This week’s looniest lefties
It’s almost impossible to keep tabs on the looney left.
One second, they’re saying we only have 18 months to save the planet from the impending climate Armageddon, and the next they’re declaring Australia is a “deplorably racist” country run by “race-baiting politicians”.
This week however, they’ve totally outdone themselves.
First cab off the rank is Black Lives Matter.
How dare they!
Petter Eide, a Socialist Left member of Norway's parliament said, “awarding the Peace Prize to Black Lives Matter… will send a powerful message that peace is founded on equality, solidarity, and human rights.”
What a crock.
Mr Eide, where was all the peace and respect for human rights, when Black Lives Matter rioters broke into, looted, and set fire to hundreds of small businesses owned by black and white Americans alike, resulting in more than $2 billion in insurance costs alone?
How will “equality” and “solidarity” be achieved when the BLM movement calls for “defunding the police” because “police don’t keep us safe”?
Could this perhaps have something to do with the fact that murder rates rose nearly 30% in 34 American cities in 2020 relative to 2019?
Of course not.
Those protests were peaceful… remember?
Next in line is the Chinese Communist Party which this week seized upon an opportunity to set the record straight on their human rights record.
This is coming from a regime which has established “spy networks in Australian universities”, supported “party branches” in our largest companies including ANZ, and even monitored the children of our senior politicians.As if this isn’t already ironic enough, check out what NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean tweeted this week:
Just finished my advanced copy of #NewClimateWar. Essential reading for everyone who wants to leave our planet to the next generation better than we found it. Congratulations to the brilliant @MichaelEMann https://t.co/VBQ5jA2AAj

Mr Kean, is Michael Mann really the bloke you want to get your policy inspiration from?
Trust the science, Kean tells us…
Ignoring all the doom and gloom, at least we know our future is in good hands.
At least we know our young people are being taught by stable, rational, and well-adjusted intellectuals.
The proof?
As renowned economist Thomas Sowell once said, “ours may become the first civilisation destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children.
“In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.”
Sad, but true.
