WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING??
From a climate change campaigner to presenting a new far-Left political agenda against "racist" capitalism - meet the new Greta Thunberg.
The 19-year-old Swedish activist has announced that as well as tackling her usual area of climate action and awareness-spreading, she has now thrown her weight behind defeating the West's "oppressive" capitalist system.
Ah, yes, the Western capitalist system that launched the industrial revolution, discovered disease-resistant crops and medicine, ended chattel slavery, and established human rights around the planet... allowing billions of people to live long lives who would have otherwise died in infancy or been starved, enslaved, or killed (as has been the norm for 99% of human history).
That racist capitalist system.
Calling for a "system-wide transformation" at her book launch in London, she claimed that the world's current "normal" - dictated by the people in power - has caused the climate breakdown.
She said: "We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal' was already a crisis. What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.
"It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order."
Ah yes, the colonialist, imperialist, oppressive global North.
As everyone knows, white people invented empire, colonization, slavery, and injustice. No one outside of Europe ever engaged in such nefarious schemes before those evil Caucasians came around!
But history doesn't matter to Greta. She's on a mission: Create a new brand that will allow her to get rich complaining about oppression.
Cuz that's never been tried before! 🤣
Expressing views that seemed more radical than in the past, she added that the climate crisis "has its roots in racist, oppressive extractivism that is exploiting both people and the planet to maximise short-term profits for a few".
If this were true, then we'd see people the world over living worse lives than they did 300 years ago before Western civilization truly began its expansion worldwide.
Were there evil men in places like England that exploited the masses for their gain? You bet!
But what about the many more good men and women who brought flourishing the world over through the advancement of technologies, ideas, and moral systems?
My goodness, the hubris on that Greta!
When asked by Ms Ahmed whether she thought it was as simple as making laws that outlaw things, she responded: "There are many [things we can do], but while we do these things that we can do within our current system, we have to realise that we need a system-wide transformation.
"We need to change everything because right now our current system is on a collision course with the future of humanity and the future of our civilization".
- Rousseau: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Marx: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Lenin: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Hitler: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Stalin: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Mao: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Pol Pot: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Castro: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Chavez: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
- Kim Il-sung: "We need a system-wide transformation!"
Here's what "system-wide transformation" looked like in each of those cases:
[Warning: Graphic]
We're not doing that again, Greta. Never again.
