Are you an attention seeker? Are you rather blasé about globalism? Do you like getting dressed up to stand in the street and block traffic? ..Well, great news. It's the global climate strike today.
Sorry, that was a little harsh, but nevertheless it is the global climate strike today, and it's yet another example of well meaning people getting emotionally whipped up to head out onto the streets to push a wider agenda they're not aware of. I won't go on too long. I've touched upon all this before. It's always worth taking the opportunity to challenge people as to why they're so emotionally invested in these things though. Do they consider how these events and protests are funded? ..and by whom?
I always get the impression that many of the people taking part in these events just enjoy the pageantry of it all. I heard someone earlier suggest that the modern climate movement has manifested to fill the void left by religion. It's quite a fitting comparison. What with the "end of world" prophecies, the idea of "carbon footprint" sin and self-flagellation ..and, of course, the way it can be mobilised by the powerful to herd the masses.
