A lot of these younger leftists are authoritarian and anti-intellectual, and react with hostility to any disagreement with their beliefs. This was a problem on Reddit and it’s a problem on Lemmy. I don’t know what happened to the left, but when I was young they were the intellectual and rational ones. These days, anything other than “fully automated luxury communism” is ecofascism I suppose. Yes, they do take the view that an accurate assessment of our predicament makes you a terrible person.
Also blaming white people for this is inappropriate as there is basically no part of the world today that’s on a sustainable trajectory in the scenario of energy descent.
That’s an easy one. These people are not left. The movement as a whole has died. There are still individuals who are left, but organizations no longer.
The collapse community is filled with anarchists. What are you suggesting that is considered ecofascism by these authoritarians? And where is this growing anti-intellectualism on the left?
