Environmentalism seems to have entered into an extremely weird phase.
A great example is lefty climate alarmist Naomi Klein trying to use the coronavirus pandemic to stoke fear and anger over capitalism in an eight-minute and forty-eight-second video.
She slammed “coronavirus capitalism” and whined that the climate is more important than economic stability during the coronavirus pandemic:
“China, for its part, is indicating that it will relax environmental standards to stimulate its economy, which would wipe out the one major benefit the crisis has produced so far: a marked drop in that country’s lethal air pollution.” (emphasis added)
Only the environmentalist left would find a silver lining in a global pandemic.
Klein piggy-backed off of pandemic fears and appeared to snap at capitalists, asking whose ideas were going to be followed “[i]n times of crisis.”
“In times of crisis, seemingly impossible ideas suddenly become possible. But whose ideas? Sensible, fair ones —designed to keep as many people as possible safe, secure, and healthy? Or, predatory ideas — designed to further enrich the already unimaginably wealthy, while leaving the most vulnerable further exposed,” (Emphasis added)?
Klein grumbled further: “In the midst of this widespread panic, corporate lobbyists of all stripes are, of course, dusting off all the ideas they had lying around.”
Klein continued with, “Trump is pushing a suspension of the payroll tax, which could bankrupt Social Security, providing the excuse to cut it or privatize it completely—an idea that has been lying around for a very long time.” (Emphasis added).
Klein then whined that “there are the ideas being floated to bail out some of the wealthiest and most polluting sectors in our economy.” (Emphasis added.)
The video then panned to President Donald Trump discussing certain economic sectors he seeks to assist with his stimulus package before Klein interjected with another dig at the president:
“Bailouts for fracking companies, not to mention cruise ships, airlines and hotels — handouts which Trump could benefit from personally, which is a big problem because the virus is not the only crisis we face.” (Emphasis added)
She then sought to shift focus away from the ongoing pandemic to focus on “climate disruption.” Yes, really:
“[T]here is also climate disruption, and these industries that are getting ‘rescued’ with our money are the ones driving it,” (Emphasis added)
Never let a crisis go to waste…

The green nuts they just keep falling off the tree of nuts here is a example of it all
The world wide clampdown “in a good cause” shows how quickly liberals degenerate into fascists once someone is stupid enough to give them unlimited powers.
Here in South Africa they are appointing “spotters” to inform on anyone breaking the booze curfew.
(From Red Dwarf) Welcome the glorious years of fascism – inform on friends and family – fabulous prizes to be won !
Look into her eyes, devoid of life. These are the people who hate humans and this planet.
I found this quote from David Horowitz “Socialism is a plan of morally sanctioned theft. It is about dividing up what others have created. Consequently, socialist economies don’t work; they create poverty instead of wealth. This is unarguable historical fact, but that has not prompted the left to have second thoughts”.
The last part is the kicker, they know that they’re going to wreck, but plow ahead regardless.
One of the great slogans of communism is, “From each according to ability, to each according to need.” The big flaw is there is nothing to motivate those with the ability if they don’t receive a reward for their work. Without this motivation, economic out put is always at a low level.
We call these people watermelons their Green on the Outside and Red Inside
When the US Constitution was drafted – Ben Franklin was asked “What form of government are we going to have?” He replied “A Republic – if you can keep it.”
Socrates: “Republics degenerate into Democracies which become dictatorships”.
Brainwashing by repeating a lie. President Wilson, a democrat – “Keep the world safe for democracy”. FDR, a democrat – “The arsenal of democracy.” You may search the US Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution for “Democracy” (or any derivative word) – it isn’t there. And there’s any number of current members of government who refer to the US as a “representative democracy”. It isn’t – it is a “Constitutional Republic”, a world of difference.
So, can we ‘keep it’? Right now it’s not looking so good…..
There was a time when men who owned property voted. That was the bar.
Today, it’s wide open.
Too bad that the bozos who vote for free stuff choose candidates who couldn’t run a lemonade stand.
There’s some innate human traits that motivate us to produce without profit. Charity feels good. Being able to pick up the tab feels good. Random acts of kindness.
What kills that spirit is the resentment, the jealousy from the recipients. “That was yesterday…”
At least the Liberals, Democrats, Greens and NDP are happy about the WuFlu. It has accelerated their mission to destroy the Canadian economy so nutcases like Klein can claim to have clean air.
Socialism caused it, Capitalism will ix it.
