Ok here was the biggest red flag. I'm a scientist and I study global change ( think deforestation, soil loss, crop loss etc). My strongest connection to socialism is in ecological terms, because I think that the infinite growth paradigm is at odds with the basic tenets of ecology and that capitalism will continue to drive us to ecocide. When I brought up issues of global forest loss and how capitalism has literally no solution for mass deforestation, she clung tooth and nail to the idea that capitalism would provide market based, technological solutions to our ecological problems, even though we literally have a handful of years left to the complete extirpation of tropical forests. Its fucking abhorrent honestly and it's an affront to my core spiritual beliefs.

I embarrassingly went through that phase for like a month since i had been following green tech. still keep an eye on it since i have a similar background to yours it sounds like but i've quickly learned it won't be enough.
also, to be fair my phase came directly afterr my complete lose in faith of usa government/democrats. I just immediately learned after that phase that it was capitalism through and through causing the government to be that way that led me to radicalization.

Just bring back the Rainforest Cafe from the 1990's and sell overpriced chicken nuggets to kids and manchildren while donating ~5% to the rainforest.
Problem solved!
