In the era of the Left’s bum-rush toward absolute fascist global control, they’ve set about a strategy that seems counterintuitive to the endearment of the masses, privation, ‘a state in which things that are essential for human well-being such as food and warmth are scarce or lacking’, according to an online version of the Oxford dictionary.
We all know about oil, the root of all evil depending on who you ask. The left used to flame over oil because it was the mother’s milk of capitalism, the thing that made the world go round, the driver of all things – evil wealth. Then ‘global warming’ came along, and after that failed to deliver, real global warming that is, they changed the argument to ‘climate change’. Climate, any climate, or even weather, any weather, provides an infinite wealth of fear for the ever more ignorant masses. The left slowly developed ‘climate change’ into a perpetual state of hysteria and have adopted it as a one size fits all excuse to seize control of – basically – all global behavior and obedience to elites. The left was never successful in mass manipulation when the stated evil was just capitalism. Of course, it’s still in the mix and is a fundamental target of the Left for annihilation, but fervor was never possible for the masses.
Now that ‘climate change’ is established public obsession #1, the branches of control begin to widen and now encompass a whole range of things treasured by most people. Beyond oil, all energy production, except for windmills and Chinese produced solar cells, which is to say, all energy production, is now verboten. The shaky alternatives proffered by the Left are outrageously destructive to the environment with mass mining of toxic metals and killing whole populations of whales and billions of birds, but you can’t make an omelet without cracking an egg, right? Now, under the Biden administration, there’s open season on far more useful but miniscule habits of consumption that have progressively less to do with any practical impact on energy production or the environment. While climate change is still the omnipresent excuse, when you examine the pattern of the banning de-jour, what they’re really after is human behaviors and comforts.
While I doubt I can capture a comprehensive list, I can offer a few of the highlights: Straws, snack foods, carbonated drinks, single family housing, gas stoves, farms, real meat, lawn mowers, coffee, beer, ceiling fans. The last three have just popped up in the news the past couple of weeks. The list is becoming a parody of whacked out activism. What do these things have in common? Is it in any way a prioritized list on what would make any difference on climate? Not even remotely. While all consumption has a ‘footprint’, climate whackos are conspicuously silent on all the things that have a real impact, things like developing countries, ocean shipping, volcanos, and other natural phenomena; and let us not leave behind the armada of private jets used by the same world elites that would rule over us.
The privations now at various stages of consideration and action, from academic discussion to threat of government regulation, are practical necessities that make life more comfortable, pleasurable, or pleasing. They all provide some degree of human satisfaction above and beyond the alternatives. THAT is what they – and lets be specific here, the WEF folks, the Bill Gates’s of the world, the Biden regime, and all other progressive 1st world governments – this is precisely what they are going for, to delegitimize your satisfaction, comfort, and values, and to condition you to accept less in everything across the board, because that is their end game, provided they deem you even worthy to remain on this planet. All people that will acquiesce to poverty will also obey and no others need apply.
This is defined by the pattern. If you’re looking for a document, an email, a manifesto, you’ll never find it short of reading a thousand academic papers and, in that absence, they are counting on you to suspend your doubts and fall in line. Most of you will and that is the scary part. You are already conditioned to doubt, to fear, to suspend reason, to not believe what you plainly see with your eyes and live in perpetual waiting for some undefined ‘proof’ that will never come until they beat down your door. They’ve already proved that during Covid when they beat old people in the streets of Canada and Australia (not just China and other thug nations) and dozens of other enlightened western ‘democracies, just for slipping off a mask or taking a walk down an empty street. They are coming for your comforts in the name false climate change and the ball is now in your court.
