Eco-Fascists
Edited on Sat Oct-23-10 02:05 AM by peopleb4money
These are basically people who believe that the earth is in danger and that the subhuman filth of the earth, as they believe, needs to be purged to save the planet. They're environmentalists for totally different reasons than most people. They're extremely far right and are in it for an anti-human agenda. I on the other hand, believe it isn't the earth that's in peril. It can get along fine without us. I'm an environmentalist for completely humanistic reasons. i want less death, war, and genocide over resources, where they don't. I'm really afraid that people on the right will lump this nut fringe in with every other environmentalist.

There was some guy who made a bomb threat at the Discovery Channel headquarters against their programming, and conservatives are already lumping him in with the left. In his demands, though, he mentioned getting rid of anchor baby filth and immigrants and how we should stop helping the poor and impoverished of the world so that they come to understand the true meaning of Darwinism and Malthusianism. That's an extremely far-right stance. In fact, Charles Dickens criticized Malthus in A Christmas Carol when Scrooge said in his famous line "If they're going to die, they better do it, in order to decrease the surplus population", an author famous for being class conscious and on the left.

To lump Eco-Fascism, an unusual mix of etnocentrism and environmentalism, with all the multi-culturalist liberals that are environmentalists is a contradiction, but I'm sure talk radio's going to do it or has done it already. Maybe the leftist environmentalists should differentiate their selves by coining a term like eco-pluralism or eco-humanism or something to remind opponents that there's a very stark difference between that fringe's misanthropic vision of environmentalism and the wide majority of environmentalists who are sane, caring individuals who wish for only the best in all of humanity.
