The left feeds off of perpetual emergencies that do not have a clearly defined goal for success.

Feminism, racism, climate change, gun violence, hunger. If one woman feels ashamed, if a black man fails at life, if one gas tank is filled, if one person is shot, if someone is going hungry then more must be done.

It never ends.

Everything is a crisis because behind every single criminal there's some sort of magic hidden enemy class is trying to undermine socialism.

It needs to be an "emergency" so that you stop thinking about it and do what you're told:

Stop asking questions, this is an emergency, can't you read? Now do exactly what the activist commissar says, and nobody gets hurt...

Everything they do is fear mongering at this point. And that’s partly because it worked. They’re going to keep doing it.

When you give humans a goal that can be achieved, they will ban together to achieve it. Great societies and empires can be born.

When you give them a goal that cannot be achieved, they will sink into nihilism or turn on each other and destroy themselves. Collapsing society and leaving a population vulnerable to conquest.

Because "Climate Crisis" wasn't getting the kind of fear reaction they wanted. And if anybody is actually worried about the environment, they have to come to terms with this before thinking that more taxes or government programs will fix anything.

I've had moderate success with the following rhetoric:

"Are you willing to go to war with China in order to save the environment?"

Turns out no one has the balls to deal with the problem after all.

That's been my line of reasoning. If climate change was ACTUALLY going to doom humanity within 20 years, it would be our moral responsibility to nuke China.

If progressives/globalists/environmentalists are not on board with this than they don't actually believe in the cause.

Same thing with religious folk who say everyone but them is going to hell. If you ACTUALLY believed in eternal damnation, you would be morally responsible for committing your life to proselytizing.

Not only nuking China, but taking care of the homeless in the US and enforcing very strict immigration control. While nowhere near the contributor to pollution as China, the homeless and illegal aliens pollute our waterways, leave trash everywhere, and defecate wherever they please. Plastic straws and plastic bags are banned, yet they have no qualms about the piles of trash and feces being left on the streets and in the less developed parts of the US.

More taxes does fix something though (from their perspective). It drives their agenda of government control over private industry: fast-tracking fascism.

All true, but I know people who still think it's our fault because so many of the products bought in the US are made in China. And their "solution" is for everyone in our country to stop buying so much and to raise taxes.

Just more evidence that someone who specializes in one discipline can be a fool in another.

The solution is to buy local and tariff the shit out of global goods. Would clean up "the climate emergency" overnight. They would probably support nuking china before they would support the end of their global communist dreams though.

You want to know what I find funny about this sort of Climate Change bullshit? Here in Kansas, the average person thinks its all a scam and will laugh in your face it you come at them preaching your Sun Monster religion. So, how much of the grid do you think is renewable? Well, 42% is wind power. Why do we use so much wind power? Because in Kansas, when you say "There is no wind today", what you really mean is "There is a light breeze today" because there is no such thing as "No wind in Kansas".

But this was done not because we had governors who demanded we do this. God knows if that was the issue they would be having a cow over Jeffrey. No, we do wind turbines because it is cheap and efficient and it works, much like the windmills of our forefathers on the prairie.

In fact, locally it is the climate activist who complain the most about the turbines because "Its bad for the prairie!" and "It ruins the skyline!" And like when they push their Sun Monster religion, people just blow them off for those complaints too.

But if you ask the average Climate Cultist, we here in Kansas are a bunch of Neanderthals because we dont agree with their religion. Imagine that.

Whichever form of power generation you use, from solar to tidal to gasp nuclear, there's an argument (albeit hysterical increasingly-hysterical more hysterical than usual in the case of nuclear) against it; the aim isn't to get you to use "green" electricity. What they seem to want is you to stop using electricity.

They're like the injun I saw a while back who was bitching about how he didn't need white folk or white civilization and YEAH, he damn well wished he was still living wild and free in the stone age .. until it was pointed out that he'd have no computer to bitch or play gamez on, and he'd have to walk everywhere because no horses or cars.

And of course, it was a Toronto injun, the ones out here don't talk like that. His initial problem was something about some bones or maybe a funny-shaped rock found in High Park. Like Natives would have died on every inch of land over the course of a few thousand years, and not all of them had burial customs.

And what look like human-altered rocks aren't always. They recently found that a certain species of monkeys that lives in the same place proto-humans allegedly made warez, likes to break rocks to get at the salts inside by throwing them against other rocks to bust them. The resulting shards look like man-made hand axes, but these particular monkeys have no apparent use for those. So now palaeoanthropologists have to go back and re-examine every so-called man-made stone age tool from pretty much anywhere this or similar monkeys live. (The two species of monkeys who DO use stone tools, well, they're made for monkey hands, I guess, and so are more easily distinguishable from human-hand tools. And yes, I do mean monkey when I say monkey, if I meant ape, I'd use that word.)

I think the funniest one was they went to some rancher who was letting the power company build turbines on his land in exchange monthly payments. They told him he was ruining the “picturesque skyline” by building them, and the rancher told them “Tell you what: if you pay me the same for that skyline, I will take them down.” The activist shut up real quick.

When the aggregate loses their comfort against the goals of the elite. It's that simple. Comfort is probably the sole thing I can think of that's keeping people docile among all the shit that's happening.

The moment Bob and Karen can't drive their own gas guzzlers, have to turn off their AC, can't buy meat (oh, woe to them who takes away beef)... that's when the shit will hit the fan.

No (new) gas guzzlers exist. Governments banned them.

Turning off the AC has already started. Poor people in AZ can't afford the electricity, and in CA it doesn't matter if you can afford it.

Meat is still pretty cheap.

Right? If these yahoos actually gave half a shit about cLiMaTe ChAngE they'd be all aboard the nuclear train.

I'd go so far as to say they'd try to stop relying on smartphones, fancy new tvs, inordinately cheap clothing made by Chinese slaves workers, daily Starbucks coffees; they'd stop stuffing their fat faces and try to be thin so they don't need as much; and they'd stop being the good little consoomers they are. They're all about reducing their own carbon footprint right?

Nah, they aren't going to be doing that anytime soon. They're generally as "bad" as us and they still have the gall to act high and mighty from atop their high horse.

They are doing this cause it works, there is no reason so why they would change.

  1. being for free speech = nazi (crisis that need censorship)

  2. being color-blind = institutional racism (another crisis that requires massive affirmative action programs that makes sure one ideology is present in all positions of power)

  3. thinking kids should not be on puberty blockers = transphobe (also a crisis that requires turning kids against parents)

  4. mass shooter kills people = gun crisis (requires they take your guns away)

All this crisis are used to scare people in to giving away their rights, textbook hydra in winter soldier. And yet they made J.P. the red skull.

The average left individual seems dumb as fuck and yet woke leftists are running everything and they are extremly efficent. How the fuck did that happen?
