    Is there something I’m missing that makes these fascist rather than just eco-psychotic? I mean don’t get me wrong they ain’t happyfuntimes, but fascist does mean something specific and we need it to describe actual fascists right now

      It’s a dog-whistle: recognizable but deniable.

      If you scratch the surface, you’ll find that the people screaming about population as an issue are selling the lie that there is a population problem at all.

      Why? The standard package: racism, control and greed.

        I’m disgusted with neo-Malthusianism and all of its forms. The more we read about the Indian and Chinese population controls, the more we become horrified about how those were conducted and who were pushing such programs.

        And it doesn’t take them long to tell you exactly which populations they think are the problem, either
