Because socialism has never been about helping out the working classes. It is about telling them what to do and how. It is about the elites ‘power’.

“Environmentalists are Gaia’s priests, instructing us in her proper service and casting out those who refuse to genuflect… And having proclaimed the ultimate commandment—carbon chastity—they are preparing the supporting canonical legislation that will tell you how much you can travel, what kind of light you will read by, and at what temperature you may set your bedroom thermostat.”
- Charles Krauthammer

Then:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” — C.S. Lewis

The new priests of Gaia demand that we bow to their missives, that we reduce our carbon footprints. I agree. We all must call for those who worship at this new alter to have the strength of their convictions. They must finally and completely reduce their carbon footprints post haste. Please show us the way by example, you cannot just tell us the way.

I’m waiting……

This corruption in high places has also been what caused their decline. God told moses and joshua that they would defeat the caanites not because the Israelites were so good but rather because the caananites were so bad. What were the caannites great sins? Child sacrifice and homosexuality.

When Cortez came to New Spain his exploits were chronicled by a lot people. But the tale of his oldest lieutenant Bernal Diaz was only translated into english in the 1980’s. what that book mentioned was something not told your typical history that includes tales of human sacrifice. What Diaz mention is that the aztec priests would “act up” right in front cortez and his men.

The reaction of cortez was much the same as Joshua.

Global whatever
Now we are lectured that climate change is threatening civilization and we must do this and that. Twenty years ago I remember it was the Aids epidemic that was just about to break out among the heterosexual population in the fashion it had devastated the San Francisco gay community. Thus we needed to quit envisioning the virus as largely specific to gays and IV-drug users, and instead mobilize to protect the entire population from a mass epidemic. A few voices in the wilderness who argued that the mechanisms of so-called normal heterosexual sex (while perhaps conducive in their unprotected modes to all sort of venereal diseases) were nevertheless often different from both the apparent frequency and nature of homosexual sex practices, and very different from the blood exchanges of shared-needles, were derided as either illiberal, homophobic, or unhinged

The Prime Minister [Gordon Brown] was served 24 different dishes during his first day at the summit – just hours after urging the world to reduce the “unnecessary demand” for food and calling on British families to cut back on their wasteful use of food.

He arrived on a plane chartered from Texas, America, which had to fly empty for thousands of miles to pick up the Prime Minister and his entourage.
[emphasis added]

Flying empty planes around the world to attend crisis summits. Sounds a lot like that Bali climate change summit where they didn’t have enough room to park all the private jets.

Isn’t hypocrisy on this sort of scale supposed to earn people lightning bolts and stuff?

Spinoza provides schizoanalysis an alternative not just to Hegelian philosophy of history — but to subject-object dualism in general. Spinoza was a contemporary and critic of Descartes and his view of the objective identity of thought and [by] extension contrasts sharply with Descartes view which treats thought as a property of a doubting subject rather than of concrete objects. This critique and monist alternative to Cartesian subject-object dualism represents an important contribution to modern environmentalism since Spinoza considers man a part of nature rather than its master.

It should be understood that Christianity views man to be the master of nature. And that God himself is outside of nature. God is “Nature’s God”.

Not quite. It’s all about the power to control OTHER PEOPLE’S money.
