Name 5 scholarly works you've read on fascism, or 3 on ecofascism specifically.

In other words: I have a lot of knowledge about this shit. The overpopulation myth is tied to fascism at the hip. You've integrated fascist propaganda into your worldview if you think overpopulation is the issue.

Yeah, bad shit like lifting millions out of abject poverty, passing the hump on emissions, producing 80 percent of the world's solar, focusing on mutual economic benefit instead of imperialism like the NATO bloc, etc etc

Oh look ecofascism

I dont agree that the situation supports your train of logic, and I think you're mischaracterising their comment. For example, there is nothing that includes "why should we even live?" in their comment

How did you transmute a critique of capitalism into a critique of life?

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Well, again, it is just a hypothesis. Also "happening for long enough" isn't necessarily how it works, for all you know it could have happened during a brief period and remained vestigial, assuming it even happened.

Being attracted to body parts is a fetish. I'm using a neutral definition of fetish, there is not an intended negative connotation. Research shows that the only thing that's like, universally a turn on for people regardless of cultural context is people having sex or masturbating.

TIL sexual selection had nothing to do with social conditions, and cultures that do not fetishize breasts don't exist. /s

Seriously think it through for like one second, christ. Also the sexual selection hypothesis isn't proven lol

Pretty sure men and women are often attracted to boobs in cultures that fetishize boobs. There are some that don't. When you look at things from far enough back you start to notice that what you consider natural is not necessarily universal.

Reproduction is understood as the maintenance and continuation of existing social relations.

. In that application, it is used to explain the role of women in wider social and class structures, and their (often unrecognized) contribution to the capitalist economy via their (traditional) role within the household as both child-bearers and family caretakers, and by extension women's role as providers of free labor that is necessary to produce and maintain current and future workers.

Men wouldn't obsess over women's breasts if they weren't taught to by society, simple as. Plenty of cultures didn't have this phenomenon, and think that it is weird that people do that.
