Naked Climate Change Protesters Gatecrash Commons Brexit Debate
1st April 2019
Ever since the sixties, these twits inflict themselves on public gatherings. Nominally about ‘raising consciousness’, to the extent that it has any effect on public opinion the effect is negative; people who agree with them get a warm fuzzy, and the people whom they are theoretically trying to win over are merely confirmed in their initial impression that these are rude children. But it’s mostly about people who have no chance of any serious impact doing something symbolic that will make them feel good about themselves – ‘virtue signaling’ is the most polite term for it. The whole basis for the activity is the firm conviction ‘We can do what we want to you, but you can’t do shit to us’. The viewpoint of children.
In totalitarian societies, of course, such people disappear into large vans and spend the rest of their days in Labor Camps of Strict Regime. There’s a lot to be said for it.
