“We have been striking now for over a year, and still basically nothing has happened”
Yep, poor Greta is frustrated with adults. Boy, what a shame – they just won’t listen to her, this maladjusted 16-year-old school dropout autism-spectrum kid that believes that she IS that magic wand that can change everything at the snap of her fingers.
At least, a year ago she did. I know the eco-socialists are just using her – a sophomore girl with mental issues that can’t see that her moment of worldwide fame is of her own doing but those behind her making her trips and media attention for her. To this point, it has been about “climate”:
““I sincerely hope COP25 will reach something concrete and increase awareness among people, and that world leaders and people in power grasp the urgency of the climate crisis, because right now it does not seem that they are. We can’t go on like this; it is not sustainable that children skip school and we don’t want to continue — we would love some action from the people in power. People are suffering and dying today. We can’t wait any longer,”
No, it isn’t sustainable that kids are skipping school – so where are THEIR parents and what about THEIR School Administration starting to deal with their truency? But then she’s let the cat out of the bag (just like AOC’s former chief of staff did when he said that the Green New Deal wasn’t about climate but killing off capitalism):
…It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.”
Thunberg said that her goal in her “climate resistance movement” is “to change everything.”
Right. And Trump was wrong to tweet out about this child who was thrust into the political limelight – and decided to stay there? I’m against kids being used as pawns in politics but now she’s all in. The problem is that her handlers may have been feeding her the regular Leftist clap-trap thinking that she’d stay on message. Well…..GOLLY – she’s spilled the beans about the whole undergirding of current environmental movement. Truthfully, it ISN’T about climate – it is about control. Control of you, those around you – everything iota of modern life.
And she has little to no awareness of the irony of her not flying across the Atlantic twice due to “carbon footprint” but little to say about the necessary crew members / captain needed to fly back and forth to enable her “boasting” (er, lying) about her “Carbon Puritanism”.
But this sums up what is going on; the kicker is from Drieu Godefridi’s new book: Is Environmentalism the New Totalitarianism?
In order to prevent climate-induced economic harm sometime in the future, these people plan to devastate the economy now. They make no secret of their intent to shut down virtually all human activity, including travel and trade.
This, says Godefridi, makes environmentalism more “ambitious in its desire to subdue” humanity “than any previous doctrine.” Unlike Marxism, he writes,
Environmentalism does not intend to seize the means of production to increase and distribute the fruits in an equal manner. Environmentalism plans to seize the means of production to stop it.
