Global Climate Hysteria / Ideas and Reflections

Reflections on Motives
The reason bureaucrats love to produce litanies of rules designed, in substance and in spirit, to reduce everyone to generic, interchangeable minions is obvious: Bureaucracy is the definitive realm of the generic, interchangeable minion, in whose work flexibility, contextual choice, and free-thinking are not merely discouraged but absolutely counterproductive. Is it any wonder that the denizens of such a mechanized realm succumb, in...
"Do we need to care about the environment?"
Leonardo DiCaprio, a fat globe-trotting baboon whose carbon footprint probably stands to yours or mine as the Earth stands to an anthill, claims that we have nine years to save the planet. John Kerry, a billionaire and fifty-year establishment pontificator who now looks like a wax figure of himself after ten minutes in a kiln, continues to assert that "We're in trouble" —...
Global Climate Hysteria / What is Progressivism?
From Champ to Chump in a Progressive Minute
Roger Federer has won more Grand Slam tennis titles than any other man in history. He has spent more weeks as the number one ranked player in the world than anyone else, including 237 consecutive weeks at one stage (that's four-and-a-half years, for the arithmetically challenged). By any standard, he merits the unqualified epithet "Champion." Or rather, he did. Today, he is just...
Global Climate Hysteria / Liberty's Labors Lost
Random Thoughts on Things People Tell Themselves
Most Americans who voted for Trump, or are excited about doing so in 2020, think the Democrats' impeachment process is a joke. Most Americans who did not vote for Trump, or are vehement about not doing so in 2020, think Trumpster objections to the methods and motives of the Democrats' impeachment process are a joke. Both factions are right in their way. The...
Global Climate Hysteria / Government vs. God
Francis the Talking Fool, aka That Crazy Pontiff
Pope Francis, apparently envious of all the youth-baiting appeal of international Marxism's prop du jour, teenage communist mouthpiece Greta Thunberg, is out there riding Greta's coattails, declaring that the Catholic Church, of which he is ostensibly still a member, is actively considering changing the catechism to include "the sin against ecology," or "ecological sin," or — my favorite phrasing — "ecocide" as part...
The Gods We Deserve
Our new gods are of the only sort that remains possible when the longing for eternity, the desperate grasp after meaning, and the lifelong pursuit of truth, have been debunked and expunged from the modern soul. We are left with ephemeral idols, cardboard cutout heroes-for-the-season, blustering attention-seekers without a substantial purpose beyond their own egomaniacal lust for popularity and affection.
Communist Canada / Global Climate Hysteria

"This is a system that is wrong"
Greta Thunberg has carried her message of hope and change — by which of course I mean mass starvation and totalitarian oppression — to her spiritual North American homeland, the New World's Sweden, Canada. While there, she served as the honorary mascot — Does this girl's father even care whether she lives or dies beyond the day he finishes cashing in on her?...
Spoiled Brat of the Year!
Teenage climate communist prop Greta Thunberg just gave a speech at the UN in which she threw a proxy temper tantrum at her parents (whom she thinly disguised as the adults of the world), spewing out her promise to hate, hate, hate them forever, and never, never, never forgive them for "stealing her childhood," "betraying her," and "failing her" — by making her...

Freedom is Inefficient
As the lower-tier Democratic presidential candidates try to distinguish themselves by out-communisting one another, Andrew Yang's contribution to the totalitarian sweepstakes is to propose that by 2050, the United States should be a private-automobile-free zone, replacing private cars with "a constant roving fleet of electric [and publicly-owned] cars." To combat the evil effects of fossil fuels, of course. Because no alternative means of...
"Do what I want," belligerent child demands
A sixteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, sits sternly, arms folded, facing members of the United States Congress, the elected representatives of the American people. Having previously submitted a decrepit, thoroughly discredited UN document (the IPCC's climate Armageddon fantasy report), the earliest iterations of which the congressmen have been familiar with since before this girl was born, she now declares, peremptorily, "I don't want...
