    This invokes the overpopulation myth, the reductive belief that the planet would somehow be “better off” without humans (importantly: how would you make that happen?), and perhaps, projecting the environmental sins of one’s own culture onto all of humanity.

    I don’t know if these count as actual eco-fascism when the target is the entire human population, but it’s certainly adjacent.

      Thank you. The problem is the rich, the problem is capitalism/colonialism, but it’s not too many people. Genocide wont solve any problems, overthrowing the billionaire class will.
