I don't think it's actually related to "Cascadia", but the criticism of
ecotopianism as a white liberal paradise is maybe a valid one.

predominantly white editors not thinking to include it or look up sources
about it? Or omitted because the general historical narrative has erased
the presence of racism, meaning it would not be found in most sources that
would be used anyway?
But if we have documentation that it was a racist phenomenon (and I can
see why it would be), we should certainly make sure to include it in the
article. And what better time than when people are interested in it?

That "Cascadia (independence movement)"
Wikipedia article really goes out
of its way to censor any mention of the white supremacist connection to

Seems like anybody today who says "I don't need the Federal Government,
they never did anything for me" is probably white, middle class and
comfortably privileged. Having no Justice Department to force reform on
the
Seattle Police Department wouldn't make any
difference to the white
people
of the city; the problems with the police
department weren't affecting
them
to begin with. I'd have a different attitude
if the people of Seattle had
been clamoring to clean up police abuse and it was the Feds holding them
back. But Seattle was doing nothing and Justice had to sue to drag a
reluctant Seattle to do anything about it. Or take away the Federal
Government and the Washington is going to rush in and shut down the
casinos
and everything else on the reservations. Tribal
sovereignty, such as it
is,
comes from Washington DC, not Olympia.
I guess it's like when I hear a phrase like "America First" I can't
help
but think of Charles Lindbergh's fascist enablers. Cascadia triggers the
same reaction from me. It sounds nice at first, but under the surface it
looks ugly., and it's got some old connotations that are hard to forget.
It's like a nice way of saying "states rights". It makes me think of
people
who want to return Oregon to a whites-only state,
or Seattle to the
whites-only city it was originally founded as.
Just saying.
