minus-squareGamma@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoYou’re right, it’s very NIMBY sounding
minus-squareconciselyverbose@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThat’s not what the term means. NIMBY refers to people trying to prevent other people from using their own property in ways they don’t like, not people who don’t want shitty companies actively throwing trash in the commons.

Maybe one more? opposition to the locating of something considered undesirable (such as a prison or incinerator) in one’s neighborhood
