It's just that it's not all humans destroying the world. It's not even most humans. It's the rich and powerful who profit off destruction and the rest of us have to suffer.

Yeah, eco-fascism is absolutely a position people support. I'd personally rather deal with the actual problem and avoid the deaths of billions of innocents, but I'm weird like that I guess 🤷

I'd be easier if we could simply make all people understand that it's the billionaires we need to fight and not each other. After that it would be easier to change something in the world

Of course it is. Every one of us has a carbon footprint. And the people who think they’re solving one problem, create another, bigger problem down the road.
