How dare you. You don't know me, and you have not interacted with me sufficiently to possibly justify such inflammatory accusations.
> People are not cows. You have no right to manage us, or our birth rate, or change us to suit you.
I'm not. Implying I want to manage people like cows is clear bad-faith nonsense.
The arguments of neomalthusians are not correct, because birth rates plateau in response to lots of external forces (like education, providing people access to family planning if they want it, and general quality of life) - with that said its stupid to pretend that we have the technology to sustain our current population levels with even the current distribution of lifestyles, let alone the opportunities we should be attempting to provide to all. One might call that lack of understanding "deficient".
I believe in the agency of individual people - I am against coercive reproductive policies. I understand the problematic history of movements associated with population anxiety. None of that justifies your absurd accusations.
> You assume you know what makes my life good
I'm not the one making assumptions here. What would you say of native peoples whose land is being made unlivable by the climate crisis and loss of biodiversity? Would they be "eco-fascists" for wanting the industrial world to get its shit together?
> The best advice I can give you is to travel and spend time with other people who are different from yourself. What you value, others may not. What they value, you may not.
Again, how dare you. Your condescending inflexibility is truly unreal.
To summarize - you think any discussion of human population equates to eco-fascism, regardless of context, motivation, or the ethical and scientific basis on which it is being discussed.
Is all of macroeconomics fascist because it talks about the behavior of people in groups rather than recognizing all of our unique individuality?
Is anatomy fascist because it studies our literal, physical, animal bodies?
Is all regulation fascist because it constrains our individual freedom in favor of collective good? Even workplace safety regulations? Even pure food and drink regulations? Even regulations against environmental damage that affects future generations?
If there's no room to talk about collective things at all, then your ideological bubble is small enough to suffocate you (or in this case, everyone).
