  • In this clip from the ‪@winston_marshall‬ Show we're diving into a critical issue that's been gaining traction among populist parties across Europe-green policies and environmentalism. We're seeing Green parties struggle in the European parliamentary elections, and it's no surprise why. Policies like Germany's nuclear plant closures and the UK's net zero initiatives are hitting working people hard, driving up energy costs and leaving many disillusioned. This video explores why these policies, celebrated by elites, are causing a political backlash and fuelling the rise of populism. Stay tuned to understand the real impact of climate policies on ordinary voters and how it's shaping the political landscape.

      folks, it's normal people that will bear the costs of climate change, it's normal people that do bear the cost of air pollution in city centres. elite hypocrisy is disgusting but normal people will pay the costs now or later. remember its also elites that own and run oil companies. it was those companies that first realised climate change was a problem and those companies that spent billions pretending that it's not. you can moan on the internet about hypocrisy or you can vote for sensible policies that will help future generations of normal people

      Some years ago the democracy was respected by journalists and big media. If a party hears to the voice of the voters this was a great plus during elections.
      Now you frame the parties as "populist".
      You should never underestimate the intelligence of the viewers....

    • @yonidellarocha9714
      @yonidellarocha9714 2 місяці тому

      It is one of the characteristics of old empires to squander the money or invested wealth accumulated by several previous generations. They usually continue to have a high standard of living (that became higher in the first place as the productivity was becoming higher), while their productivity decreases and is replaced by imports. This coincides with the import of a new lower class that can live beneath the means of the original empire's population and can sustain higher birthrates.
      If you take Rome for example, their conquest and expansion begins 300 years before they turn into an empire, when they were a local productive power, but by the time that the empire is founded, romans were already a minority in their own city and relied on imports for some things like grain, having other ethnicities such as the italian gauls and the greeks mantain the power structure. As the centuries went by, the lower classes became more germanic, carthaginian and middle eastern and adopted the counterculture and opposite religion to the romans and their allies, with christianity taking over in 391ad, when they burned the libraries and tore down the statues. By that point, only the power structure remained, but the ethnic romans had been gone for 400 years already, and their gaulish and greek successors for 100 years.
      So, expansion phase was from 300bc to around the year 0, by that point Rome has no longer many romans, but most everybody still keeps the culture going, then stability phase is from around the year 0 to 250-300ad, when the crisis of the third century becomes evidence of an underlying problem, then decadence period, from 300 to 391/410/476, take your pick, this period is characterised by a strong opposition to roman culture and eventual revolution by the christians.
      For britain, it seems that you are around the beginning of the "formal" or "political" empire; since all the conquest was done the last 350 years and now you are having more political corruption and population problems. Maybe this time its the poles and ex-yugoslavians the ones to keep british culture going for another century, but it seems that the timeframe is reduced and that you maybe have another 30 years before the other religion turns against the culture.

    "IPCC AR6 concluded: There is low confidence in the emergence of drought frequency in observations, for any type of drought, in all regions.
    it states “low confidence” for any increase in floods, rainstorms, landslides, drought, “fire weather,” cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, sand and dust storms, hail, sea level rise, coastal flooding, and erosion.
    It also indicates low confidence regarding a decrease in snow, glaciers, ice sheets, or lake, river, and sea ice, beyond the Arctic region."

      Correct, but popular culture is operating on 25 year old information that the very IPCC has rebutted, such as runaway global warming. Pollution of the land and oceans seems a more pressing concern than any of it, if we are talking enviromentalism. Populations and birthrates seem the more pressing issue overall.

      The problem actually started when the GI's returning home from WWII jumped in the hay with the Mrs. Which is why for my money the title of greatest generation should go the Revolutionary or Civil War gang. Any generation that could burp the boomer's into existence loses the right to have that title bestowed on them. And I say that as someone who got lumped in with that bunch even though I wasn't a product of the big-bang that happened between 1945 - 1947. But that's me.

    Having watched earlier today in the UK the BBC lunchtime 'Politics Live' programme in which a load of lefties (except the Conservative MP) talked about Labours net zero strategy by 2030, described as "perfectly possible" by a carefully chosen young professor. Not one of them had any engineering qualifications or scientific knowledge, they all spoke complete rubbish with an attitude of - this is simply how it is all going to happen. The usual claim that renewables are far cheaper went through completely unchallenged. We know telling outright lies is part of the green strategy, but just how are we going to stop this? The cost of this ludicrous experiment which will ultimately fail badly will be massive, and picked up by ordinary people. God help us.

      So, going back to classical culture? Finally...
      That would imply changing the values of the society to properly edify the individual instead of turning them into little antihuman weirdos. Now, that's a challenge, specially since what most people consider going back to tradition means going back to christianity, which is the system of values that creates those weidos in the first place. You need a renaissance or enlightenment style of value revolution. It's getting a classic strong society again or keeping humility and meekness until total replacement.

This is the actual concern with CO2, although we have around 150 years until that becomes a serious problem, since cognitive impairment is noticed at 800ppm already.

    The reason they are luxury beliefs is that they are making prices higher, rather than offering alternatives, which rich people aren't bothered by. What do tthe upper classes care if gas is $10 per gallon? if a car has a huge tax? If their energy bills go up $200 a month? In the U.S. at least we might be willing to accept these green policies if they weren't simply punitive measures for things we have no choice but to use. I can't get to work without a car, we have a VERY limited public transit system. Most houses are NOT built for energy efficiency or keeping warm/cool. I looked into solar panels, even if my HOA allowed them ( they don't ) they would cost me thousands (more likely tens of thousands) of dollars to install and maintain...it would take decades for the savings on my bills to make up for that huge investment. These well intentioned measures do more to punish the poor than help the environment. And don't get me started on "Just Stop Oil". These protestors are so egregious in their behaviors and destruction that there are no words.
