If Infinity War had been a better movie it would have focused more on Thanos being wrong about his ecofascism. But the writers thought he had a point, they were already bought in on the myth and so they essentially spread ecofascist ideas

We humans have become so incredibly efficient at producing food. We could feed everyone in the world if we tried. The issue is capitalism. The reason people are starving. The reason people are homeless, choking in toxic city air, unable to drink clean water. IT’S CAPITALISM.

It’s so fucking sickening to see this overpopulation bullshit come back up again and again. China had the OCP for years and now they have a wildly unbalanced population. Studies overwhelmingly show that education and economic development cause population to plateau naturally

And external factors cause problems. Countries like Japan and Germany have aging populations, due to economic development causing a decrease in family sizes overall combined with protectionist immigration policies. Both are former fascist states with focuses on racial purity.

The idea that countries “should be” one race or ethnicity is pure myth too, btw. And attempts to “preserve culture” by keeping a country ethnically “pure” ALWAYS does harm, to individuals and the nation as a whole. Diversity being strength is not just “wokeness” +

It’s literally mathematically necessary. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Populations grow and change. Trying to freeze human cultures in amber means death.

When “controlling population” starts being discussed I’m always reminded of a policy introduced in Delhi during British colonial rule. The Brits were concerned about venomous cobras, so they offered a reward for people killing cobras. So people started farming cobras.

Similarly, when China introduced their one child policy, they didn’t realise it would massively fuck them over down the line, since if a family could only have one child people wanted a son instead of a daughter. Under the age of 25 Chinese men outnumber women by about 20%

Policies like this, intended to be a simple solution to a big, complex problem, always have unexpected consequences. People will start farming cobras.

Right well, I’m about to mute this whole thread so I can sleep. Just some closing points: Gender equality and comprehensive Sex Ed are the most effective and ethical way to control population. Gender equality and Sex Ed are good.

Anyone talking about their “overpopulation concerns” who doesn’t talk about education and gender equality in their proposed solutions, is arguing in bad faith or ignorance. That, and arguing for gender equality without acknowledging how capitalism perpetuates patriarchy.

I think that’s everything I wanted to clarify. Stay mad, ecofascists! I’m going to bed.

Damn, this is still going
it’s not super related to stopping the spread of ecofascist lies but check out my podcast, where I and other trans friends of mine talk about movies that are actually trans, and why: https://www.buzzsprout.com/705732 Prikaži ovu nit
