...dismantling immense oil and retail monopolies and replacing them with self-sufficient, high-tech local communities seems to be furthest from the minds of those championing urgent activism in response to climate change. Instead, they propose even more power be put into the hands of governments, banks, and corporations to create "policy." The "policy" to no one's surprise, leaves more power centralized in the hands of the very special interests that are truly and quantifiably destroying the environment.

Hiding behind science is nothing new. Darwinists hid behind it to prop up their racism, which in fact inspired the Nazis to hide behind it to scientifically prove they were the "master race." The Nazis, in fact, loved science, and used it with horrible precision. As mentioned before, big-tobacco used "science" to prove their products were perfectly "safe." What precisely has convinced people today that such charades are not still playing out, more refined now than ever?

A curious thing happened today. To quiet protests over food, president Petro Poroshenko ordered the minister of the food reserve to fill the shelves of stores with flour, sugar, canned meat, and buckwheat from the reserve.

Well guess what? There was no food in the reserve. It has either been looted (like the vanishing gold), or it was fed to the army.

...speaking of paid prioritization, did you hear the one about the TV station that was granted an exemption to FCC rules after its executive contributed thousands of dollars to the campaign of a prominent Democrat?

Paid prioritization brought to you by the agency now in charge of getting rid of paid prioritization. By the way, ever hear of lobbyists? Our entire system of government is run by politicians who legislatively prioritize according to who is giving them money.

Yes, we will add one big and corrupt entity on top of another big entity in hopes that corruption will be minimized. Now there’s a plan that makes a lot of sense to anyone who’s drunk, concussed, and mentally insane.

Why is this so difficult to understand? When forced to choose between big corporations and big government, you should never choose big government because whatever you don’t like about the big corporations WILL ALSO BE PRESENT IN BIG GOVERNMENT, ONLY WORSE, AND WITH GUNS.

And thus we have the rise of iMcCarthyism: a horde of unemployed, nebbish dilettantes in the throes of religious hysteria. The detritus of the world economy, not even fit to scrub dishes at Applebee’s. Frauds who are more upset by satirical articles about rape than by women getting violently gang raped. Every Tumblrette Tweeting about the outrage of the day is nothing more than Carrie Nation with a lip ring.

If these people weren’t so ineffectual in real life, they might actually be dangerous. In his 1859 work On Liberty, John Stuart Mill warned that decentralized harassment of the kind that social justice warriors engage in would destroy freedom of speech. Fortunately for us, the pinkshirts of social media can’t even organize a convention without getting scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars.

Stuck in Britain, he complained of a “campaign of harassment” by MI5, who wanted to condition his travel abroad on him becoming their informant. Aid group CAGE, which was familiar with his situation at the time, called him an “extremely gentle” man who wanted to go back to Kuwait, where he had a fiancee.
