Take no notice of Adam as he's a eco fascist


That's a new one on me?

Paul,

Ecofascist has been around for a while but your reply has stimulated me into
finding out what it means. There is an entry in Wikipedia for Ecofascism so
it must have arrived!

There are two entries in the Urban Dictionary:
One for "eco-fascist"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...rm=eco-fascist
A person who uses the unsubstantiated beliefs and sentiments of
environmentalism to impose their political will onto the scientifically
illiterate public to inflate their megalomanic sense of power. Usually at
the public's detriment.
...
Al Gore is one of the most notable and dogmatic eco-fascists for preaching
his prophecy of "Truth" for his own self-agrandizement and his obvious
agenda of demonizing the oil barons that defeated his political aspirations
to the US Presidency, which he clearly felt entitled to.

and another for "ecofascist"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...erm=ecofascist
The belief that the life of a wombat or a mosquito is more valuable than
that of a human, and the willingness to hold a gun to the head of anyone who
disagrees.

I think that either definition would make the term off topic for this
newsgroup :-)

Cheers, Alastair.


Thanks for that.
