Environmentalism is a Joke
People have been talking about pollution for over 50 years, and the problem has only gotten worse, despite all the new laws, the conferences, awareness, activism, and everything else. Environmentalism is directly tied with oil & US dollars. Anyone can see pollution is only getting worse, it’s only the propaganda machine that makes you think it’s all cool. Some people say we can solve the problem, and some deny there is even a problem at all. The whole movement is a distraction & kicking the can down the road. It can’t and won’t ever solve the problem, instead it just delays and shifts things around. It’s great for both conservatives and liberals:
- Conservatives can point to efforts, and corporations can still avoid the pitchforks by pretending they’re doing their part. They now flaunt their green cred. All the big corporations do it.
- Liberals pretend like all this stuff is good and that we should keep fighting for change. In reality, nothing has gotten better, it’s just shifting pollution around and delayed the inevitable. Nothing is actually change. Liberals make careers out of environmentalism, often through book deals, speaking engagements, and other hustling crap. They know nothing is changing, but they can cash in on scamming people through activism or whatever else.
The environmental movement had its start like this:
- 1970, Nixon created EPA in response to hippies in the 60s and stuff like the book ‘Silent Spring’ where the public was worried more about pollution. The EPA was a political move.
- 1970, wages stopped tracking productivity. Prior to this, in the US someone could get a good job and raise a family, no problem.
- 1971, dollars are no longer converted to gold, the US dollar is fiat currency
- 1972 Limits to Growth came out with graphs of various scenarios looking at population, death rate, pollution and other things. They were trying to show what could happen in the future with our system. They do show collapse possibilities in the 21st century, but there were no timelines.
- 1973 oil crisis: we’d been importing oil, the price went up, and this led to a panic of wanting to avoiding issues around oil. In the 1950s and 1960s oil production was high in the US and things were good, and the 1973 oil price shock was a wake-up call
