Different from an environmentalist. An environmentalist is somebody who is rational, practical, and scientific.
Treehuggers think purely with emotion and not with actual critical thinking skills.
Typically without any
job or hobby, spends their
time protesting without thinking of any actual goals or solutions, and does things that feel good but are actually detrimental.
Example, blocking roads and pestering ordinary people, causing idling vehicles traffic and thus thereby causing even more CO2 buildup and moving people away from the movement.
Example 2: Torching SUVs because they are secretly jealous, which in turn creates toxins and co2 and
smoke to release into the air, thereby causing more global warming, committing a
major crime against ordinary people, and again moving away the average Joe from the cause that the treehugger wants people to join.
Often seen handing out flyers advertising their protest which wastes
paper and ends up on the ground as litter.
Is too
pathetic to actually
work for practical solutions to combat climate change and instead resorts to slacktivism and eco
terrorism because they lack the internal strength and motivation to solve problems.
Friend 1: Dude why is there so much traffic and smog today?
Friend 2: those tree hugging idiots blocked the road and caused the cars to idle, idk some
stupid protest or something.
Friend 1: Why can't they get a job?
Friend 2: Probably because they blew thousands of dollars of their
parents money on an un employable college major and now resort to activism as a way to cope with the fact that they are ashamed of their lack of real accomplishments in life.
Friend 1: Agreed. Fuck treehuggers.
