“Pattie Gonia” doesn’t give a rip about conservation or anything other than his own massive ego. He doesn’t care that posing in a mini skirt and stripper heels in a creepily oversexualized NPS uniform next to the Interior Secretary torched the largely bipartisan goodwill that the National Park Service and its rangers enjoyed up until 5 minutes ago. Rangers are a symbolic position on the front lines of public land and outdoor education. They’re the ambassadors to the most important part our public land portfolio welcoming Americans from all walks of life to our parks. Little kids love getting the junior ranger badges from park rangers, and when they’re older cite these interactions as reasons to go into a career in the outdoors themselves. Subverting that or “queering” what are otherwise unifying symbols for the American outdoors makes a visit to our parks about his activist nonsense performance rather than nature/wildlife. He doesn’t speak for the parks, he definitely doesn’t speak for the majority of its employees who really resent the political firestorm when he stages stunts like draping a giant trans flag on the face of El Cap. And I’m sure he wouldn’t take any responsibility for the fact that when I see anyone on his site celebrating public land agency employee firing, it’s his picture they share to show that the agencies lost their way, went batshit crazy, and ignore their statutory purpose in favor of goofy activism. And for what? Raising a couple grand here and there for nutty ideologue NGOs in his never ending quest to demand you give him attention. Get crazy people out of conservation so we can get back to focusing on bighorn sheep and elk.

Victor Marx claims to have been forced to kill a man at age 7. And he talks about the necessity of killing people in the course of his "high-risk missionary" work. So I asked him how many people he's killed on his missions. "Does it matter?" Marx said.
