Eco-fascism is America’s future. We literally have no idea how else to approach the problem.
People keep saying it but honestly I think it’s nonsense. We won’t have eco-fascism, we’ll just have regular fascism. We won’t face the problem with fascism, we just won’t face the problem at all.
When are the fascists going to start pretending to care about the environment?
When environmental degradation starts impacting them personally.
We’ve seen this by degrees in the American Southwest. People are aware of their water shortages, so the solution tends to be hording and blaming outsiders for the droughts.
We’re seeing it with anti-natalism and eugenics theories reasserting themselves. We’re seeing it on the Texas border, with vast fortunes invested in militarization of the Rio Grande.
Fascism is the reactionary conciliation between the socio-economoc demand for a unified state and the capitalist demand for endless growth. In practice, this means a policy of hording, seizing land through military control, and purging the population to satiate the Imperial core.
The driving force behind these patterns of behavior will be climate crisis. That’s the Eco part.
