‘Conservation’ in this context really means ‘only to be used or gazed upon by the owners, all others will be prosecuted’. There might be a little of a wildlife habitat argument, but that’s about it.

American environmentalism’s racist roots have shaped global thinking about conservation

US ideas about conservation center on walling off land from use. That approach often means expelling Indigenous and other poor people who may be its most effective caretakers.

For early conservationists, it was an unsettlingly short step from managing forests to managing the human gene pool.

I don't get it.
The bank "owns" the home and calls the Sheriff in and boom, escorted out at gunpoint.
Private citizen does the same thing they very well could end up in jail?

Yup your system is broken.

Without getting into the morals of home ownership / renting / landlords...

My point being the imbalance of power.
State backed author has no problem removing squatters.
Private citizen - please fill out this paperwork, we will be back to you in 12 - 16 weeks.
If they can prove ownership, then the playing field should be the same.
Trespassing is trespassing - no?

i believe the banks have to follow largely the same process, however they have the resources and staffing on hand to do it.

edit: most banks aren't state backed either.

That was a bad analogy on my part as the the occupants of the home at one time had legal right to be there. When you have no legal right to be there, is it not trespassing?
I don't understand how they would not be removed as such.

And even then, cops operate on "whenever they feel like it"

Neither system is good. Portland has some specific firearm laws too that would negate militia evictions.

Most eviction laws exist for good reason though. They're not perfect but they also came out of some really bad practices.

But berkshire hathaway? I could not possibly give fewer fucks.
