Environmental concerns: What Is ecofascism?

12 August, 2019 by Ella Palmer

The political and social movement known as eco fascism is growing in popularity worldwide. But what is it, and why should you care?

Simply put, eco fascism is the belief that humans are fundamentally bad for the environment and must be controlled or eliminated to save the planet. This can take many different forms, from requiring strict government regulations on how people can live their lives to outright calls for genocide against the human race.

Proponents of eco fascism argue that the planet is in a state of crisis and that humans are the root cause of this crisis. They claim that if we don’t take drastic steps to limit human activity, the planet will soon be uninhabitable.

Eco fascists believe that humans are completely disconnected from nature and that humans are actually harming themselves by destroying nature. While this may seem like a new idea, it is an old one that has been gaining popularity in recent years. There are a few reasons for this, but the main one is that people are starting to realise just how badly humans have damaged the planet.

Garrett Hardin is a well-known racist, eco-fascist and eugenicist who published an essay in 1968 where he describes humans as selfish herders. He believes that if a shared resource, for example, a forest, was not centrally managed, people would destroy it over time as they pursued their own interests.

Even though eco fascism is becoming more popular, it is still a fringe idea. Most people do not believe that humans are completely disconnected from nature and instead believe that humans can work with nature to create a sustainable future.

Eco fascism is a particularly dangerous movement because it relies on fear and hysteria to gain support. Many people are genuinely concerned about the state of the environment and may be willing to accept drastic measures if they believe it’s the only way to save the planet. This makes it easy for eco-fascists to convince people that their radical ideas are necessary when they are anything but in reality.

It’s important to remember that eco fascism is not about saving the environment – it’s about controlling people. The fundamental goal of the eco-fascist is not to protect the planet but to force everyone to live according to their rigid, utopian vision. So don’t be fooled by their false claims – eco fascism is a danger to our planet and our way of life, and we should do everything to oppose it.

How can we protect the environment?

Every day, we hear about the adverse effects of climate change and how humans are contributing to it. We know we need to do something to protect the environment, but what can we do?

There are many ways to help protect the environment. You can start by conserving energy, recycling, and reducing your waste. You can also plant trees and use public transportation.

You can also advocate for environmental protection policies. Speak to your local representatives about climate change and the need for renewable energy. Vote for candidates who support environmental protection measures.

We all need to do our part to protect the environment. By working together, we can make a difference.
