Indeed. Catton's "Overshoot" does a wonderful job of detailing all the past times humans have changed the carrying capacity of their environment. However, if you also watch video interviews of him, you can see his disdain for immigrants as well. He claims to have been repulsed at an early age by the sight of brown folks who he felt didn't belong at Crater Lake or perhaps it was Rainier or Hood, and this anti immigrant stance then flows over into his rationalization for what are now known as quite Trump-like attitudes towards furrin'ers. He also mentions their breeding rate, as compared to fine white folks such as..well...himself.
I didn't find any reference in his video interviews of Overshoot where he recognized that he himself was the illegal immigrant, and if the Natives scalped him in his sleep, it would completely reasonable considering what fine white folks had done to them when they illegally immigrated and stole the land from the natives.
His videos didn't appear to contain anything over the top skinheadish, but his argument is basically the same. His beautiful PacNW, ruined by all those Mexican speaking brown skilled furrin'ers.
