Totalitarian Religions

From WattsUpWithThat, an essay, not the religion of “White Guilt” but of ”

There are at least two ecologies: one rational, the other nonsensical; one that broadens our outlook while the other narrows it; one democratic, the other totalitarian. The first wants to tell us about the damage done by industrial civilization; the second infers from this the human species’ guilt. For the latter, nature is only a stick to be used to beat human beings. Just as third-worldism was the shame of colonial history, and repentance was contrition with regard to the present, catastrophism constitutes the anticipated remorse of the future: The meaning of history having evaporated, every change is a potential collapse that augurs nothing good.

The whole essay here by Pascal Bruckner here.

Guilt to the extreme – and the only resolution of the environmental angst of guilt, the only penitence of the extreme environmentalists can accept, is that of the “live smaller and smaller” lifestyles by all.  Which demands complete dedication in homage to Gaia (Earth Mother).  Otherwise, there never can be a propitiation of their enviro-guilt and presumed sins individually until we either bow to them voluntarily or suffer the totalitarianism they demand.

Hey, where have I heard that before?

…that my individual salvation is not going to come about without a collective salvation for the country. Unfortunately, I think that recognition requires that we make sacrifices and this country has not always been willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary to bring about a new day and a new age.

Who knew that I had no choice in having to join their religion without saying “sure”?

Islam, Environmentalism, Progressive Obama – “You WILL be absorbed”.  All that is needed to have this to come to pass is a simple application of totalitarianism.  After all, few of us would willingly choose these options.  Yet, the few, in return, DEMAND they can force themselves upon us.

Freedom or Tyranny?  They chose the latter.
