        Eco-fascist outcomes come from Eco-fascist methods. How do you propose to accomplish this degrowth without subjecting the world’s population to genocide and privation?

        Human nature is to strive, to fight for a better life for themselves and their communities. The preservation of agrarian lifestyles and “harmony with the planet” a bunch of backwards romantics push is not more important than the betterment of the species, no matter how much people cry about it.

        If people need to live in dense cities, then they will live in dense cities.

          genocide and privation

          It’s opposite of degrowth. It is capitalism with its wide beastly grin.

          The preservation of agrarian lifestyles and “harmony with the planet”

          I like how you mix it togerher under pro-nuclear thread about combating climate change. Also it says you didn’t research what degrowth is and possibly doesn’t have even common sense.

          is not more important than the betterment of the species, no matter how much people cry about it

          And it is you who calls someone fascist?

              No, when you improve people’s living condition is called improving people’s living condition. Americans call it socialism.

            8 billion people is absolutely sustainable, we could support significantly more at a modern standard of living with just the resources we use today. The problem is the way we organise how and where we live, and a parasitic owner class using and abusing vastly more resources than they could ever need.

            • Education
            • Opportunity
            • Help those who don’t want to give birth not to give birth
            • Reduce the influence of religion that promotes childbirth and irresponsible family planning
            • Reduce the influence of pressure to grow in every way that is likely exacerbated by capitalism

            And if after all that people still want to have children?

            Nature will bring our numbers to sustainable levels if we don’t do it. Nature will not be so kind.

            Let it try, we’ll see who wins.

            who do you educate? those people will be genocided.

            who do you give birth control to? those people will be genocided.

            there is no policy you can create and implement that will not disproportionately effect one group over another.

            it’s all genocide.

        The estimates I’ve seen project the world population will hit a peak before long, and gradually decline. It’s because of birth rates declining as development/education/wealth rise in a region.

        Plus looking that far ahead, humans will probably have technologies that we today don’t even know are possible. If we had all the energy and high tech new materials we needed, many more options become possible.
