I care for the environment, unlike the climate change denier fascists

I support integral ecology

I generally support aspects of the Degrowth movement in particular : 

I am anti consumerist and anti materialist. I support promoting a transition from a materialistic to a convivial and participatory society. People who own and wear expensive looking shoes or huge flat screen TVs or nice cars and who protest or complain about not being able to afford food like ramen noodles for example, shouldn’t protest or advocate for more socialistic economic policies because they can't be poor if they have a pair of expensive looking shoes or similar luxury, consumerist possessions

Materialism is bad because it uses up resources to satisfy ever consuming lifestyles ie energy which produces greater waste at the expense of third world countries. Materialism is also unsustainable and we need degrowth to lessen the ecological footprint of things that materialism and consumerism causes by lowering our standards of living. Consumerism and materialism cause climate change and must be combated 

This means we should stand against productivism and sustainable development. Sustainable development is a oxymoron; any development that is based on finite growth in a finite and environmentally stressed world is not sustainable .We need to be self sufficient and have material responsibility to fix our growth issues, especially in the southern hemisphere. They in particular need to end their consumption and exploitation of northern resources. This would lead to preserving eco systems from humans in a communal way where humans and nature are as one

I echo degrowth’s ideas of a shift to no longer promote lifestyles thay take up high levels of consumption

 Moreover repairing damage from centuries of imperialism and mutual aide/distributism can help the degrowth movement reach its goals.

The world by design or disaster might have to pass through a Great Transformation, i.e ecological economics to incorporate Post development theories like Buen vivir and degrowth if they want to really change something. I support many other degrowth things as well.

Eco

Capitalism is bad because it is killing the planet

I am against the government and social media companies censoring and blocking people who criticize green energy transition.  Such actions by the government and social media companies is FASCIST authoritarian censorship and is against the values that our country was founded on. That is shutting down free speech  by stifling legit criticism of the government and I will not allow the government to do that. I swear to god

My views on the environment match the Five Star Movement’s environmental views

I support environmental well being but I like the state to not get involved in the environment, as long as robust legal protections for bodies and justly acquired possessions are in place (that state action isn’t required to protect non human living beings from abuse). State action sadly often causes environmental ills , injures non human living beings and protects polluters

I am not thrilled that people heavily exploit natural resources like forests and then things like wood when the money they get from that sell only goes to a fee and not all who were part of that exploitation. This is further complicated by the hard truth that we have a less than idesl way of organizing society where the few who cut down trees ,extract copper and minerals from our country benefit which hurts most people and the environment at the same time

Climate

I accept the hard truth of climate change

It's wrong , mean, and defamatory to call anti vaxxers 'pro buggy pandemic' or to want to deny them medical help.  Remember many left wing people are anti vaxxers . 

I endorse Larry Hogan’s vaxx bucks which bribed people to get vaxxed. That was a very smart and non intrusive way to do it and I commend Larry for it

We left wing pro vaxxers should not pride ourselves on our supposed moral superiority to left wing anti vaxxers (or possibly not pride ourselves on our supposed superiority to even right wing anti vaxxers but  very maybe not) because we left wing pro vaxxers might have been anti vaxx like those left wing anti vaxxers (or possibly even anti vaxx like those right wing anti vaxxers but very maybe not) if we had a different life and upbringing. We should debate anti vaxxers as it is a deeply divisive issue, however, the tone of that debate should not cause us left wing pro vaxxers to despise left wing anti vaxxers (and not want to literally bash the snot out of right wing anti vaxxers) no matter how wrong they might be. Fostering such disdain isn’t only unjust, but imprudent too, since a healthy (no pun intended) country requires some semblance of affection among its citizens as opposed to mutual animosities 

I apolitically very solidly do not endorse or put my stamp of approval on the authoritarian restrictions China has used during the pandemic on its citizens at all.  

I do hope people are restricted like they were during the pandemic but permanently and for reasons that have NOTHING to do with health.  People are so brainwashed to do recreational things, I would love seeing them be forced by law to permanently stop doing those things via lockdowns, self isolation, travel bans and similar restrictions.

I give credit to Piers Corbyn for having balls of steel to protest vaccines at clinics while people were getting vaxxed and for his ‘firey’ words for pro vaxx MPs. He was very bold, passionate and of course 100 percent wrong and obviously reckless in doing his protesting and anti vaxx nonsense. I respect his right to protest at those clinics and I also respect the right of those clinics to get him arrested for harassment. Uk is the land of the magna carta  . I applaud Jeremy Corbyn for not publicly condemning him
