This is a shocker. Greta Thunberg, the climate change activist who’s been given way more attention than anyone deserves, has a new book to sell, and while promoting it came out and admitted that the entire oppressive capitalist system has to go. The Telegraph reports:
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.”
Ms Thunberg added: “If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting.”
She’s 19 now, so in our opinion, everyone is free to pick on her since she’s not a kid anymore.

The climate grift: fake alarmism while conducting massive wealth transfers and consolidating power.

Greta Thunberg used to say her goal was to protect the planet from climate change but she now admits it's to overthrow "the whole capitalist system," which she says is responsible for "imperialism, oppression, genocide.. racist, oppressive extractionism"https://t.co/MwzC3IRDn0

In fact, the "whole capitalist system" has allowed for average life expectancy of humans to rise from 30 to 70. pic.twitter.com/RqzmfttuK9

The "whole capitalist system" has resulted in declining emissions thanks to the transition from coal to natural gas, and to less deforestation for agriculture. This is proof that Greta hates capitalism for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with climate change. pic.twitter.com/jER4UoLMO0

Thanks to Greta's war on natural gas, this year will be a record year for coal, globally, Europeans are burning garbage and wood to stay warm, and governments are nationalizing failing electricity consumption. https://t.co/oQOVtZ5UDq

In other words, the "whole capitalist system" is responsible for declining greenhouse gas emissions while moving away from the "whole capitalist system" through the "stranding" of oil & gas, and the nationalization of energy industries is resulting in higher emissions.

Total deaths from & costs of natural disasters are going down. That means fewer extreme weather events count as "natural disasters." Why? Because of rising human development and resilience to extreme weather thanks to "the whole capitalist system." pic.twitter.com/2y536hPbdJ

We are producing significantly more food on less land which means there is more of the earth available for nature conservation & endangered species. The number of protected areas has increased 25x since 1962. Why? Because of rising productivity from "the whole capitalist" system. pic.twitter.com/TW3YucOJ6I

As such, it's clear Greta doesn't care at all about climate change or the environment. If she did, she wouldn't be seeking to overthrow "the whole capitalist system," she'd be seeking its expansion to places under the oppressive yoke of feudalism.

Nothing has done more to liberate children, women, racial minorities, sexual minorities, and other oppressed groups than "the whole capitalist system." It was "the whole capitalist system" that put an end to feudalism and slavery and allowed for the prosperity Thunberg disdains.

Few things are as devastating for poor & oppressed people than a scarcity of energy & food, which is precisely what Malthusian elites like Thunberg want. She urged nations to panic. They did. The result is the worse food & energy crisis in a half-century.https://t.co/jwQqne55Sq

What's driving Thunberg's war on "the whole capitalist system" is nihilism, the hatred of Western civilization, and the desire to destroy it.https://t.co/fDXslgUgwz

What Thunberg is advocating is a Great Reset. That's why she said she doesn't want civilization to go “back to normal." The result is havoc around the world.https://t.co/VBtqGcf3DY

The calls to destroy "the whole capitalist system" are coming from the richest, most coddled, and most entitled people in the system. They project their status anxiety onto the world and demand the power to wreck it.https://t.co/dzu8km9t8C

The selection of a child by global elites to represent their war on civilization is deeply revealing. The world is suffering energy and food shortages because of an on-going temper tantrum by the most entitled and spoiled people on the planet.https://t.co/gnZ9BhNhxg

The end of Woke fanaticism is coming. We are building a pro-human movement that embraces "the whole capitalist system," which has proven to be the best way to lift people out of poverty, protect ourselves from natural disasters, and reduce pollution.https://t.co/Ilm6UkBDjE

Soon, we'll look back at the energy crisis ravaging the world, and Greta's admission that her real goal is to destroy "the whole capitalist system," as the Waterloo of the climate nihilists.
They're just a bunch of spoiled children.
Good riddance

When I have questions about today's political climate, I always turn to Greta.

"the whole capitalist system," that allows her to have a worldwide platform, buy clothing, have food, and fly to conferences and interviews? Huh.

And man.. I have to tell you. I always listen to a child when making decisions that affect all humans. I mean. Their life experience is worth a lot! When I was in my teens, I certainly knew it all.

And now we have a president who’s proud to say he’s signed off on “over a billion 200, a trillion, 200 billion dollars” to battle climate change and the economy is in the tank, we’re flying in baby formula from Sweden, and inflation is at a 40-year high. And he’s not done.
