Greens and morality

As mentioned on EU Referendum today, the Daily Mail describes Caroline Lucas saying air travellers are killing people just as surely as someone stabbing a person in the street. Ridiculous of course unless you believe in global warming, and extreme even if you do - but "extreme" only in the language used.

Because what Lucas says is perfectly logical within the theory of global warming and other internationalist, one-world movements; it is how the left destroy morality: cultivate an exaggerated sense of global responsibility and blunt the appetite for fighting injustice close to home.

Why care about 200,000 aborted foetuses in this country when there are starving children in Africa? why care that working people in the UK can't afford to set up a family when there is much worse poverty in the third world? Instead we should have a global perspective. Better to campaign against human rights violations abroad while allowing the state in Britain to abnegate its responsibility to protect its own people. These grandiose moral agendas allow people to pontificate on what they cannot change or can't properly understand from a distance, while allowing people to be as callous as they like about social justice in their own country.

The Green party are really part of the life-hating cultural revolution, an offshoot of the extreme left. People who vote for the Greens do so as a protest vote against cynical politics, or to help the environment: but also (instead) they get state control, pro-EU dogma and dedicated liberal-left trendiness; plus fake environmentalism like Global warming.

See their website to find a smattering of policies an enviromentalist might half-agree with, plus a lot of cultural Marxism - i.e., liberal and progressive social policies. Give me Robin Page any day.
