There is no argument or idea so absurd that it won’t garner substantial support, especially if the argument or idea involves a new regulation, program, tax, or other expansion of the government. From TL Davis at tldavis.substack.com:

The Western societies should not be worrying about politics, they should be worrying about survival. The globalist elite are not pushing their policies on Middle-Eastern, African or Asian societies, they are focused on the West. The reason, I believe, is that the West has allowed their people to have a say in government and if there is to be a world government, that has to be abolished.
It is much easier to command people than convince them, especially in a world where the truth can be so easily researched as it can now. The globalist/communists have seized upon the idea of climate change for that very purpose. It claims as its biggest threat, a tiny bit of the atmosphere that is colorless and odorless and have conflated that as the end of all mankind if left to grow. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is derived, to some degree, from human activity, though a miniscule amount of it. Most of the CO2 is produced by natural emissions, volcanoes introduce more CO2 into the atmosphere than all of human activity ever has. One eruption is greater than all human activity. Yet, it’s the human contribution that must be eliminated, not volcanoes.
When you look into it, it isn’t because human activity can destroy the planet, but it does coincide quite nicely with the goals of the globalist/communists to maximize control over human activity. The absurdity of their arguments, I thought, would keep them from achieving their goals, but I was mistaken. The absurdity of their arguments only meant they had to enlist the governments and international organizations who rule over the people and buying off politicians and scientists is much easier to accomplish than convincing people that electric vehicles, powered by coal-fired power plants, somehow achieve zero emissions.
People’s Cube has the great World of Next Tuesday where one more law or regulation ushers in the golden workers utopia. (h/t-OA)
Maybe man will one day get over statist utopianism and not elect the dregs at the bottom of the barrel?
I kid, only psychopaths want to rule over others and treat them like slaves in a galley ship and they are attracted to politics like flies to poop emoji.
