Greta Thunberg Is Cheered for a Ridiculous Reason and It Points to Something Far More Dangerous


Bonchie reporting for RedState

If you haven’t heard the name Greta Thunberg in a while, consider yourself lucky. The Swedish teen burst onto the global scene during the Donald Trump era as a rabid proponent of “action” on climate change.  Unfortunately, she’s still doing her thing stoking fear and demanding nations bend to her childish demands.

Recently she gave a speech at some international forum “Youth4Climate,” and while what she says is comical in many ways, it points to something far more dangerous, in my view. Before I get into that, though, here’s Thunberg being cheered for repeating the phrase “blah blah blah” over and over.

Behold, the intellectual thought leaders wanting to take away your right to drive a vehicle and heat your house.

Now, the easy answer to this is to snark “who cares?” and move on to whatever other, seemingly more important issues dominate the day. And to be honest, that was my first reaction. Why should I care what some teenager with mental health issues, largely driven by her parents’ own hysteria, has to say?

But I think what we are seeing in that clip is more impactful than it may otherwise appear. Notice what she’s actually saying past just the repeated use of the term “blah.” There’s a very militant nature to her discounting the elected leadership of nations around the globe — without even a second thought about the needs of people in those countries. The crowd then begins to cheer in cult-like fashion for “climate justice.”

What’s that mean? It’s never really defined, and that’s the scary part. These people know they want power over you, on a global scale no less, but they won’t even tell you what they actually want to do with it. Is Thunberg seeking to stop the use of fossil fuels in Africa, for example, where millions of already disadvantaged people would die? She’ll never answer that question directly, because it conflicts with woke ideology, and she’ll also ignore China’s world-leading emissions output, but she knows that you shouldn’t have that pick-up truck and that the world is going to end if she doesn’t get to take it from you.

If it were just Thunberg ranting wildly, it’d be one thing, but her views are pervasive and only becoming more widespread among international leaders and bodies. There is no care at all for individual rights in their platform. Everything revolves around the hysterical notion that humans cannot adapt to any climate change, natural or otherwise, and that if we don’t essentially return to the Stone Age now, everyone will die.

Further, social media companies police speech on “climate change” more than any other topic. There’s a reason you don’t see it mentioned much on right-wing sites these days. There is a conglomeration of forces coming together to make Thunberg’s fantasy a reality. People better wake up to the fact, because the far-left thrives on “crisis,” and they believe they’ve found one that will deliver all their wildest, communist dreams. Tyranny on a global scale doesn’t cease to be tyranny.
