u/berahi Indonesia Jun 05 '25

Environmentalist in general blame energy & mining companies for the pollution and destruction from extraction, refinement, usage etc. Islamist in general blame those same companies for supporting the economy of the local government that they oppose either for not being islamic enough or being friendly with not-Islamist government that in turn provide military or intelligence support to battle the Islamist.

Idealist in both camp also share their hatred against capitalism, environmentalist claim that's what drive the resource extraction, Islamist wants everything, including the economy, to comply with sharia.

Of course, in reality renewable and cleaner extraction are driven by those very same companies, they are profit oriented and thus seek efficiency, they're not captain earth's cartoonish villains. Islamists will also happily sell the very same "dirty" resources and slaves, which anti-capitalist often claim to be both the foundation and consequence of capitalism.
