Useful Ecology

I'm not normally a big fan of plots involving #ecofascists because they tend to get them wrong but I was impressed by the subtext of a group of white/imperial core ecofascists throwing a town in Mexico under the bus in #Godzilla2019 in order to awaken #Rodan in their quest to restore the "natural order".

All too often, irl these people are "We gotta save the world and some people will be sacrificed but ofc those people won't be me or my loves and will disproportionately be the poor and brown"

#DeterioratingCarbonSinks: Environmentalists sweated the Bolsanaro government and the burning of the Amazon forests, but never questioned the Justice Department for conjoining the two: For over half a century, intervening against democratically elected governments has been only half the story,” we wrote; “the second half involves justifying, minimizing or denying US involvement.”

Why do the #ecofascists have to win?

There are right wing politicians talking about "hordes of immigrants" and "securing national borders" in practically every country in Europe and North America. Its just a spit away from the #nazi "blood and soil" arguments.

It is obvious that there are going to be lots of people, millions if not more, fleeing the effect of the #ClimatecCrisis

In fact its already started. There is #war over water and soil taking place right now. The Israeli / Palestine war is just one. Part of the motivation for the not over Syrian Civil War is access to water. The Taliban have launched raids into norther Iran to secure water supplies. One reason for the war in Ukraine is access to some of the most fertile soils in Europe.

People fleeing #NaturalDisasters and #wars caused by diminishing natural resources are desperate. They have literally given up everything they ever had to flee their homes.

How we treat these people will define the age that we live in. We can turn them away or worse or we can put them to work on projects that help alleviate the Climate Crisis. These will require large amounts of labour anyway so its a win, win solution.

The world is watching, we need to act before the #facists take over.

While certain asshats are calling environmentalists #ecofascists, the real fascists are organizing. Will the left splinter as agents provacatuer point fingers and cause dissent or will we unite to fight the right?

White Nationalists, Other Republicans Brace for ‘Total War’

A collection of radical right figures including white nationalists and ultranationalist European leaders gathered in Manhattan for the New York Young Republican Club’s (NYYRC) annual gala Saturday night, where that group’s president declared “total war” on perceived enemies.

How Climate Change Is Becoming a Deadly Part of White Nationalism

This weekend’s mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, has re-opened the festering debates over gun control, immigration, and the president’s penchant for racist hate speech. But the manifesto believed to have been authored by the suspected shooter also reveals another horrific idea edging its way toward the mainstream from the primordial sludge of racist message boards.
