understanding ('Japanese Whalers on the march… Ecological Fascism – Stamp it out NOW! ' Detecting and Collecting.wordpress.com Posted on December 23, 2018). He starts off by referring to the PACHI blog:

It’s not often you’ll see a vote of thanks on here from me to an undistinguished anti-metal detecting heritologist, but, over on a certain pisspoor blog, its perpetrator details a petition Japanese whalers are formulating – much to the outrage of the usual suspects – is now gaining glorious momentum by the hour. To find out why some heritage halfwits are frothing at the gob, pop over to:-

and add your name in support of our Japanese colleagues trying to bring about an end to restrictions on their decimation of the marine mammal population and in improving conditions for their industry in a world where it is illegal for ship owners to go out and bloodily slaughter whales and calves metal in their marine backyard, with risk of a prison sentence if they do. This is an astonishing breech (sic) of freedom and Human Rights. If this kind of repression was aimed at the gay community, ethnic minorities, or say the disabled, there would rightly be uproar. It must stop…NOW!
Having just used the 'playing the victim' card to bolster the position of the exploiters, he continues with a group ad hom aimed at conservationists opposed to reckless and damaging exploitation:
This tyranny is ‘ecological narcissism’ incarnate and survives in conservation’s darker niches [...] 'Ecological Narcissism’  enjoys a hand-in-blouse relationship with ‘Ecological Elitism’– a form of Ecological Fascism. [...] A victory for our Japanese friends will not only advance civil freedoms but will also help further expose the cerebral dweorgs’ banal ersatz data that is… Ecological Fascism.
Remember, Conservation-averse artefact hunters  often  talk like idiots and cannot stop themselves from behaving like idiots.
