>I always find the anti-environmentalist position that pops up on HN interesting. For a technical audience, they are amazingly unaware of "Systems Thinking".

Technical audiences usually go with the "technology, right or wrong" angle (as nationalists go with "my country, right or wrong").

It's more about identity validation and peer group thinking than critical and systems thinking. Plus they're into technology because they disproportionally like, glorify, and are attracted by tech in the first place.

So if technology was used to eliminate murder hornets, maybe hn would be more in favour of the practice?

Oh, absolutely. The more genetic engineering and radiation the better. With a bit of machine learning you've got a pitch deck for murder hornet removal as a service.
