I’ve said it for a long time, now. Kurt Schlichter is always worth a read, over at Townhall. But this one is truly epic.
Clearly Greta Thunberg is being exploited by her cynical puppetmasters, but equally clearly she’s a tiresome, bizarre Marxist scold whose exploitation of the hapless dummies who buy into the climate change hoax is part of what is an increasingly violent plot to undermine capitalism and freedom. Recently, the cretins at TIME, which shockingly still exists in 2019, named her “Person of the Year.” That’s appropriate, since 2019 has been a very annoying year.
….
But today, we’re all supposed to fall over ourselves over Pippi Longnagging – at least that’s what our betters command – yet it’s unclear why. Teenagers are notoriously ignorant, and ones spewing recycled Marxism are the worst of all. But the idea is not that this tiresome truant is some visionary thinker. The idea is to leverage her youth and awkwardness to keep you from speaking the indisputable truth that she’s a weird brat who presses for an ideology that butchered 100 million people in the last century. And now, she is hinting she wants to run up that score.
Obviously, you should go and read the whole thing.
But pay particular attention to this passage:
Wait, “the science demands” that we “dismantle” all our “[c]olonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression?” Now, what science exactly is that? Is it geology? Physics? Phrenology maybe?
…
Quick: name a climate change remedy that does not result in you being less free and/or paying more money. It’s actually remarkable. Every single thing that we absolutely must do right now no time to wait how dare you pause to think how dare you is something leftists always wanted but could never talk people into doing until the threat of weather vengeance started lurking around the corner.
And, there it is… That’s the entire truth of the matter.
The fact that the girl looks for all the world like the perfect “Hitler Youth” candidate is no accident.
This is simply the left trying to sell what has never been able to sell before without screaming “it’s for the children”. Only this time of course they’ve managed to get the child to do it.
And you knew I was going to mention that, didn’t you? Well, there’s a reason for that. It’s the embarrassing truth. As Schlichter points out, Europeans tend to be suckers for bizarre totalitarian philosophies. History has repeatedly shown that to be the truth. But those totalitarian philosophies that she has been making noises about these past several months did not arrive in that thick little skull of hers without help. Most societies would call that process child abuse.
And before you start tuning up about how I shouldn’t be criticizing a child…
..let me remind you of a name you haven’t heard recently. Nick Sandman. The ones that are complaining about the supposed mistreatment of Greta Thunberg were the ones who were loudly derisive with Nick Sandman.
You tell ME why the difference.
