Long time...yes I'm still alive and still travelling too much.
Anyhoo... found a great source (of ridicule) today: Green European Journal. Look at these nefarious, heart-stopping, spine-chilling quotes:
Orbán: "it is the mindset of Western elites that prevents us from even being able to identify the most important challenge we face: the question of demography. Instead of this, politics is preoccupied with how to enforce carbon quotas in the economy and gender quotas in society". Evil personified, clearly!
Meloni: "For decades, the dominant culture said that having a child was likely to be incompatible with many other choices; that having a child compromised your freedom, your career, your dreams and in some cases even your beauty…". Such depravity is hard to fathom.
German AfD party: "The federal government is fighting so-called climate change with billions. Let’s instead fight the demographic catastrophe with investments in children and families." Oh the horror!
Farage: "of course we need higher birth rates but we’re not going to get higher birth rates in this country until we can get some sense of optimism". What heinous witchcraft is this?!
Another series of quotes they also repeat as if they are a bad thing, such as "by scaring the youth into mental imbalance a part of adolescence and trust in society is destroyed... I feel bad for them, since they are having a part of their lives destroyed" and "We need to take children and the youth's psychological health seriously, and all the fear-mongering they are hearing may put them on benefits while still young".
To any sane person both these things are patently true but to the GEJ 'children are framed as vulnerable and in need of protection from an environmentalist elite and biased media that are only pushing one side of the debate'. Well, yes, they are! Have you seen the mental health and suicide stats FFS?
Of course, as you'd expect, they end with the obvious:
"These regimes declared themselves as representing the 'youth of the nation'. Benito Mussolini’s government, for example, promised to 'make way for youth', while Adolf Hitler famously declared that 'whoever has the youth has the future".
Amusingly the article's summary could be summarised as 'make way for youth' LOL. The complete irony with which they finish is beyond parody: "Our educational systems must equip the youth with the tools for the sort of critical thinking that today’s polarised politics requires" [facepalm]...
Why the fuck do you think we're in the mess we're in you dickwads?
