A futuristic narrative on eco-fascism
Alleged climate crisis-induced stresses fuel a narrative blaming marginalized communities for mass migration. The global north, deemed less susceptible to climate impacts, is opportunistically presented as the preferred destination for supposed climate refugees. Debates on their legal recognition spawn xenophobia, racism, and potential fascism.
In this dystopian future, Eco-fascism emerges, intertwining environmentalism with anti-migrant nationalism and invoking "blood and soil" in a convoluted conspiracy. This challenges democratic values, as far-right parties, while publicly condemning violence, subtly promote aggression against perceived 'Occupiers' through populist rhetoric.
Extremist factions have cultivated a sect contending that climate change stems from migration and overpopulation, utilizing the concept of "migrant instrumentalization." They allege a plan for the "great replacement" of the "white race" and environmental degradation, drawing on white nationalist conspiracy theory. Exploiting interpretations of their sect, they demand immigrants' return, justifying violent actions rooted in eco-fascist ideologies.
Using Earth Day symbolism and religious concepts, extremists hold rituals emphasizing a connection between racial identity, territories, and the environment. This ideological blend asserts that maintaining racial purity is vital for specific territories and environmental preservation, justifying discrimination, exclusion, and violence.
