Trading One Bunch of A**holes for Another …

If you are unfamiliar with their name, you have likely heard about how they conduct themselves. Just Stop Oil throws soup on paintings (to just stop oil paintings?), gets members run over by angry motorists (when they block highways), and does what are called direct action protests. They behave like a**holes and piss people off.

As a thing, Just Stop Oil sounds like a group of people suffering from an undocumented side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine. A mental illness that depresses the ability to think rationally, undermining the foundations of common sense. [Extinction Rebellion Decides To Stop Gluing Themselves To Things]

Just Stop Oil (JSO) was founded in 2022 to get its government to force people to live like it was the 1400s.

Just Stop Oil is a British environmental activist group primarily focused on the issue of human-caused climate change. The group aims to force the British government to commit to ending new fossil fuel licensing and production using civil resistance, nonviolent direct action, traffic obstruction, and vandalism. 

The government is Britain, and Just Stop Oil has announced that it will stop direct action altogether. Why? They’ve won, of course.

“Three years after bursting on the scene in a blaze of orange, at the end of April the Just Stop Oil campaign will be hanging up the hi-vis,” she said.

“Just Stop Oil’s demand to end new oil and gas is now government policy, making us one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history. We’ve made fossil-fuel licensing front page news and kept over 4.4bn barrels of oil in the ground, while courts have ruled new oil and gas unlawful.

Britain is collapsing into its embrace of renewable energy, and not long from now, the victims of these multiculti virtue signalers could be in a full-blown civil war when there are no lights or heat. That is the goal. Enviro groups like JSO are tasked with making modernity impossible by ensuring energy is a luxury that drives the middle class into rebellion. When the dust settles, the ideological offspring of Marx and Engels will rise from the ashes to welcome the utopia.

It’ll be a bit third-world at first and then for the rest of forever (that bit is not in the brochure, by the way), unless you are lucky enough to be one of the narcissistic psychopaths who mandated the changes necessary to rule such an arrangement—the two-class system with a one-party state.

Ironically, these sorts of governments are the worst polluters on the planet. Proper tyranny requires a lot of easy energy, and neither Wind nor solar is up to the task. Both are falling down hard and not so renewable as there aren’t enough resources available (or money by that point) to replace them when they fail before their time; and there isn’t enough of other people’s furniture to keep all the peasants warm (poaching carbon sinks in the kings forest will be punishable by hard labor or death).

No worries. Your premature departure from the world is part of the plan. You were wrecking the planet just by being, and by now your new government can’t afford you. But cheer up. Some bureaucratic functionary (pretending to be a therapist) will be happy to assist you in recognizing that your life is so miserable you should consider suicide. And your life will then have meaning. After you die, they will give your liver to some alcoholic commissar so he can help keep the despotism propped up for the good of the collective.

Thank God you let them disarm you so this evolution of culture could be possible.

The trading of one set of assholes working to stick you with another set and they claim to have accomplish this goal. Or, maybe, Just Stop Oil has pissed so many people off it is no longer safe to be the assholes – a job – if we’re honest – best left to professionals in the government.
