That's a lot of your own political convictions put into that reading. I don't see an ecofascist statement in the comic.

I think green shirt's statement is a dogwhistle. I don't think someone advocating degrowth would have used the same words. As a supporter of degrowth myself, I don't think degrowth means the same thing as "reducing living standards". For example I don't own a car, and I'm happier riding a bike every day. Less growth increased my standard of living. I'm also vegan, and I rarely miss meat. I prefer the lack of guilt over the taste of meat. So I don't think my standard of living is any lower for having abandoned my reliance on animal subjugation and excessive land and water use. I don't think degrowth has to mean giving up the internet, or clean drinking water, or medicine, or many of the actual benefits of living in a developed nation.

Yeah. IMHO, that means the strawman starts in the first panel.

I don't think it's a strawman of degrowthers. I think green shirt is supposed to be an ecofascist. He's talking like an ecofascist, and being made fun of with the arguments that work on ecofascists.

If we solve our problems by voluntary choices such as your own, I’m completely on board with that.
