At their core, the Climate Change Cult, the gay marriage movement, the feminists, La Raza, the #BlackLivesMatter…. the primary purpose of all these groups is to rally people to advance a progressive socialist agenda. Gays, Climate, Blacks, Illegal Immigrants… these are just targeted advertising for the leftist agenda; Like those web-ads that pop-up that say “Drivers In [Insert your state here] can save $200 with this one weird trick.” Only it’s, “You can get back at the Christians/white people/people more economically successful than you with this one weird trick.” Where the “weird trick” is embracing the leftist agenda.
In that spirit, a leader in the #BlackLivesMatter movement says that Climate Change is a racial issue because Global Warming is a conspiracy to oppress people of color: I am not making this up.
Climate change, also, is a form of “global anti-blackness” according to (#BlackLivesMatter co-founder) Opal Tometti because six out of the 10 countries that ranked highest on the “climate change vulnerability index” are in Africa, according to a study she referenced.
By the way, according to the leadership of #BlackLivesMatter, crime that minorities commit against other minorities doesn’t… um… matter.
(#BlackLivesMatter co-founder) AliciaGarza noted that “she wishes to retire” the phrase “black-on-black crime,” preferring to focus on “the violence of the state” as “not all violence is created equal.”
It’s not about helping blacks. It’s not about helping gays. It’s not about helping Muslims. It’s not about cleaning up the environment. It’s about dismantling capitalism, tearing down Western Civilization* and getting back at Christianity.
Everything else is marketing.
Not making that up, either. The President of Cornell University, who invited the activists, said the BLM and “affiliated activists will successfully ‘turn history around.’” So, the goal really is to toss out the Enlightenment and all that stuff about individual rights and replace it with a sort of Feudalistic Collectivism.
Hammer Nail Head.
They never bother to mention that the reason why AGW will supposedly affect those African countries the most is not because of their geographic location. It’s because of the fragility of their economic system.
Of course, the fragility of their economic system is brought on by their own exclusively black government that is so corrupt it could care less about their people than how much wealth they can amass for themselves.
I remember having to go to a seminar in my freshman year of college. The speaker, who was a faithful adherent of Regressive Leftist doctrine, basically had the thesis that we needed a “solution to the Africa Problem.” No joke, that was his terminology. His solution was that, since it is the middle period of economic development that is most harmful from an environmental perspective (think Industrial Era England), that the West either needs to move Africa to a post-industrial economy… or keep those parts of Africa that are pre-Industrial as they are, and “revert” those parts of Africa that are currently industrialized back to pre-Industrial levels of development. And since it would be cheaper to keep Africa at a pre-Industrial level of development, that should be the course of action in the West.
An older student pointed out that the speaker was echoing arguments made by eugenicists in the 20th century, and demanded to know why eugenicists were wrong when they advocated suppressing Africa, but he was right when he advocated it. The speaker responded that the eugenicists were immoral because “their idea lost consensus support.”
Sean L, yeah, and this is where moral relativism brings us. Only the morals of the majority matter.
Except, if they REALLY believed that, we would still be holding to the moral values of last century, when moral relativism first was advocated.
@ Craig Smith: When the majority is with them, it’s vox populi. When the majority is against them, they are the Enlightened Few.
If AWG is real, and if the effect is to extend the Holocene indefinitely, it will be the greatest achievement of human civilization.
Liberals are desperate. The future promises to be even more lopsidedly favorable to People Of North European Ancestry living under the rules of Western Civ.
The Fabian/Progressivist version of Marxism (both economic and cultural) is a naked attempt to hamstring Westerners as natural resources lose their importance relative to the high-mean-IQ-plus-high-trust-society benefits of Western Civ.
Caucasians in the West are set to actually increase planetary dominance. No wonder we’re under relentless attack, and the most insidious is the Fifth Column perfectly encapsulated by the fat, pink-haired lesbians attempting to book-burn their way to a monopoly of abuse. SJWs are not out to stop abuse — they are out to obtain a monopoly on it.
The only reason Marxism is “helping” blacks and other minorities is because the workers of the Western World did not rise up for them.
Country farmer #1: “Do you think it will rain?”
Country farmer #2: “It always has.”
This short exchange was a favorite of Mark Twain as he meandered about mocking himself and his fellow man. In his talks he would pause …….. “Man is the noblest work of God.” …… “Who found that out?”
We have reached the point in our public discourse in which basic humility has become extinct. Consider the phrase: “Black lives matter.” Well, yes, and what’s your point? Speak to me. What motivates you to focus on such a fundamental no-brainer? Peel back the skin on that obvious bromide and tell me what you are really pushing. If that is all you’ve got, get back on your mule and ride out of here. Are you trolling for bigots?
As for “climate change” it is clear to me that “man caused global warming” has been such a bust that the professional climate Chicken Little’s have been forced to show their fannies. Of course climate changes, it always has.
If you are so damned certain you are tuned into the cause of climate change and that you are so damned smart that you can manipulate the cause of said climate change, how about you show us something simple like how to keep the polarity of the Earth from reversing?
Honestly, the arrogance embedded in telling people that black lives matter is astounding. Thanks for the information, I will pass it along at Starbucks. I am sure that it will make everyone’s Birkenstocks fit better.
Given the reaction the BLM brats have when somebody says that “black lives matter just like all lives matter,” it’s obvious that they are pushing nothing less than black supremacy and are agitating for open race war. If it was a bunch of white people saying the same stuff, you’d see a far more forceful response from the police- and possibly the National Guard too, for that matter.
