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"

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

The "whole capitalist system" produces larger food surpluses than any other in history

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

What's driving Thunberg's war on "the whole capitalist system" is nihilism, the hatred of Western civilization, and the desire to destroy it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
