Yes, surprised at these comments considering how much this stuff is some of the current hot topics in research.

Biodiversity is one of my areas, chat.

Your post really called out all the "smart" people who have decided on a form of fascism to appeal to their idea of how to fix the world.

They won't change their mind cause they want less people and they want to think it fixes stuff without having to read a study about it. They liked it during covid when there were less people to interact with I think and had comfort in wealth to not have to suffer the consequences and now just aim for it.

Good post. Love the resources.

Some people have just "never seen" fascism. Shrug.

The problem is Discrediting by Association. Any meaningful, impactful movement that challenges the growth paradigm and threatens profiteers is disingenuously categorized as ecofascist.

Reddit/r/collapse wouldn't talk about population at all for years because of the knee-jerk reaction to lump it in with eugenics and genocide. They grew up and now it is carefully moderated and discussed well. It seems Lemmy ain't there yet.

If you are an ecology dude like me you remember I=PAT. How can we discuss solutions when we self censor ethical and moral discussions around the P pillar?
