Defining Nationalist Environmentalism
If “eco-fascism” ever takes hold in America, it will come from the globalist Left, not the nationalist Right.
Edward Ring
FTA:
Earlier this year, an opinion columnist for the left-wing Guardian claimed, “eco-fascism is undergoing a revival in the fetid culture of the extreme right.” His observations were in reaction to the New Zealand massacre, where the alleged shooter identified himself as an “eco-fascist.”
This accusation, that the “fetid culture of the extreme right” includes a significant cohort of genocidal eco-fascists, is gaining traction.
Mother Jones just published a report titled, “Anti-Immigration White Supremacy Has Deep Roots in the Environmental Movement” that “highlights far-right extremists’ budding revival of eco-fascism.” That report reprises a New Yorker article from 2015 headlined “Environmentalism’s Racist History.”
Expect more of this from the establishment media: right-wing equals white supremacist equals genocidal eco-fascist.
But where are they going with this new narrative? If their goal is simply to underscore the alleged danger presented by anyone right-of-center, is this truly the best approach? Because it doesn’t stand up to logic, and it risks exposing the illogic of most conventional environmentalist policies.
A Deplatformmed YouTuber Cut Through the Left-Wing Cant
An interesting online commentator with over 450,000 subscribers on YouTube is 23 year old James Allsup. In only two years, his YouTube videos have been watched over 73 million times, and along with attracting nearly a half-million followers, he managed to get himself stamped as a right-wing extremist and “white nationalist” by the usual suspects, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, Media Matters, and others. YouTube banned Allsup and two other popular channels on Monday. You can still find all his videos on BitChute.
Without watching all of Allsup’s more than 200 videos posted to-date, it’s impossible to know exactly what he may have said that crossed some line, wherever that line is drawn. But in a video posted on August 22, he mocked the “white supremacist” label, correctly noting that virtually every mainstream media outlet in America is referring to President Trump as a white supremacist, and that conventional establishment wisdom holds that Trump’s 100 million supporters are also white supremacists. Allsup also amusingly notes that “white supremacy is not supported by science,” since East Asians consistently score higher than whites on IQ tests.
When it comes to “eco-fascism,” however, Allsup’s recent video (still available on BitChute) “Environmentalism is Now RACIST” not only mocks this new narrative coming from the Left, but offers a four-point summary of what he terms “nationalist environmentalism.”
Restating the obvious, but well
t becomes clearer every day that most journalists would rather have Democrats in power than a good economy
By Jack Hellner
FTA:
The public is treated to a continuous barrage of stories saying how we might be headed to a recession.
The source of all the negative reporting on the economy is that almost all of the media wants a Democrat elected in 2020 and people who pretend to be journalists know that if the economy is going well and people feel good about the economy, it would be likely that Trump would be elected. Pocketbook issues win.
Like everything else, whether it is fictitious Russian collusion, claiming Trump is mentally incompetent, claiming everyone hates us overseas, and playing the race card, the media is essentially campaigning for Democrats instead of doing their job of reporting the truth.
The strategy appears to be working somewhat because, despite record job openings, wages rising faster than any time while Obama was in office, and record low unemployment, especially for minorities and the less-educated, tax cuts that benefitted almost everyone, stock markets near record highs, many people have been indoctrinated to believe the economy is collapsing.
New poll has bad news for Trump. Voters think the economy is getting worse
Trump’s strongest case for reelection is arguably the economy — he says so himself. But that argument might be slipping with voters, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
For the first time since Mr. Trump won the presidency in 2016, more registered voters say the country’s economy is getting worse than say it’s getting better. Voters still think the economy is good, but of those polled, 37% say the economy is getting worse, compared with 31% who say it’s getting better and 30% who say it’s staying the same. Just two months earlier in June, 23% of voters Quinnipiac surveyed said the economy was getting worse.
While polls show that people think the economy will collapse soon, egged on by economists who have been completely wrong so far about Trump, consumer sentiment for current conditions is near a twenty-year high. Isn’t that something? The people know the current conditions are great but believe, because of talking points, that it will go down soon. It is like believing inaccurate, manipulated computer models on the climate and predictions vs. historical facts.
