Greta is back, and we are supposed to care

Greta Thunberg is back in the news for some reason, and we are actually supposed to care what she thinks. She has a book, I think.

I don’t care one whit about what she thinks. She is a terribly spoiled teenager being exploited by both her parents and the Elite™. She is the drag child of climate, and I feel sorry for her. I would be as inclined to take her advice on climate policy as I would be to listen to Dylan Mulvaney’s lecture on female biology.

We as conservatives like to make fun of Greta because she is so easy to parody. She screams. She pouts. She glares wonderfully. It was great fun to see her screaming at the United Nations. How dare you! Watching ambassadors from around the world clap after she insults them is comedy gold. Honestly. It is hilarious.

But none of that matters in the real world. Dylan Mulvaney and Greta Thunberg are just acting like spoiled brats. Mulvaney has no excuse, because he is 25 and merely seeking attention. Only the President of the United States and Ulta Cosmetics take him entirely seriously.

Thunberg has been groomed to be a spoiled brat and will bear that burden the rest of her life. She deserves pity, not scorn. Unfortunately scorn is what she will get because it is great fun to ridicule the ridiculous, and she is quite ridiculous. We make fun of her because it is fun to do so, and we are making fun of the climate cabal at the same time.

So if Thunberg is a sideshow, why does she deserve any attention at all?

She as a person doesn’t, but the fact that this act plays well on Broadway actually does. Thunberg is a tool of the Elite™, barely a real person at all. What her prominence shows is the utter and complete corruption of the media, the political class, the activists, and ultimately the entire Left. To them this child (now young adult) isn’t a person, but a symbol. The embodiment of a cause. A propaganda tool, like the Young Komsomol during the Soviet Era.

The corruption of the symbol–a little girl frightened to death by a manipulative political movement–embodies everything the Left stands for. They abuse children, have contempt for average people, and have a lust for power so great that they would sacrifice anybody or anything to achieve their goal of amassing wealth and power. They are evil.

Thunberg’s original cause was stopping the weather, as if screaming loud enough and glaring hard enough could persuade God and Man to force the Earth into submission. But now she has a greater purpose than that–one that makes obvious to those too blinded to see it that Leftism is all about destroying society, not saving the world. She is all-in on destroying capitalism.

Quelle surprise! Who could have guessed that the climate change cult is all about replacing capitalism with a world economy guided by the benevolent dictators of the intelligentsia? Not me! I would never, ever have predicted this!

Previously, she’d sold herself as a five-foot human alarm bell, a climate Cassandra. Her role was to warn, not to instruct: her most viral moments involved her scolding political leaders, not trying to supplant them. She strenuously avoided programmatic detail, saying such things were “nothing to do with me”. But now, on stage and in this book, she has found her political feet, specifically the Left-wing ideology of anti-capitalism and de-growth.

Interspersed among the usual directives about the need to pressure political leaders, her message was more radical and more militant than it has been in the past. There is no “back to normal”, she told us. “Normal” was the “system” which gave us the climate crisis, a system of “colonialism, imperialism, oppression, genocide”, of “racist, oppressive extractionism”. Climate justice is part of all justice; you can’t have one without the others. We can’t trust the elites produced by this system to confront its flaws — that’s why she, much like Rishi Sunak, won’t be bothering with the COP meeting this year. COP itself is little more than a “scam” which facilitates “greenwashing, lying and cheating”. Only overthrow of “the whole capitalist system” will suffice.

At least she figured out that the climate change posturing is nothing but a scam.

As a mere young adult, she still hasn’t figured out that the scam is not so much about saving the Earth as it is about doing exactly what she is calling for: replacing the current world economy into one dominated by the few who rule over the many. It is about implementing collectivism, and as with all collectivist systems spreading “equality” is not the real mission, but the advertising slogan used by a fascist dictating class to keep the plebs in line.

Thunberg, who styles herself the truth teller and (now) opponent of the Elite™, is still doing their work for them. Far from challenging the agenda of the ruling class who have been busy destroying Mother Earth, she is working diligently to put yet more power and money into their hands.

Released last week, Thunberg’s The Climate Book includes about 100 contributions from various experts, including economist Thomas Piketty, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and the writer Naomi Klein.

The solution to the Climate Emergency™? Transfer gobs of money from ordinary folks to the scammers who will solve it. Transfer power to the regulators who will direct the economy. And eliminate all freedom in the name of saving the Earth itself! That will fix everything!

Thunberg is out pushing her undoubtedly very scientifically sound work “The Climate Book,” and she will no doubt make bank on it. And for that, more power to her. Kids need a cause and a purpose in life, and she has hers. There are plenty of fools who will take her seriously because they are being told to by The Elite. Whatever. It’s too bad the money will go to evil nonprofits, but they have gobs of it already anyway.

What matters is what Thunberg represents: a cog in the propaganda machine run by the fascists in world capitals and the financiers and billionaires doing their best to crush you and me. They are manipulating and exploiting our children in order to further their Bond-villain scale plans to seize power, and no moral limit will slow them down.

So my plea? As you inevitably ridicule Greta because she is so ridiculous, direct your scorn at the people behind her. They are the real villains and Greta just a pawn.

But please, keep up the meme making. It is comedy gold!
