As Scripture puts it, suffer not the little children. Unless, of course, they can be weaponized for political gain.
In the victimhood derby of our highly charged political environment, the Nickelodeon set has been the final frontier.
Although the education system has long indoctrinated kids in progressivism, they are now being turned into guided missiles for hyper-ambitious leftists.
Children are relatively new pawns in the left’s long game. For decades, kids have been sent into literal and metaphorical battle by dangerous regimes and movements, such as the Nazis, the Iranians, the Imperial Japanese, the communists and Islamic terror groups like al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and the PLO.
In America, however, children have been largely considered off-limits for political activism, even as political combatants often invoked “the children” to argue future stakes.
But kids are now pushed front and center, armed with scripted talking points and coached by adults to agitate for “change.”
Their targets cannot forcefully defend themselves, because the activists are, after all, mere children (which is, of course, the tactical point.)
Tragically, using kids as the tip of a political spear in this way is a distinct form of child abuse.
Examples abound, the most recent of which occurred recently when Sen. Dianne Feinstein was confronted by a group of tweens from the Sunshine Movement, which describes itself on Twitter as “building an army of young people to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.”
In other words: Indoctrination.
The little mob of half-pints was accompanied by a few adults, who egged them on as they challenged Ms. Feinstein to vote yes on the Green New Deal, originally proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), herself just barely out of school.

Ms. Feinstein calmly and thoughtfully interacted with them, despite their relentless — and clearly scripted — browbeating. Refusing to be bullied, Ms. Feinstein schooled the tots and their minders in how the government (and the real world) actually work.
Her basic civics lesson didn’t go over well with the radicals. The Sunshine Movement released a two-minute video of its staged scene with a tweet that claimed she reacted with “smugness and disrespect.”
However, longer video footage showed Sen. Feinstein patiently engaging on substance, indicating that she might vote yes and even offering one of the kids an internship.
This is how @SenFeinstein reacted to children asking her to support the #GreenNewDeal resolution — with smugness + disrespect.
This is a fight for our generation’s survival. Her reaction is why young people desperately want new leadership in Congress. pic.twitter.com/0zAkaxruMI

Yet, the radicals used the children to set her up as some sort of pathologically rude Green New Deal obstructionist. All they cared about was rolling tape on the exchange and turning a bunch of kids into little AOCs.

The left appears to have no problem manipulating children’s lives (and even deaths) to march their agenda forward. Get ‘em young, and keep the revolution going in perpetuity.

The Sunshine Movement just another group of nutcake’s who like the EDF exploits the kids for political gain a group with a name as stupid as Friends of the Earth. They sound like Children of the Corn and sacrifice all the adults as offerings to their pagan deity they worship
The scary global warming industry deserves some credit, they have now moved onto just using kids and not advertising blowing their heads up in class if they don’t sell the propaganda . Such nice people the eco-anarchists . Abort (murder ) new born’s , make lists of their fellow campers who actually try to get things done , eliminate the border to buy votes and drop everything to purse a 4 year coup of a duly elected President .
What do Nazis, the Iranians, the Imperial Japanese, the communists, al Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas all have in common? They are some of the evilest groups in world history. The fact that environmental left are now using children as combatants indicates that they are also evil. You don’t have to only consider children to know that the environmental left is totally devoid of all ethics. Consider fraudulently altering present day and historical temperature data to support the climate change movement. Consider the Australian professor who was fired by his university for accurately pointing out that pictures of the Great Barrier Reef had been photo shopped to make it appear there was more damage. Consider the persecution of Scott Adams for running just one Dilbert cartoon that was critical of the climate change movement. He said this persecution decreased his income by a third. Abusing children to further their cause is very consistent with other actions of the environmental left.
Its all about COMMUNISM and its implementation.
The UN IPCC has publicly stated they wish to “change” the Current Economic model the world has used for over 150 years.
TRANSLATION: Destroy Western Hemisphere Capitalism.
And that is bein accomplished via CO2 Based Climate Change and unfettered Migration to Create ENERGY POVERTY.
The End Goal…a planet with significantly fewer humans all working for the Elites….nothing has changed in 2000 years follks…not a dmand thing.
