  okay. so. ecofascism ignores, or is ignorant of, the role that indigenous people played maintaining ecosystems and the overall climate of this world. they frame the tragedy of the commons as that a commonly shared resource will be overutilized by the community leading to the degredation and loss of that resource. given this, they believe that a top level force is required to protect that resource.

  the flaw with this framing is that anthropologically, there is no evidence that the tragedy of the commons works this way. we have much more evidence of an ownership class overexploiting a resource than we do collaborative communities. the people, left to their own devices, will largely find solutions that will best fit all their needs, where as an ecofascist route will generally only allow the person commanding the economy to assess needs and they will do so with their set of biases and blindspots, leading to things like the famines of the 5 year plans and the great leap forward

  ecofascism is an authoritarian approach to addressing global climate change. they believe that poor people are a strain upon the land and that left to their own devices humanity would destroy the planet out of spite.

  often, they ignore the top heavy causes of climate change. i can elaborate now but i need to go to the store

  everything in nature has analagous structures. if you don’t see them you’re either looking too close or too far and you need to shift your perspective. a coral reef is a forest and the corals are the trees.

  Short answer: no

  Long answer: Kind of, but not in any kind of a way to where a desire to unite is a position with mass popular support. A unified India as a political entity has been historically a rare thing, and mostly exists currently as a unified entity as a direct result of the British Raj. There are several territories and Tribes that seek independence from the Indian Republic. Two of those territories were Pakistan and Bangladesh (FKA Pakistan). There likely are residents of Pakistan who wish for re-unification with India, however per my understanding the prevalent notion is that Pakistan’s time within the unified India were not preferred. Ultimately this is a function of that borders can never be drawn with respect for the people who live on the land. There is no line you can draw between any two national cores where everyone who wants to be on one side of the line is on the side they want to be on. To use Poland as an example, in 1931, Lwow had a population of 312,000 people, making it the 4th largest city in Poland. Of those 312,000 people, ~20% self identified as Ukrainian. How do you draw a boundary line between Ukraine and Poland where all Ukrainians are in Ukraine and all Poles are in Poland when a city on their border is so blended?

  Countering your example: It’s less like Pakistanis are like the Germans in Austria who can’t unite with Germany and more like Pakistanis are like the Austrians in Austria who found themselves in Germany after Germany declared them German.

  Anarchists are a genre of libertarians though. It’s just that who dominates the landscape of “libertarian” is ancaps, who are just fascists with a weirder set of steps to implement a fascist nightmare.

  I think us leftists in America need to put together a wrestling promotion further left than AEW. WWE is MAGA, AEW is DNC. We need a wrestling promotion equivalent of punk rock/actual leftists out in the streets doing things to communicate with the world what AEW and WWE miss about what goes on around here. I think it should be Luchadora inspired since the queer/femme scene in northern Mexico is really popping off right now

  Man what a huge disappointment given I find nothing of value in streamer drama. I’m sure it’s entertaining if you’re into that sort of thing but if I wanted unlikeable people yelling at eachother while crowds of people who already knew who they wanted to win and didn’t really care what the actual outcome was watched, I’d go to a backyard pro wrestling promotion lol

  To emphasize: not trying to yuck anyone’s yum, but I have so many people in life come to me like I for sure definitely have a favorite streamer when how I try to engage with streamers and their opinions on things is I don’t lol

  The cuyahoga was only just declared safe to swim in last year. the bill that led to its eventual cleaning was passed in 1972. it was probably at its absolute nastiest in September of 1972.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some cheeses are luminescent.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  also the 1970s weren’t some magical time for living a naturalist/naturist life. in the northern empires, lead based paint and lead based fuels were in common use. in the global south, genocidal dictators carried out brutal violence to impress whichever northern empire they were affiliated with.

  the fact that she wants to revisit the 1970s speaks to a great degree of access to privilege within capitalism, white supremacy, and even the patriarchy despite her presented gender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i had someone tell me as an Appalachian, i didn’t understand the power of a union the way she did as a Michigander and i just stared at her, dumbfounded. America’s first unions were in the south. the most powerful union America ever had was based in West Virginia. we absolutely know the power of a union, and wrote many of the tunes that have been solidified as Union Songs. the reason our unions don’t have the power they once did is largely that we couldn’t get solidarity from the Industrial unions for our Primary Unions. our collective direct action was thwarted by class traitors claiming to act on class solidarity.

  but the thing is, the southern libertarian trope? that’s not a fuckin’ act. southerners legit hate authoritarians. we hate them because we’ve suffered under them. we don’t need city folk telling us to hate authority. we need help educating our neighbors that a libertarian capitalist is just a fascist faking.

  and i’m seeing something i’ve never seen before right now. there were zero pro-trump counter protestors at No Kings. zero nazis. people are unified in their understanding of who the problem is right now that i’ve never seen before. and i live in a right to work state. but still the union is gaining power. people would rather potentially get fired than have their boss be a local microgod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would an anarchist society work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the biggest core thing it requires is class solidarity. you have to understand that you, as a human, are ultimately no different from any other human, and so when you see someone in need of help, if you don’t help them, that means other people will make the same decision you did. so you have to help.

  once you have that, you have to start organizing the people who help in some way. this is the root of mutual aid. the idea in a mutual aid society is that no one deserves to be poor and that anyone who asks for help is welcome to the help that is provided. when you have this people will naturally contribute in what they can and take from it what they need.

  the next thing to understand, coming from a position of class solidarity, is that poverty is enforced. when you start organizing a mutual aid society, society’s enforcers of poverty, the military and the police, will come crashing down on you. so at least some people in your community will need to practice, plan, and organize community self defense

  hey just so you know “white trash” reinforces a racial hierarchy, and is thereby a racist term. as a term, it is built on the presumption that white people are supposed to be higher than the lowest rung of society.

  whatever you may think of ICP’s fans, this critique of them is classist and unhelpful
