I agree that fossils fuels are being subsidized where they should be carbon taxed, and that's the only reason most crypto mining (and many other industries) using fossils fuels is still viable. But I disagree that bans are always authoritarian "madness". We ban things all the time. There are many substances and contraptions that you must hold a license to own or use. We have ban murder. We don't just disincentivize it, we actually do not allow it. And no one disagrees that this should be the case.

And this isn't a slippery slope argument, we are now at the point where irresponsible care for our climate is translating into actual lives lost.

Also, this is a perfect example of calling something "fascist" that categorically does not fit the definition of fascist. Fascism requires you to believe that one arbitrary group of people is superior to another, and that the govt/legislation should reflect this.
