>North America has lost nearly 3 billion birds since 1970. Says Scarl, “To reverse these alarming bird population declines, we need as many people as possible to get excited about birds and unite to protect them.”

I'm sure changing their names to tillamookcherokeenavajo will make jews stop paying mexicans to pave over bird habitat

Maybe we need a racially conscious bird society? Everybody knows that Whites are the only peoples who give a flying fuck about environmental conservation (or universal taxonomy, for that matter).

we are going to have so much cleanup work to do. writing new texts. burning impure texts. sending subverters and their minions to African cobalt mines. like a 125 year errata for our entire history and culture.

Buy physical books (including dictionaries). Nothing digital can be trusted. All we need is for everyone to own a handful of accurate reference materials on a variety of topics so be won't have to rebuild the entirety of human knowledge from scratch.

I've got Will Durant's History of the World, which is great so long as you don't need too many details.

>For example, in 2020, the AOS renamed a small prairie songbird found on the Great Plains to “Thick-billed Longspur.” The bird’s original name—honoring John P. McCown, an amateur naturalist who later became a general in the Confederate Army during the U.S. Civil War—was perceived as a painful link to slavery and racism.

Yeah, let's signal to every potential bird enthusiast that even if they discover and describe a brand new species of bird, they'll be erased from history if some faggot decides they don't like your politics 200 years after the fact. That should do it...

The comments are funny, too. The first half dozen are all "This is a great idea that will stop forcing marginalized folx out of birding", and then a couple hundred below those saying "WTF? No."
