Where in the fuck do you get ecofascism from!? Do you even know what the word means.
"Ecofascism is a political ideology that blends environmental protection with extreme racism, white supremacy, and violence against marginalized groups. "
How about you do the bare minimum reading and take a look at the wikipedia page for ecofascism instead of presenting me with a dictionary definition of the word, which only highlights your obvious ignorance on this topic, and then get back to me when you’re done.
Resorting to calling people ecofascists feels pretty reductive. As the world currently exists, and under current economic systems, population growth is a pretty huge issue, especially while basically zero effort is being put into reducing carbon emissions globally.
There was an article somewhere in these threatlds that gave a decent summary:
The Earth cannot sustain the future human population, or even today’s, without a major overhaul of socio-cultural practices for using land, water, energy, biodiversity, and other resources
What a lot of people (myself included) struggle with is that the amount and significance of change needed to make an actual difference is huge right now, and it requires a concerted global effort to get anywhere close to halting what feels like an inexorable rise in earth’s temperatures.
Until we can change this then humans might as well be described as a virus and looking at forced population control (in this case of transport etc. under covid) and seeing a measurable improvement in our environment feels cathartic and, honestly, easier to obtain than the global overturning of capital.
Define ecofascism then, because its easy to just fuck around and shit on an opinion without providing an alternative.
I’m not saying we need eugenics or a cull., and I’m certainly not blaming the global south for existing in a world that was driven by short sighted rich European capitalists.
What I am saying is:
Population is a problem provided the status quo doesn’t change
The status quo just ain’t changing. Not fast enough, anyway.
In light of this the current state of human existence (and the systems which support it) could be reasonably described as a virus. Exponential growth at the cost of a host? Prove me wrong.
Solutions? Fucking sea change and a total shift in the way we occupy the planet. We’re not over crowding we’re over producing (and over consuming).
What’s eco-fascist about that, and if you don’t agree, please let me know.
Yeah, overpopulation is really easy to handle and doesn’t require violence. Give kids a genuine education that they can continue into adulthood, and access to birth control and reproductive healthcare, and bam, population growth is fixed.
The population problem is intentionally caused by the epstein class, so they can have abundant, desperate, cheap labor.
Holy fuck why does Lemmy have so many ecofascists

You are so fucking wrong it isn’t funny. Please tell me your made up definition as you act like an ecotardburger.

Goes on to describe their definitionally ecofascist beliefs in detail
Overpopulation is a myth started by nazis and eugenicists.
Yeah, you definitely don’t know what that word means.
Also, try telling the civilization of Easter Island overpopulation isn’t a problem. Did you know the Middle East used to be a forest?
No ecofascists here, but I am starting to suspect someone is an ecotard.

It’s not like they are welcome in many other places
