#October 2024: The Rise of Ecofascism: Climate Change and the Far Right

The title refers to a possible future in which the far right can no longer rely on capitalism and using historical references suggests how ecological arguments could in future be subverted to support a fascist agendas. It does not refer to and current "ecofascism" which is mearly a concept. By the authors own admission the term "Ecofascism" is somewhat inappropriate and has previously been used to smear legitimate climate concerns.
Whilst I'm sure the authors have good intentions I think the title is an inappropriate punchline to grab attention.
In a future with insufficient resources there will be people who come up with reasons based on race and historical connection to land to justify their existence over others.
You don't need to read a book listing the possible methods to work that out.

you're right. that would be a good option. it seems I'm temporarily barred from borrowing more books for the above reason, but I could try and check it out later. 😅

The library I go to doesn't even normally have late fees, I thought. I will have to go in and beg for forgiveness and just slowly pay it off over time enough that I can check out books again

Maybe they're charges for the books themselves since it's been a while?

My local library & librarians are the best

Hello everyone! I was 100% ready to have book club today, but found out that I did not, in fact, schedule the events!
I absolutely remember doing so and even looking up the midpoint of the book but...I also had a really high Covid fever at the time?!
Since the book is pretty short, we will just have one session two weeks from today. Here's the event. https://discord.gg/xRBqsAn3?event=1295067368481095782
I apologize for hallucinating that I created Discord events
