This invokes the overpopulation myth, the reductive belief that the planet would somehow be “better off” without humans (importantly: how would you make that happen?), and perhaps, projecting the environmental sins of one’s own culture onto all of humanity.
I don’t know if these count as actual eco-fascism when the target is the entire human population, but it’s certainly adjacent.
I get your stance, I do, but you don’t think humans are seriously fucking the planet?
I put a lot of thought into your comment today and I’d honestly love to respectfully debate you on this subject. I think immediately labelling people who are worried about over population as “eco-fascists” is really quite odd and makes me a bit worried.
Yes, the main problem is corporations and greed but doesn’t it all still come down to our species? What would aliens say? Oh sorry, you’re good, it’s those other ones in your species that are the bad ones… ?
I don’t specifically have an anti-overpopulation stance myself for the record, I just find your terminology rather … jaded.
By the tone of your comment you’re clearly quite hostile so I’m not sure I should even be engaging, but I felt that I had to. I’d really be happy to debate though, maybe I would learn something.

I’d make it happen by doing nothing.
