Resorting to calling people ecofascists feels pretty reductive.

Goes on to describe their definitionally ecofascist beliefs in detail

Overpopulation is a myth started by nazis and eugenicists. People aren't viruses.

    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:

    1. Population is a problem provided the status quo doesn't change
    2. The status quo just ain't changing. Not fast enough, anyway.
    3. 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.
    4. 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, 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.

    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.
