Climate Cultists: The world is going end if we don't switch to lithium batteries for everything.
Also Climate Cultists: Mining lithium is going to end the world.
From a power perspective, it is very convenient for everything to be world ending to justify seizing control of everything, much like how everything being racist always justifies the creation of more commissars.
When leftist policies create rolling blackouts in first world countries, leftists don't complain. Because the blackouts aren't the problem. Peasants living in the first world is the problem.
They don't care if the peasants live or die. Progressives have this cynical conception of power with the oppressor/oppressed dynamic, as opposed to a proper heirarchy where both the ruled and the rulers have duties and obligations to each other, so progressives act out the role of the exploitative oppressor. As long as they can enrich themselves and expand their power, the consequences of policy on the lower classes is irrelevant to the progressive elite.
