    I am not the one you are asking, but personally, in my honest opinion: An “emergency government”, lets say with a 20 year term, removing far right parties, doing the necessary changes to massively reduce our climate impact and prepare for the ineviteable fallout from climate change and doing other reforms wouldn’t be THAT bad of an idea…

      It absolutely would be a horrible idea lol. wtf are you talking about?!

      You’re asking for a dictatorship as long as it’s one that says they’ll do what you want. If you make rules allowing for a political party to remove any competitors and install themselves in power for as long as they want, how could it possibly go wrong?. Jesus Christ.

      So would you be ok with trump declaring an emergency government for himself for the next 20 years and removing all far left policies and making sure no left of centre parties can ever take control?

        No, what i am dalking about is: We WILL see a rise of an authoritarian party in germany in the near future, as we see with many countries worldwide at the moment. And i say: IF we are already doomed to have an authoritarian / fascist regime, i prefer it to be on the ecofascist side. And if there will be an opportunity for such an regime, well, i WILL support it.

          I don’t think you know what authoritarianism actually is.

          What countries are we seeing a rise in authoritarianism in currently, with examples of their authoritarian policies?

            I don’t think you know what authoritarianism actually is.

            I have relatives in China and Vietnam and lived in both places for extended periods of time… well, let’s just say i have a rough estimate…

        What else can you do when > 50% of the population is unwilling to help solving the single most dangerous problem in human history?

          See here is where your issues begin. You’re saying that what the majority want is wrong. You’ve decided that you know what is factually correct, you’re smarter than them all, and that the majority should not get a say.

          You want fascism. You want authoritarianism. You think that you and your opinions are non debatable correct, and want them dictated to everyone.

          Not sure, but installing an unelected goverment and abolishing elections for 20 years is literally fighting fascism with fascism, so let’s not do that.

            It’s not even fighting fascism with fascism, it’s just straight up wanting fascism as long as it’s his “team” in control.

            I am a bit fatalistic and perhaps a bit on the doomer side, but i am pretty sure we will get fascism one way or the other soon… and if this is ineviteable, i am very much in favour of installing ecofascism instead of other forms.

              OK so at least you admit that you just want fascism where the party you like is in control.
