Well have you tried to Google the meaning of the word? Let me be clear. You don't have the right to impose your ways to individuals because we are all trying our hardest to contribute in our own little ways. Eco-fascism will not do us any good. It will only divide us.
Health and safety is MY BASIC HUMAN RIGHT and you cannot gaslight me by pawning my advocacy against it. You cannot invalidate the fear that I feel for this pandemic because you do not have the right to do that. After all, we all cope differently in these trying times and all feelings of people are valid. The very act of you trying to invalidate our feelings by pawning our advocacy against us is FASCISM. You are a fascist.
If you are angry of people throwing their trash just anywhere, I am angry at them, too. If you see one person doing that at the beach or wherever, go straighten them up! I'd support you. But I am not one of them. I throw, recycle, and upcycle my trash properly. You are coming at the wrong person. And for the record, solid wastes (like plastic) are the least of our problem. The problem on liquid wastes and the climate crisis are more alarming than what you are very much concerned of, which is plastic. And you know what, halt on the operations of factories all around the world during the pandemic has actually allowed us more space in our Carbon Budget. Of course, we still have to care about our solid wastes but my point is, you better get your priorities straight and apply critical thinking wisely.
I suggest you redirect your anger to government leaders who deny us of green policies that could've helped us avoid disastrous human activities to nature. Redirect your anger to business leaders who prioritizes profit over sustainabilityー their business operations contribute to majority of our wastes and carbon footprint. Redirect your anger to them because they are the ones who are largely at fault on this. We, individuals, are just trying our best to get by every day so you cannot expect and demand perfection on usー doing so is eco-fascism. Again, you are coming at the wrong person.
