Little Green Lies
No salty anecdotes for you this week, my friends. I have returned home from the sea to colder weather. Commercial duties are swapped for domestic ones, and the gloriously mundane comforts of brushing teeth, bedtime stories, and changing nappies.
Home is never the same as you left it. My youngest daughter, 22 months old, is at that wonderful phase of development where her vocabulary has swollen, and new words gush forth daily. She is happy and proud and assertive. Her full-bellied little toddler laugh is heaven. Her affectionate grip – tiny fingers around my scarred and scratchy skin – precious beyond measure. The definition of cuteness.
The in-laws had been over from the States in my absence, so they didn’t suffer from a lack of company. But it is always such a relief to be together. Particularly with three young kids.
Coming off the night shift means days of having to tiptoe around the house in the wee small hours of the morning, as my circadian rhythm undergoes its own Great Reset.
The signs of my absence are everywhere. Heavy objects unmoved or left abandoned in the wrong spot. Tools in the wrong place. Fake vegan garbage food taking up valuable space that could be used for meat in my fridge. I’m sorry for the sensitive types, but if I’m hungry, something has to die.
Order takes a few days to be restored. The scary dad voice has been deployed judiciously on more than one occasion. I’m a strong advocate of peaceful parenting, so I do not punish my children. However, privileges can be withheld, and the seriousness of a situation ‘highlighted’ with immediate segregation. E.g., when the four-year-old plays a little too rough with the one-year-old, it is important to make sure they feel bad. You know, just to check he isn’t actually a psychopath.
The contrast between my idyllic home life and the situation in the wider world is made clear by periodic punctuations from the dozen or so Substack letters and Twitter accounts I follow for uncensored news.
The Nord-Stream pipelines were ‘Epsteined’ last week. It seems like forever ago now. The WhatsApp group I follow with my newfound plumber friends, who are gas engineers, is discussing how much paraffin to buy for their Tilley lamps in preparation for winter power cuts. No casual matter when temperatures can reach minus -10°C regularly here. With a daily range between 6°C and 14°C, the wet and windy weather already promises stringency.
The evidence for mRNA vaccine injuries continues to pile high, as documents are released and lies discovered. Scottish infant mortality rates are the highest they’ve been in a short generation. Our ‘conservabot’ Prime Minister promises to prolong the Ukraine conflict with British taxpayer-funded arms shipments. At the same time, her immigration policy actively seeks to irreversibly alter the demographics of British society, again – at the expense of the taxpayer. Italy has its first democratically elected leader in 14 years, who is ostensibly a Nationalist and Conservative, so, therefore ‘evil’ according to our free-thinking legacy media. The leftist labour party salivates over the ring of power that will surely soon be theirs. Strikes threaten to cripple the capital, the Royal Mail, various Ports and Oil Rigs.
The tempo of psychological operations has increased to a dizzying degree. Yet, at the same time, I just think – so what?
At this point, almost everything that was classed as a conspiracy theory about Covid two years ago has been admitted to publicly. It was all obvious after the first six weeks that the whole premise was nonsense and could not be sustained. And yet, here we are. Two weeks to flatten society later, and who’d have guessed that doubling the supply of currency to pay people to stay home and dodge work for two years would result in inflation and shortages?
My concern now is not that they’re trying to install global communism by technocratic agenda-setting and that the Eco-Fascists would happily condemn us all to poverty and death to achieve it.
No. Rather, my main concern is that the arguments being made against these perpetrators are so weak.
Studious well-researched articles, important as they are, are not winning the day for the cause of liberty. Pointing out to Climate-Communists that there are economic consequences for their actions, and that Bjorn Lomborg has proven a more effective order of public spending priorities, or that their Utopian vision of scarcity-free equality is an impossible fantasy will have no effect on these people.
Their eerie mantra ‘You will own nothing and you’ll be happy (– or else)’ creaks and groans with the mileage on its clock. From Marx back through to Zoroaster and Cain, this has been the mantra of the murderous malcontent.
Social-justice is distinct from justice. When promising that the ‘Green New Deal’ (remember that?) will end ‘racial injustice’, what was AOC promising exactly? When our corrupt leaders insist on ‘public-private-partnerships’ and mega-corporations wholeheartedly support the economy destroying ESG ‘stakeholder’ policies, do they think we don’t know that this was exactly the fascist model of economics?
Donating to politicians and gaining regulatory capture has the greatest ROI of any investment. Far greater than any actual innovation in product or service. The real game here is obvious.
What is not obvious is how we’re going to fight back.
I’d like to propose a change in strategy. I think we need to change the language we use in order to win the argument. I think we need to call things what they are. We need to do exactly what the Eco-Fascists don’t want us to do, and ‘own it’.
When a vegan tells you ‘meat is murder’, say ‘Yes, it is. Tasty, tasty murder’.
When the government talks about a carbon tax, ask your MP how long it will be before they introduce a tax on breathing?
When Monsanto and company say they ‘own’ a patent on DNA because they modified one gene, ask how their satanic interpretation of copyright still applies when their organisms mutate by themselves in the real world? Are they epi-genetics deniers?
When a conservative government tells you it’s good to increase mass immigration, while public services are already crumbling, ask Liz Truss ‘what’s in it for me, and my kids’?
When the government is becoming a £150K shareholder in new build home-ownership, replacing a naturally declining population with mass immigration, restricting land use for housing, cutting public services, inflating the currency while wages stagnate and generally pulling every trick in the book to keep house prices in their property portfolio inflated to ten times the average salary, ask them ‘have you ever heard the concept conflict-of-interest, you utter swine’?
The point is, it’s time to stop being polite. These people are maniacs. They do not have ‘The Science™ ‘ on their side. They do not have economics on their side. They do not have history, philosophy or morality on their side. They never did.
That’s why it sort of upsets me when I read articles complaining that Eco-Fascism is going to be ineffective at controlling climate change, or the energy crises show it’s just ‘too much too soon’, or politely pointing out that these policies threaten ‘capitalism’.
I just tell people ‘I’m against it.’ No matter the subject now. Just to watch their brain burst. ‘Against what?’
‘The Environment. I’m against it.’
Puzzled look – silence.
‘Listen, have you ever been in the bloody environment? It’s freezing cold, dirty, everything is always trying to kill and eat everything else, and it ultimately wants me dead. Pave over it, that’s what I say.’
Factual arguments are not persuasive. Nobody cares about technical details except geeks, libertarians, and engineers.
It is time to make moral arguments. I
t is time to craft an alternative vision for the future and to lead ourselves toward it. It is particularly time to stop letting these people dictate the language we use to discuss our world, and ‘set the table’ with false categories and paradigms to begin with.
Let’s start with ‘capitalism’.
Capitalism is a Marxist term. Do you remember Marx? The adulterer who abandoned his children to die in the street, didn’t pay his staff, and lived his entire life spending other people’s money before dying in penury. His ‘scientific™ ‘ theories were disproven completely within his own lifetime as soon as they were published, but this didn’t stop his murderous ideology from being spread by feminists, and International Socialist Women’s Workers Day sparked the Russian Revolution – resulting in hundreds of millions of deaths in war and democide as these ideas spread across the globe like ideological gonorrhoea.
This is an idea so dangerous, that we need to be able to defeat it in less than one minute of discussion with our opponents, lest even the tiniest filament of it take root in our psyche.
What is capital? Money and currency, certainly. But so is your body, your health, your time, your intelligence, the tools at your disposal, your knowledge, your commitment, your friendship network and your ability to persuade. Your body, everything you do, and everything you do not do, are ultimately ‘the means of production’.
Therefore, when Communism requires the state to own the means of production, it literally means that it will take ownership of human beings and regulate their every activity.
This is the ultimate lie of the communist doctrine because in fact, every human being owns themselves. The state cannot own them because that is not what ‘ownership’ is.
Vladimir Lenin once said, ‘the goal of socialism is communism’.
We can now add to that. The goal of technocracy is luxury digital communism.
As digital currencies come in, and we are forced to accept food and energy shortages, reduced international travel, propaganda and the displacement of culture in favour of pagan ‘world X,Y,Z secular saint’s days’, we need to point out that this is indeed nothing short of the use of force. It is no good pointing out to a true believer, branch-Covidian, Davosian reptile that you’ll never solve the price calculation problem. You’re now up against narcissism, demonic possession and Stockholm syndrome. These people think that now we have computers, everything will work perfectly this time around – and the murder doesn’t matter because they’ve patented your DNA so you’re not real people anymore anyway. You’re property now, and you consented to it.
‘Stakeholder’ is now a euphemism for someone who has no ownership and no price to pay for being wrong, having a say in how you conduct your business.
Only the moral argument can counter these people. Only the irrational, defiant, God-given command to ‘let my people go’, can put the brakes on this runaway train.
Evil has learned not to brand itself so obviously anymore. The blood red flags, armbands and skulls on uniform caps required a little toning down. Evil always likes to disguise itself as virtue. The zombie spell of climate-catastrophe propaganda has been drip fed to you and your children since at least ten ‘end-of-the-world’ predictions ago. It’s going to be hard to overcome.
But I really think it is important to speak plainly. We need to avoid using left/right political terminology that is imposed upon us by people of bias and bad faith. These actions and policies are evil, regardless of which party imposes them.
In the bible, two-thirds of what Jesus speaks about is money. The morality of financial transactions is – should be – absolutely sacred because the way we conduct our transactions in life is the way we act out and project our conscience in the world. Like sex, our financial transactions, promises and accounting are a form of communication that can have permanent consequences.
Politicians are just people too. They have no money of their own. They tax you to plug holes in the black hole of their debts. They have no savings or investments. They are net-cashflow chameleons, living in freefall from day one.
They have no right to control you. They have no right to violate your property. They have no right to violate your eternal conscience. They have no right of ownership over that which they did nothing to create. And they have no right to take your money and use it to propagandise you.
Everything they do is a performative contradiction and a lie, by definition.
Yes, the last two years have been bad. And by all means, buy your canned food, your candles and your paraffin lamps. But know that the law is enforced by violence. Ultimately, when these people say ‘you will own nothing’, they are telling you that they will use the violent enforcement power of the state – as has been done many times in the past – to put a gun to your head and seize your property from you.
I hope we in the west do no go down the path that destroyed Russia in the twentieth century, and that we can argue our way to a better future. But if we don’t see that the communists have simply swapped their red banner, for a green one, we’re doomed.
