“The problem with pushing the fake boogieman of climate change as a means to encourage globalization is that their are some very real enviro-fanatics “
The very reason these very real enviro-fanatics exist is because of the pushing. If, instead, they “pushed” the idea that the moon was cheese and we needed to develop a large space rat to save the Earth from getting destroyed when the cheese rotted, then it would produce some very real moon-cheese fanatics. These people are fanatics, not because what they are fanatical about is real. They are fanatics because they are wired to be fanatics. They are the very real danger of focusing in on anything global and destructive. A certain number of people will glom onto it and focus on it to the exclusion of everything else. Ecological terrorists, animal rights protesters and Vegan “activists” are all in the same nut-ball category.
The EU is also mad at Macron, who was one of their big heroes until just recently. However, his “concessions” have made France miss the EU budgetary goals and increased its debt outside of EU limits, since France was supposed to be starting an “austerity” program. Bear in mind, btw, that the Yellow Vests are not exactly freedom fighters and actually want more socialist goodies - although their complaint against the enviro tax and the fact that Macron and his government buddies don’t seem to be subjected to any “austerity” at all is justified.
But it simply shows you the unsustainability of any socialist system, country wide or region wide (EU).
