I feel this is a representation of 2 sides of one coin or rather that thees two have similar objective but go about trying to reach it in their own very different ways, one is violent and the other is peaceful all tough they might not necessarily agree with one or the other’s way of reaching the end goal, they agree on the goal with is saving earth and the environment.

I don't see environmentalism as a political issue/political but if you want to see politics in anything hey, if there is will there is a way

It is absolutely a political issue. To quote Chico Mendes, one of the greatest conservationists, who was murdered for it, environmentalism without class struggle is gardening.

You may not like that politics is involved with conservation, that's fair. But it is, and the people doing the destroying are the ones who control politicians.

Every societal issue is a political issue comrade.
