That's not what ecofascism is that's just disgruntled old republicans.

I searched it up and all it showed was why eco fascism is bad, the dark side, white supremacy💀 Yeah I blame humans for the wreck they caused but I’m not a bad person. I genuinely don’t care about anything but it still reaches me knowing I’m living on a decaying planet 😐

So you do care about something?

To be fair… I may be 98% Nihilist were it not for the hardcore trauma I had concerning animal abuse. So no I don’t care, yes the world could be destroyed but then why am I holding back from doing it if I really don’t care? Because I think the earth is pretty. Maybe it’s selfish, but to be fair, if there was a way to get rid of a few billions of humans to make the earth better I would do it. I suppose that’s strong misanthropy and existential nihilism.

So you care about the Earth because it's pretty? When you say you don't care about anything I think perhaps you mean you don't care about anything in the moral sense but you do care about some things in a broader sense.

Ok can you help me understand? You say you don't care about anything but you don't want the Earth to be destroyed because it's pretty. How is not wanting something to be destroyed different from caring about it?

I did not defend nihilism to prove myself, I was just emitting my opinion. I don’t think anything matters enough to be fought about. I think one way, you think the other and that’s all. If you really wish to know, and I’d understand since psychology interests me too- the best way I’d explain my thoughts is: I like animals. I hate children. I hate people. I think that the world is comforting. I want more knowledge and I think the world is overpopulated. Every problem the world is experiencing now is because of humans. Natural disasters are pretty, even if people hate them I understand that they’re necessary for balance. Science is fascinating, humans are painfully boring. What I do find interesting about humans (and why I don’t just go and kill everyone because they don’t matter) is their brains. Some humans have the conscience that allows them to see things objectively. That’s existential nihilism. I find it wonderful. Philosophies are an art, they’re the part of the human brain that mixes objectivity and subjectivity via acquired knowledge. Nature, on the other side, is an art- the very first and main art form. While I’m not the type to go hug trees and cry watching deforestation videos, it disgusts me to know that we’re ruining it just so we can expend our population and pretend that the world is just fine. I fought over racism, sexism and overpopulation and that alone shows me that humans aren’t as artful as I often give them credit for. My dislikes comes from people forgetting to use their heads, going about their lives with the simple desire to live and nothing else. It is not that I don’t care, I care but not for their lives. I care for the impact of their lives. I hope it makes sense?

I'm not saying your a bad person, I'm saying that the line of thought in your comment was leading to ecofascist ideology. I don't think you mean anything bad by it but that seemed to be the direction your line of thought was going

Was it meant as an insult? Because from what I’ve read it is an insult

Okay, good😂 I’m sorry, didn’t mean to sound harsh it’s just rare I’m told stuff like that. Ways to think are always made to sound horrible from one perspective or the other. Philosophy is a slippery terrain.
