What annoys me is throwing the word around like it's nothing, dude calls pretty much anyone a nazi lol
For example, I was called a nazi for saying maybe Canada is taking too many immigrants at once
Depends entirely on the context. Framed like that? Probably not a Nazi, but I wouldn't dare make judgement without knowing what actually transpired.
Might be a hot take, but the idea that the word "Nazi" is thrown around like it's nothing is actually overblown, and usually it's correctly thrown.
Maybe my friends are dumb but the far left ones love using the word whenever possible
Usually the far left calls everyone a liberal, it's liberals that call conservatives Nazis. The far left usually calls actual fascists Nazis.
Yeah I'm economically far left but socially I lean a little further right, which has gotten me called a nazi before, which is ridiculous if you actually know me haha
To be fair, understanding the damage of hierarchy economically while simultaneously rejecting intersectionality and upholding it socially is an extremely fringe view to have. Socialists with conservative social views are very rare in developed countries and online.
Tldr I'm a pantheist who believes there are simply too many people on planet earth and I'm also very intolerant towards most religions, I guess that would make you want to call me an ecofascist which I don't really identify with either, but it's a lot less infuriating than being called a nazi
Isn't it funny how when you add context, "maybe Canada is taking in too many immigrants at once" turns into "yea, I'm probably better described as an ecofascist even if I don't like the way that sounds, and I am intolerant and believe in overpopulation?"
All I'm saying is that my suspicion was a lot closer to being correct. Ecofascism is far closer to Nazism than mere "immigration too quick" ploys, and it makes sense to call you a fascist in that context.
Maybe reconsider your positions if they even put you in the vicinity of fascism? Just a hint.
So you think the earth can sustain an infinite amount of people? Lol
Since when did disagreeing with the idea that the Earth is currently at or reaching overpopulation levels equivalent to thinking that those levels don't exist?
You could move far, far away from Nazism and Ecofascism, and join EcoMarxists. No intolerance, no lack of intersectionality, and a true leftist movement, rather than a far-right fascist movement.
Religion is either just a cult or a business and we should be intolerant towards it just as much as Nazism imo. I am tolerant towards most things but if you believe in a man in the sky I am going to think less of you
I think we are already overpopulated, it's easy to see from the biodiversity the planet is losing. If there were a button I could press that would kill myself and millions of other people without discrimination or pain I would press it, but that's an impossible idea
Just don't be a fascist, buddy. Get help.
You admitted above that earth cannot sustain infinite people so we're kind of on the same page here. What is your idea when that limit is reached?
Not genocide, lol.
What's the other option? Convincing people to willingly off themselves? Lol
