Rejecting any and all comparative analysis in favor of a simplistic “countries bad” stance is just a willing desire to cede decisionmaking to the status quo, recusing yourself of any genuine input or responsibility. The truth is that Churchill, Jefferson, and Washington are all whitewashed by bourgeois historians despite being far worse than Stalin and Mao.
I’ll defend good actions and condemn bad ones. Defeating the Nazis? Very good. Doubling life expectancies? Very good. Tripling literacy rates, providing free, high quality healthcare, affordable housing, rapid economic development? Very good. Re-criminalizing homosexuality? Very bad.
It’s incredibly easy to just say “everything is bad and I support nothing,” but that just cedes all input to others.
So open eco-fascism, got it. You do have agency, you can join an org and try to contribute to building a better world, but instead you just say everyone is evil and all deserve to die. It’s nonsense.
The struggle is neither easy nor impossible, but merely very difficult. We aren’t Sisyphus, the world is changing, and we can make a difference. Eco-fascism is the wrong answer.

This is basically eco-fascism. You get that, right? Not only is it wrong, but it’s a vapid statement that again cedes all agency.
