You Will Own Nothing: Environmentalists Are Now Coming for YOUR FRIDGE
twitchy ^ | August 25, 2024 | Amy Curtis

Posted on 08/25/2024 6:20:43 PM PDT by Red Badger

The entire goal of the environmental Left is full-on communism. They wrap their ideology in a green cloak, but inside it's Soviet red. And like all good commies, they want a society with two classes: the elites (themselves) and the rest of us. For the elites, life is great. They have money, and food, and nice houses. They travel and enjoy comforts like air conditioning, gas stoves, and refrigeration.

For the rest of us? Sweat it out in a dumpy, rundown state-owned apartment while you eat bugs and live in abject poverty.

They've said their goal is to reduce our standard of living. To take away the things that make contemporary life easy and convenient. In the name of saving the planet, naturally.

When they tell us who they are, believe them:

More from Bloomberg:

The “cold chain” that delivers our food is inconspicuous but vast. The US alone boasts around 5.5 million cubic feet of refrigerated space (that’s 150 Empire State Buildings!) and three-quarters of the average American plate has spent some time in a commercial fridge. Now, the developing world is catching up.

Nicola Twilley, author of Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves, says this expansion of the world’s “distributed winter” has wide-ranging climate implications.

The solution is always more government, more communism, and less freedom and quality of life for you.

Twilley doesn't get to be the arbiter of what we do and don't need. And neither do the rest of the environmentalist Left.

Yep. Let's reopen the institutions.

In her view, the deaths of 38.4 million Americans (422 million globally) would probably be a good thing for the planet.

They never, ever think out their policies to the logical conclusion.

But we are the carbon they ultimately want to reduce.

Famine is a feature, not a bug, of this policy.

Her plan is quite the opposite: everyone else sacrifices so she can keep her Frigidaire.

Just don't refrigerate it first.

It sure isn't.

They don't care if you get sick and die.

Certainly is evergreen.

And they're always, miraculously, the arbiters of what is and isn't morally justified.

Funny, that.

They're going to keep pushing this until it is implemented. That's the scary part.

And, once again, if a few small exporting nations collapse and their citizens die, they're okay with this.

This is how it always play out.

This isn't happening. It's a Right-wing conspiracy. It's happening, but only as a reasonable measure. It's happening, and it's a good thing. We're at Step One, and on our way to Step Two.

This made us chuckle.

Undoubtedly.

Then again, if Harris-Walz pass price controls, there won't be food to refrigerate.

I learned from Star-Trek that we are carbon-based life forms.
There was one episode where they came across a reptilian alien race that wanted to save earth by ridding it of its carbon-based li...I mean carbon-footprint

Arithmetic. The volume of the Empire State Building may be roughly approximated as a 200 by 150 by 1200 foot solid. That is 36 million cubic feet. Multiplying by 150 we get about 5.4 billion cubic feet of storage. That sounds more like the USA capacity. The 5.5 million figure might fit a country like Rwanda or Haiti.

"No refrigeration means drugs like insulin go bad. No insulin means diabetics die."

Are there still antibiotics that have to be refrigerated? They had them when my kids were small in the late 60's and 70's. And didn't Covid jabs have to be refrigerated, and I believe that some still do.

#9: "We already got new age flammable coolant in fridges sold now."

Ding Ding Ding! We got a winner!

I was shocked when my new fridge was delivered an there were all these warning stickers on the back
of my fridge! They are forcing us to put ticking time bombs in our houses. These ECO Refrigerators
fueled the deadly Grenfell Tower Fire in London which killed 72 people:

Why... it’s almost like the depopulation globalist ghouls are doing these things deliberately.

This is nothing more than a tribulation prep. Things will be so bad that people will be glad to live in a shack.

While I enjoy having a refrigerator for the convenience, I can go without in case of a collapse of society or the economy.

Some food items are shelf stable and others can be stored in root cellars or preserved by fermentation, salting, dehydration or canning.

I would think even the Dems can feel the anger that someone is telling them what kind of stove to buy, what kind of refrigerator they can have, which type of car EV or gas is allowed, they might not be allowed to live in their own house and eat the foods they prefer.

If not then we’re finished. It is always much harder to physically fight your way out of tyranny than to vote yourself into it.

We’d better get ads on TV and online about the way of life under Communism.

The only good thing about communism is they always kill their ‘useful idiots’ first. All those ‘true believers’ on liberal campuses and in liberal newsrooms will be gone before the rest of us starve to death. It won’t be a great comfort but it’ll help.

No, the evil ones are putting everything into place in prep for the anti-Christ. They probably don’t have a clue that they are lining things up with the Word. Satan is in control of their lives. We need to put on the Whole Armor of God as described in Ephesians 6:10-18.

So satan is control and god is just sitting back letting it happen?

That’s the kind of leadership we all need.

Right, but I think the article indicates they don’t want to refrigerate items as they are shipped.

People who protest in commie hellholes have a way of 'disappearing'... remember Tiananmen Square? Some were murdered - others disappeared - forever. Ask Kamala's VP about the new updated cleaned-up version... Even dems will learn to control their 'feelings' about the stoves they wish they could have.

They are probably using propane as a refrigerant now. Nice…
