You Will Own Nothing: Environmentalists Are Now Coming for YOUR FRIDGE

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.

Revelation . . . . have a listen. Won’t take that long to listen to the whole book.

[Fuzz]

Already read it a few times.

Thanks.

Nancy has two premium Sub-Zero refrigerators. She should give at least one of them them to the poor. It's in the Bible. (Luke 3:11)

LOL

[gunnut]

You forgot the lightbulbs.

[Gene Eric]

What to do about those that are trying to starve your family?

[Zack Attack]

“You really don’t need to have a tomato in December,” Twilley says on this week’s Zero podcast. “Just don’t do it.”

One of those quotes that will become a meme. LMAO

[bondjamesbond]

The four steps:

1. It is it not happening. You are a crazy conspiracy theorist for thinking it is happening.

2. It is happening in very limited circumstances, and you are a racist for caring.

3. It is happening everywhere, and it is probably a good thing.

4. It is universal and mandatory, and you are evil for opposing it.

Another step closer to the next revolution.

First they came for the Air conditioners.

—
First they came for tobacco;

Next they came for air conditioners;

Then they came for wood burning stoves;

Then they came for small engine equipment;

Then they came for fireplaces and furnaces;

Then they came for toilets;

Then they came for gas powered cars;

Then they came for stoves;

Now they want your refrigerator ...

[PIF]

Leftist think: The fridge didn’t exist when they signed the constitution, so they should be illegal

—
Muslim think: Stuff that did not exist in Mohammad’s time will be destroyed and the owners killed.

[PIF]

Most will live like some poor people did in Turkey in the 60s - they will live under a plank across a ditch.

[Red Badger]

One of the rare few things that actually does something good.........

[cnsmom]

Don’t forget they want your God and doctor too.

It would get much worse when the time of Tribulation really begins. Now is the the acceptable time to accept Jesus Christ as Savior & Lord & avoid the Tribulation times. Not saying that this time right now isn’t somewhat of a tribulation with some of the crazy laws the government wants to put on us.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Oh please - they have been coming for your fridge.

They have banned R134a. The phase out is in effect.

In Europe, refrigerators were switched from R134a (nonflammable) to isobutane (very flammable) over ten years ago.

The big towering inferno disaster in London - initiated by a refrigerator.

How many will die because your refrigerator now uses a flammable refrigerant?

[EC Washington]

He has two of the biggest propane tanks he could buy - plus a lot of Propane Cylinders. He is prepared for the worst

[Red Badger]

Good man! It don’t spoil!.............

[GenXPolymath]

“We already got new age flammable coolant in fridges sold now”

Not as dangerous as you think. Europe has used R600 and R299 for more than a decade. Sams club sells deep freezers that use R600 I own two of them they just quietly hum away in the garage. They have hermetically sealed compressors ,condenser and evaporators unless you tool bolt cutters to the coils they can’t leak.even if they did leak the volume in them is like 500 grams worth not enough to form a flammable mixture of 2% to 8% in a normal sized room. I had a K5 blazer that used R12 and when it was banned I filled it with butane and propane till it hit the low side pressure range in the green on the gauge pack took less than a red camping cans worth that’s 12oz. It worked flawlessly for years it would frost the vents it got so cold. It’s FUD that hydrocarbons are not great refrigerants and safe to use. DuPont wants to sell you $80 a 8oz can of 1234yf not a $2 can of isobutane-propane mix

[GenXPolymath]

You can pick up R134a at Wal-Mart for $4 a can by the pallet. I have probably 20 cans of it from when it was $2 a can. Three of my fridges and the F250 and Expedition use R134a. New cars use 1234yf that’s $80 a can my Tesla and Volvo use that DuPont crap. I got a smoking deal on black.Friday three cans and a gauge pack for $90 AutoZone has the same Honeywell cans for $80 EACH and you have to buy the new gauge pack R134a nipples and gauges are made different so they are incompatible on purpose.
