As far back as the 1960s and ‘70s, activists on a mission to save the planet from various environmental cataclysms (none of which ever materialized) have resorted to stoking panic to generate support for their hysterical pronouncements that all life on earth faces imminent extinction. “I don’t want you to be hopeful,” young climate activist icon Greta Thunberg once lectured the one-percenters of the Davos crowd. “I want you to panic.” Fear is a more deep-seated motivation than rational argument, especially if people are no longer falling for the sophistry and manipulated statistics from scientists corrupted by the promises of Green Reset profit and power.
Now that most people aren’t falling for the fear-mongering anymore, climate activists have given up trying to win support by manipulating people emotionally; instead, they have resorted to a counterintuitive strategy of simply antagonizing people – with traffic blockades, the destruction of priceless works of art, and eco-terrorism. The latest climate change protests include such unhinged actions as painting the Stonehenge monument, launching a sex strike, and riding naked through the streets of Madison, Wisconsin.
Last week a pair of environmental protesters from the widely-detested Britain-based Just Stop Oil group spray-painted the famed ancient Stonehenge megaliths orange, before being tackled by tourists. “We have to come together to defend humanity or we risk everything,” said a spokesperson for Just Stop Oil. Blah, blah, blah.
In another example, the equally unlikeable activists at PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, recently launched a campaign for women to withhold sex from their male partners until men agree to go vegan to save animals and stop climate change.
In a statement titled “Leave the Meat in the Sheets—Go Vegan in the Streets” posted on its official blog, PETA issued the call for a sex strike:
PETA is erecting—ahem—launching new ads warning that eating animal flesh can cause impotence and is calling on people to join the sex strike, and stop having sex with their meat-eating husbands and boyfriends until they go vegan. Why? A study found that men contribute significantly more to the climate catastrophe than women through their consumption of animal flesh.
It included an ad depicting a frustrated male in bed with a woman whose arms are crossed in self-righteous determination to do her part to save the planet. The caption reads, “Don’t Give a F—. Meat is linked to IMPOTENCE and clogs other arteries, too. Join PETA’s sex strike until men stop eating meat. Please, go vegan.”
This isn’t the first time PETA has tried to rally women to hold out until their men, driven mad by unfulfilled desire, are finally coerced to pretend to give up their backward, carnivorous ways. PETA told Fox News Digital,
Women went wild for PETA’s call for a sex strike on meat-eating men in 2022, and with a new study showing that men’s meaty eating habits cause 41% more greenhouse gasses, we know it’s time to ramp it back up. Women have always had power in the kitchen and the bedroom—so we’re combining them to save animals, the planet, and our men’s health. After all, vegans don’t need Viagra and all its attendant risks!
PETA didn’t offer any evidence that vegan males don’t need Viagra, but one could certainly argue that they don’t need the erectile dysfunction pill because no woman wants to have sex with a vegan man.
In yet another example of environmentalist lunacy, Fox News reports on a recent protest event called the World Naked Bike Ride, held in Madison, Wisconsin and other cities internationally. The WNBR claimed the annual event was clothing-optional, open to minors provided they attend with a parent or guardian, and focused on protesting “against oil dependence, anti-bike infrastructure, sexualization of bodies, and body disempowerment.”
That seems like an odd combination of issues until you understand that the organizers are just grasping for excuses to justify their exhibitionist assault against bourgeois values. Protesting “oil dependence” seems rather tacked-on to what is almost certainly their deeper agenda, which is to normalize exposing kids to naked adults by riding Lady Godiva-like through the streets of Midwestern America.
One of the bike riders, for example, gave away the game by admitting, “One of the things that I love about the ride is seeing families out there with parents with their kids saying, ‘Hey, look at the naked riders. Wave at the naked riders,’ things like that. The ones that are doing that are sending their children very important message that this is not weird, this is not strange.” Spoken like a true left-wing groomer.
As I’ve written before, the reason climate activists embrace tactics that alienate potential supporters is because they don’t care any longer, if they ever did, about winning people over to their side:
Despite claiming that they want to open people’s eyes to a coming global disaster, and that they want masses of supporters to help them confront government offices and disrupt fossil fuel use, the truth of the matter is that they are uninterested in persuading people. They are uninterested in winning hearts and minds. Their aim is to steamroll right over what other people want and to force political change now.
Shockingly, this strategy is not getting the climate cultists what they want, which is for Western countries to abandon our fossil fuel-driven advancements and revert to a pre-civilized state to atone for our sins against Mother Gaia, because humans bad, planet good.
Witness, for example, this condescending European take on “self-indulgent” Americans and their planet-killing air conditioning habits. These people are not progressives; they’re regressives.
The religious fanatics of environmentalism are convinced of the righteousness and urgency of their planet-saving mission. Their sense of moral superiority means they have contempt for the average citizen just trying to get on with his or her life, whose commute to work they block in order to draw media attention to their cause. They want to deconstruct and fundamentally transform our way of life, regardless of how it impacts people, because they’re certain it’s for your own good.
I have news for these climate cultists: I live in Texas, where the summer heat is – to put it charitably – unforgiving. If they want to come for my air conditioning, they’re going to have to come and pry it from my comfortably cool, dead hands. Molon labe.

What does it matter? What’s a little air-conditioning sacrifice? Don’t be SELFISH, selfishness is bad, be selfless, sacrifice for the sake of sacrificing.
“Collectivism does not preach sacrifice as a temporary means to some desirable end. Sacrifice is its end—sacrifice as a way of life. It is man’s independence, success, prosperity, and happiness that collectivists wish to destroy.
Observe the snarling, hysterical hatred with which they greet any suggestion that sacrifice is not necessary, that a non-sacrificial society is possible to men, that it is the only society able to achieve man’s well-being.” – Ayn Rand
I guess you have nothing important going on today so you blather on about your air conditioner and you get to tell us how very special you are because you are selfish….or is it rationally selfish. I just can’t keep all of your rules for life straight these days.
Personally I hope your AC goes out. Maybe you can get Goska to give you some $$$s to fix it.
I wonder if you have anything important going on any day of the week.
What country are you from?
The U.S.A.
What country are you from?
I’m in SE Arizona. Saturday the power went out. And it got hot fast-fortunately it was only a 3 hour outage! Fortunately it was because of summer monsoon thunderstorms starting. So it was a bit cooler than the day before with just sun and humidity. What a nincompoop you are for thinking you can survive in extreme temps without AC. Senior citizens and children can die in such temps. This is not an undeveloped nation in free enterprises nations! I’ve been in Asia several times during the monsoon season and it’s brutal.
The climate cult expects women to worship the meatless union and the veggie birth. That is just another impossible burger.
Aren’t the impossible burgers filled with things that are not particularly healthy, like canola oil?
such attention hungry a$$holes
There really ought to be a bounty on members of groups like Just Stop Oil, who likely used and wasted oil-based paint in their attack on a world historical site. What a bunch of vile, narcissistic, bastards.
I would love to see them convicted of vandalism and forced to lick Stonehenge clean!
This attack on Stonehenge looks like it’s straight out of the Taliban handbook. Too bad there isn’t a way to transport both groups back to the time when Stonehenge was built. Then, maybe, they would have been dealt with properly instead of tolerating their barbarian mindset.
This is a Cult of Earth Worshipping Pagans pretty soon comes the Human Sacrifices and their Pagan Celebrations to follow which would replace Christmas Thanksgiving and Easter
There’s nothing wrong with those cultists that a couple of bullets to the back of their heads can’t cure.
There’s a limit on the amount of nihilistic bullsh*t we should tolerate from those contemptible mutts. They’re all mentally ill and need to be “cured” sooner rather than later for greater good of society.
Take them prisoner and force them to run treadmills that generate current to add to our electric grid. What the heck. Make them contribute to society.
What the climate cultists are completely oblivious to is that women want men to care about their families not the planet.
Another excuse for women not to have sex with their men. How original.
Any jackass that vandalizes a painting, statue, or historic monument should be beaten as savagely as islam inflicts on women who don’t wear their hijab properly.
It’s only a matter of time until one of these pampered shitheads targets something irreplaceable like the Mona Lisa in a bid to get more attention.
I say give them the attention they deserve – our full, undivided attention. (And God have mercy on any of these little shits that try to block my truck.)
These ‘activists’ are foolish people being manipulated by evil slugs that will never appear on their behalf when things go bad for said activists.
that’s why they are called “useful idiots”
In Romans 14:2 (NASB)
One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
I agree with peta no-sexos. Normal people don’t want anymore of them around!
Pubic or public naked bike rides will have the ugly or perverts participating or watching.
Brining children to such an event last week, well, what do they talk about in show and tell this week.
Will they next have naked classrooms for children in which the pedophile teachers are naked with the student?
What madness we live in in this here Biblical end times. Hellzapoppin! The majority of Americans and people in the world are too busy trying to keep a roof over their family’s head to have time for this nonsense.
Defacing Stonehenge is as bad as defacing paintings in the Louvre. Stonehenge graffito criminals tackled by tourists, will get their education in prison! Sane people should start tackling the lunatic fringe and get them intervention! So I am pro n0-sexo peta perps — please don’t have sex- get sterilized. We don’t need anymore of you lunatics around!
I like his idea of moving them to TEXAS or some other very hot summer place. Let them live like they intend for us to live – WITHOUT any of the modern conveniences – and see how long they last. A bike ride in 120 degree heat is so much fun!
It should be no mystery to anyone why normal people don’t listen to these morons. They’re simply ineffective people who never learned to communicate. No matter what the issue is, their message always seems to be filled with little more than overwrought hysteria. And when you add vandalism to the mix, their credibility quotient goes into the negative column.
This lunatic Warmist cult is an exact, 21st Century parallel with the 1844 Millerites, in which the quack preacher William Miller persuaded his followers that the Second Coming, and therefore the End of the World and Judgment Day, were imminent. In fact, he calculated that apocalyptic Event literally to the day.
His congregation sold all of their worldly goods, stripped literally naked, and then assembled on a hill dressed only in simple white smocks, to Meet Jesus.
Of course, the Sun rose the next morning, as it always has; and Jesus was nowhere in sight. When, at sunrise, everybody saw that the World still existed and that nothing had changed (except that they were now all naked and impoverished), there was what historians call The Great Disappointment. And eventually everybody, even Miller’s most fervent True Believers, recognized Rev. Miller as the deluded, hysterical quack that he was.
My only Questions are: “When will the Warmists face their own Great Disappointment? And will it be in time to prevent them from inflicting the global catastrophe that they’re working so frantically to bring down on our heads and on our entire species and Planet?”
I agree wholeheartedly with this article.
I had to laugh about the comment about vegan men: I am on a dating site, and my profile states that “I love my red meat, no vegans need apply” ( with humor, of course. I man asked me out for a lunch date, and when I found that he was indeed vegan, that was the end of it. (Oh, the vegan cheese on pizza is just as good)! Uh, no!
Is that all that PETA can do is hold their vaginas hostage to their male partners? We have the sex you want/need and if you don’t comply with our demands you just ain’t getting any. I’d drop my partner in a heartbeat if that was her ultimatum.
I have no issue with nakedness in an adults only location/resort. But not riding bikes in public.
“Leave them kids Alone.” (Pink Floyd.) (The bike seat. It may be a great anti-theft repellent. Would you steal a bicycle with a gash/*ss imprint on it?)
I lived most of my life in SE WI. Mad city is nuts.
Saying that, Madison is overrun with ppl who have cranberries where their brains should be.
How can they have the flagship UW campus??
If those Morons are not already trying to make big name for themselves acting like total idiots and messing up everything and frankly these stupid Just Stop Oil Nit-Wits should all be stranded in the Yukon in the dead of Winter
