If you think the earth is dying because poor people are having too many babies, that's about three logical steps away from ecofascism.

    a subsistence farmer having eight kids in Benin is doing far less damage than a middle class suburbanite having a single child in the US, environmentally speaking

    The delta is even more mind boggling than that; did a quick calculation once and based on per-capita emissions, for example, an Ethiopian woman could have 150 kids and still not reach the same emissions induced by one US kid.

      And yet people in this thread say this is fascism somehow? Can someone please explain how its fash to say that the dominant lifestyle of your own country is literally so bad that it is destroying the planet?

      I've heard eco fash arguments and its always "those Asians/Africans wont stop having kids, look how much larger their population is." Those fash never talk about how the suburbs are destroying the earth. They love the suburbs
