A bit of a strange word.
Eco: we associate it with the environment
Fascism: an authoritarian political movement
Well, ecofascism is used as a word that describes a policy for the environment issue and they also create another combination (xenophobia, racism, radical environmentalism and among others)
The word doesn't sound so pretty anymore, right?
These people have in mind that overpopulation is the main cause of our climate change, its most extreme facet is to propose authoritarian regulation of the population.
I highly respect the issue of people who do not want to have children or start a family, but I believe that those who do should also be respected.
You've surely heard phrases like.
"This pandemic will help with the overpopulation"
"Stop having children"
"We humans are the virus"
Although the latter I like to put it but directed to governments, because they are seriously the virus of the world.
But let's get on with our business ... they say that overpopulation is what hurts the world and this makes them not see the companies and countries that truly have that well-earned responsibility.
An Ecofascist tends to defend the idea of letting a part of the population die, which for them does not help much, such as people in poverty or immigrants, they call the coronavirus as
"the vaccine of the earth"
And this is due to the fact that with the passage of this pandemic, there have been deaths with quite high amounts, although for my concept, they are figures that are managed couples to perhaps other types of diseases, the ecofascists attribute this pandemic as something of divine justice and this It is because as human beings we consume the vast majority of animals, so that makes us the terror of the earth.
They justify the death of a percentage of the population, which, however minimal it may seem, causes an impressive amount in round numbers of some country.
Like for example Colombia, if 2% or 3% of its population died. It would be approximately 1 million people, so an ecofascist prefers to lose this million lives, in theory to make some change in the economy or environment ...
I do not consider us to be a virus and I feel sorry for those who think differently, I believe that there is the right of free expression, I am convinced that human beings must make a change if we want to fix the damage to the environment a little, we are even responsible to look for that exit that our land needs to be able to resist a little more, in such small acts we can begin to make that change
start making that change.
Acts like not wasting water.
Don't waste energy
The issue of garbage, which is something that is so important and we do not take that culture, we still have a lot to learn.
Cutting down trees, I think there must be some way to avoid this act.
The plastic, which in theory is not as it is painted, very high figures of plastic in the sea, but if we go to another reality, in the sea there is much more waste from commercial fishing nets than the same plastic.
In a documentary on Netflix called "unsustainable fishing" you can see the great damage that commercial fishing causes without any supervision, since the inspectors who should be on these boats are either killed or simply disappear under the excuse that the sea is swallowed them.
This documentary shows how the supposed foundations that are fighting for pollution in the sea with the issue of plastic, evade 100% the issue of fishing nets…. Of course, it is a round business, it is not feasible to speak of the great damage that this type of fishing causes, as the reefs rake and their nets are scattered throughout the ocean, killing many species.
In short, the marginal population or the issue of overpopulation is not exclusively the main cause of climate change, this must also be attributed mostly to that minimum group of wealthy people, who without any impudence encourage this type of groups to alter the emotions and ideologies and thus they conceal in their maximum power the round deals that cause much damage to the whole world.
This group, which represents 1%, emits twice as much CO2 as the world's poor population.
Since 1988, only 100 companies have been called responsible for more than 70% of CO2 emissions
China has one of the highest percentage of CO2 emissions and here we enter with consumerism, it is where we participate even more in the damages of climate change.
Ok so far we are fine, we must agree that we can make a change, but what will happen to that minimal population that only thinks about its benefits?
Now, returning to the theme of ecofascism, what is it that I do not applaud about them?
The fact of promoting movements such as xenophobia.
Racism
Abortion
Death from overpopulation
It is inhumane to think that losing lives in absurd numbers is useful for our planet to live longer.
Because they do not set their sights first on that small but absurdly powerful population, which has the ability to create systems that can help the environment to recover, to allow our planet to breathe a little more.
But it is difficult to believe that this will happen, if in the end they are the ones who promote this type of movement.
We can do something together to change even a little the damage our planet has, but it is also necessary to wake up and look for those who truly cause the greatest damage to society and our environment.
