Two mass killings a world apart share a common theme: ‘ecofascism’

Post by Pwns »

If we're going to blame white nationalism for mass shootings in Hispanic communities, why can't you also blame the anti-humanist elements of the environmental movement? Would anyone really question misanthropy is a more important quality to make a mass shooter than racism anyways?

I think these people will find some reason to be angry a the world no matter what, but there's an inconsistency that can't really be defended here.

So apparently only white supremacists can be eco-fascists? WAFJ.

Michelle Chan, vice president of programs for Friends of the Earth, said, “The key thing to understand here is that ecofascism is more an expression of white supremacy than it is an expression of environmentalism.”
The alleged gunmen in El Paso and Christchurch did not emerge from the green movement. The documents attributed to them are primarily focused on race, cultural identity, immigration and the fear of a “great replacement” of whites by people of other races.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
