Climate Change is the new Russia, Russia, Russia. Once upon a time ( excepting for a few diehards who haven’t kept up), Russia could be blamed for everything from US politicians making corrupt decisions to a state’s inability to count ballots. If something sucked, it was Russia’s fault. If something got hacked, it was Russia’s fault. If governments had to clamp down on freedom of speech, it was…you guessed it…Russia’s fault. Well, Russia’s or Trump’s. Same difference. The narrative has changed a bit, though Russia’s still to blame for being provoked and even blowing up their own pipelines.
Today, the enemy that must be fought at all costs is climate change, though we went through a nice long period of Covid, Covid, Covid as well. Apparently, climate change is the reason that young, healthy people are suddenly dropping dead (and not the coincidence with rushed ‘medications’ they were coerced into taking). Climate change is the reason that cash is dirty, costly and must be replaced. Climate change is the reason that the supply chain is broken. Climate change is the reason why everything costs more and is harder to get. Climate change is why we all need digital ID’s. Climate change is the reason censorship is absolutely necessary. Well, climate change’s or Trump’s…or Russia’s or Covid’s. Same difference. And I’m pretty sure climate change is now even the reason why you can’t sleep at night (and not your anxiety over the state of the world).
You want to know what I think the problem is? I think it is grown-ass people behaving with the mentality of toddlers wanting what they want when they want it, fuck the consequences, then pointing fingers saying, “He hit me!” or “He hit me first!” I think it is the immaturity of our species at root, our traumatized psychologies, that make it so impossible for all but a very rare few (looking at you, Alberta!) who are willing to admit mistakes and take responsibility for them, let alone apologize or make retributions. It’s the infantile that dig their heels in and that decide what the new crisis will be, going headlong towards destruction in what appears more and more to be an intentional direction. It’s Ego, Ego, Ego!
