The Global Green Meltdown

5 Comments

…gains momentum. Some thoughts on our justified loss of faith in technocrats, from Walter Russell Mead. One point I would add is that much of the green movement was and is driven by the watermelon socialists, who leaped on to it with the collapse of the Soviet Union and (temporary, unfortunately) corresponding collapse in the credibility of socialism. I’d like to think that the current mess, including the collapse of Eurosocialism, will be the final stake through its heart, but I’m afraid that we’ll have to wage this ideological battle over and over, because every generation or two, we forget what a disaster it is everywhere it’s tried, and the basic tenets are a siren’s song to human nature.

  1. I’m afraid that we’ll have to wage this ideological battle over and over…

    Sadly, I believe what you say is all too true. Unfortunately, it seems man’s need to control others for their own good is indeed an irresistible siren song.

  2. Whatever. I’m a nerd with the same “I can’t believe they let those idiots run for office” attitude as the rest us. The problem with these green assholes is that they are simply being as stupid as regular politicians. If you ever get the opportunity to ask a green-tard a question, ask him when the world is going to end. Get an answer out of him and ask for a reference. There isn’t one available. They’re demanding we sacrifice our way of life to save the planet now now now and they can’t even tell us how long we’ve got.

    They’ll tell you we have 10 years until the End. These retarted watermelons have been saying that for the last 20 years!

    Only 20? I could’ve sworn they were saying it more than 40 years ago.

    The story of Chicken Little dates to antiquity:

    The origin of the story is usually associated with many of the Aesop’s Fables, The basic motif and many of the elements of the tale can also be found within the Daddabha Jataka (J 322). The Jatakas comprise a large body of folklore dating from around Gautama Buddha’s time (6th century BC) to the third century AD. However, this ancient version features a hare as the central character rather than a chicken, and the wise protagonist is a lion (the Bodhisattva or future Buddha).[1]
