Greta's Class War

It was like a case study in indifference. There was privileged Gen Zer Greta Thunberg and other Euro eco-brats smiling and flicking peace signs as they called on the Dutch government to stop subsidising fossil-fuel companies. Meanwhile, the Dutch people, very few of whom are the offspring of opera singers with the ear of the world media, are suffering one of the largest spikes in energy prices in all of Europe. Their bills are through the roof. They’re reeling from the ‘pain of high energy costs’, as some in the media describe it. And yet in sweeps giggling Greta and her barmy eco-army to agitate for less government backing for energy production, which would likely hike the price even more.

Rarely has the blinkered vanity, the sheer social apathy, of the green movement been so starkly illustrated. 

Ed Morrissey

This has always been a movement that seeks to depopulate the Earth, largely at the expense of the working class and the hoi polloi so that the elites could keep more goods for themselves. The Soviets did the same thing; ask the Ukrainians about the Holodomor, or the Russian kulaks for that matter ... if you can find any left. 

Same nihilism, different façades.
