GRETA--Aging gracefully
Posted on 03/05/2022 5:01:02 PM PST by MarvinStinson
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg’s group Fridays for Future launched a series of rallies to protest Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The group said it plans to hold events in over 40 cities around the world.
Fridays for Future specializes in “youth strikes” that involve students marching out of their classrooms to demand action on their climate change agenda. The same technique will evidently be used for the protests against Russia.
“We are running a demonstration at 12 p.m., in the middle of the day, because the lives of the Ukrainian people have been stopped, not by their choice. We also want to stop our lives in solidarity with them,” a Fridays for Future activist student in Warsaw told Yahoo News.
“Ukrainian voices, refugee voices, will be leading that demonstration, and we as Fridays will be just the host, providing logistics to make it happen,” the student said, referring to the large number of Ukrainian refugees who have crossed the border into Poland during the Russian attack.
AD Fridays for Future rallies have been planned in Germany, Portugal, Italy, and Nigeria, and the group says it might change the global climate protest they planned for March 25 to focus on the Russian invasion instead.
Thunberg and her group are studiously oblivious to the effect climate activism has had on regional politics by throttling European energy production and boosting the value of Russia’s oil. At best, comments from the group to Yahoo and other outlets indicated they think Russia’s economic leverage supports their cause because the world can only neutralize it by completely abandoning fossil fuels.
The UK Independent on Friday quoted economists who echoed that line, unironically saluting Thunberg as “more effective than any Western sanctions” because climate activists can supposedly bankrupt the oil-rich Russian tyranny by re-primitivizing the Western world.
