I'm not a pro-extinction activist, but I work for efilism in another way
As much passionate as I am with the goals of suffering-focused pro-extinction movements, I consider their activist means to be inefficient. Pro-extinction movements may be armed with the powerful philosophy of efilism, but they lack [1] the accuracy of a scientific theory of practice and [2] a central party of simpathizers. If not even antinatalism is managing to hold a popular strenght that much, how can we expect an efilist-extinctionist one to be successful?
We need to be realist and recognize that there are more ways to work in benefit of efilism and our fight against sentient suffering. For example, my ambitious Efilism Project that I so proudly talk about recently. In this project, I and other efilists are gonna work on sinthetizing efilism in order to reorganize it, solve its ambiguities and make a better presentation. After preparing the theoretical work, we are gonna put it in practice by creating a massive video covering an introduction and guidance for Efilism and its subcategories. It's gonna be useful both for beginners and studiers of efilism (efilists or not) who are seeking to learn more or consult specific informations.
I can guarantee that my project won't have sugarcoating. It will perfectly capture every aspect of efilism without having to adapt to what normies want. But it won't be as dissonant to people's interpretations as current extreme practices (like polluting the planet consciously) or pro-extinction movements based on efilism are. I can tell efilism will have more acceptance and people will care more about suffering. People don't understand what efilism is, and it's not easy to really know. My project will deal with this and will try to bring more accessibility to efilism, at the same rate as it accurately describes the philosophy and promotes efficient practices against suffering, in harmony with healthcare ethics and other proposals to increase our quality of life and influence for a better world.
In my view, it's not that desperate. We aren't lost. We have just not organized everything in the best way. We have a chance to fight against suffering, receive popular support and spread our philosophy and techniques. Efilism will grow stronger and better! I trust. ❤️
