This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

If you think solar farms are good for the biosphere you should come drink some water from near the manufacturing plant or go view the pit mines and their tailings from mining the minerals to make the solar panels. sure its possible they can be less net harm than say coal fired power plants but conflating chinas giant solar farm as a good for them environment has no basis in reality

feel free to elaborate on why i should be demodded

Eco-socialism is literally the only way to sustain life on this planet in a reasonable timescale

interestingly the most sustainable homo sapiens on earth were african tribal people for 300k years none of whom had anything to do with "eco-socialism" or 'marxism'.

Your only other alternative is eco-fascism which is just a nihilistic death cult view of humanity

false dichotomy fallacy , also shows an incredible lack of imagination.

also please elaborate on "what i stand for"

i'm interested to know what you people think. what is the thought process that if someone doesn't agree with you they must somehow be some fascist. its one of the most socially authoritarian mindsets ive ever seen and im curious how it works on the inside
