There should be no* debate, but there will be, of course.

You don’t get to reduce inequality with fascists in power.

We’ll see how it goes, questioning is not enough to shut down fascist organizations.
edit: he’s going to be investigated without being in jail (free), so expect lots of drama.

(this is posted on many local news sites, here’s one of them)
“Legionary” is a specific term relating to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Guard
Homeowners who had assumed their properties would become valuable assets and provide security described their homes as “money pits” and “financial burdens”, and said they felt stuck in homes they could barely or no longer afford, with insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance now often costing more than people’s mortgages.
Bubble. And it will get worse with climate change: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-023-01173-x
There’s a term that’s going to get popular: “uninsurable”.
“I bought this house 19 years ago for $220,000,” she said. “If I’m lucky, I can sell it for $300,000.” Local house prices, she said, had not gone up by very much in all this time, in part because local property taxes were prohibitively expensive.
Classic hypocrisy. Complaining about how much houses costs when you want to buy, and then complaining about how little houses costs when you want to sell.
Here, some context:

Fascists want what they always want, action on conservative goals: “more for me, less for everyone else”, with an ambiguous and dynamic “me group” usually. Sometimes it’s just a family clan thing, and it can even be reduced to the “Sovereign Citizen” who’s doing a type of solo fascism (ancaps).
A shrinking environment means, for fascists & friends, fewer resources to use for themselves, thus a reason to take even more resources from others. It’s the prepper ideology at a large scale - survival of the fittest group by hoarding resources and killing the competition.
The techbro types have their own version of this, as mentioned above with the TESCREAL ideologies.
To summarize this in a different way, ecofascists look at the problem of overshoot (includes global warming) as “how to get rid of the competition in order to reduce the overall damage and thus achieve ‘sustainability’”.
If you’re familiar ideas like the Kaya identity then you understand the very basic: IMPACT = population size x average individual impact
. Fascists love the high impact living (high consumption, lots of waste and pollution) and want to fix the impact problem by reducing the population size, not the nice lifestyle. This applies proportionally to the rich, the billionaires. Fascist narratives help to outline which population to reduce and which population to preserve (see: “the great replacement” conspiracy theory). This isn’t super precise, they constantly redefine groups and there’s, of course, a hierarchy or caste system aspect to it, since the rich and privileged depend on the poor and exploited. Techbros hope to achieve fully automated capitalism, so that they no longer depend on the masses. You can guess what happens if that happens.

On a side note, the moderation tools for Lemmy sites look terrible (unsustainable).
Bunkers are a scam. They’re fine for some occasional wildfire or flood, but not for climate chaos and all the damage that will do to society. Having a bunker just means you die later, perhaps after you eat your bunker mates, or they eat you. It’s not like they’ll “repopulate” after, climate change is going to go on long after 2100 and these inbred clowns will just inbreed more until they die off.
Ecofascism, like fascism, is a dead end. They just accelerate the destruction. The climate is global, nobody is going to escape climate chaos while remaining on this planet.
I don’t disagree with you, but the point is to not make more excuses for them. They need excuses because fascists hide monstrous intentions behind great PR. Don’t do their work for them.
It’s unwise to wait, especially if it means collective amnesia and another round of more intense conservative/neoliberal rule.
BRENTER !
The other user answered, so the channel is a bit clickbaity / suspect, but they do string together some footage that you don’t usually encounter.
Or you could read the article.
I put some context links in the body of the post, to read.
Georgescu has a platform of autarky, which he calls “sovereigntism”. He’s also surrounded by fascists (“legion of archangel Michael”), is directly connected to a paramilitary mercenary group, uses dogwhistles regularly. He also believes he’s a new messiah who is chosen by God to “save” the People (he may actually be schizophrenic, but the people around him are encouraging it). He’s also constantly spewing conspiracy stories and wellness pseudoscience on social media, parroting them and mixing them up with famous speeches from movies.

Georgescu is like if Trump and RFK Jr. had a son with Alex Jones as the nanny.
