Little Agents of Evil

The most important, and perhaps most fundamental, duty of civilization is to protect children from harm. From bodily harm, of course, but also harm to the mind and soul. It's generally understood that children should be protected from emotional abuse as well physical abuse. It's less understood that children should be protected from spiritual abuse as well. Consequently, our current society almost seems designed to destroy the human spirit.

The latest infatuation of the left is a 16-year-old girl from Sweden who engages in unhinged climate hysteria. Why a clearly disturbed teenager would be the new hero du jour merits some attention. An apparent reason would be that children are protected from criticism. Put your radical climate agenda into the mouths of babes and the right-wing opposition will be forced to proceed lightly in their response. E Michael Jones talks about how the elites forbid criticism of certain groups of people, then put those people in position of power to immunize the establishment from popular dissent. For instance, if you criticize Barrack Obama you are a racist, criticize George Soros and you are anti-Semitic, criticize Hillary Clinton and you are sexist, etc. However, children are not really given a protected status. There is no special hate word created for criticism of children and no organizations that rally around any perceived slight of a child. The left had no problem demonizing some Catholic boys without any evidence whatsoever, cowed Mini-AOC into submissions with a slurry of death threats, and have made abortion almost a right-of-passage for women to express themselves as independent. So, a culture of sanctifying children does not seem to be a proper explanation for the momentary elevation of this girl to rock-star status.

A common explanation for the tensions between the left and right is a disagreement on what virtues are. The left is as well-meaning as we are, they simply disagree on what is good, or on methods we employ to maximize commonly shared goals. I increasingly find this hard to believe. Sure, it applies to some degree. It seems to apply moderates of the left and right, but does not account for the major trends. The left are consistently drawn not to some other interpretation of good, but to evil itself. Why are they drawn to a deranged girl spouting woes of imminent doom? Infowars did a video segment showing that the girl seems to be possessed, in the literal sense. The left have some ability to find the demons that lurk in darkened hearts. They praise anyone spouting climate lies because they are attracted to The Lie, but even more so when it's a child because that violates the prime directive of society to protect children. The show they tune in for is the public exploitation of a tormented child, much like the dancing child tranny they are so fond of. The thing to keep in mind about Greta Thunberg and similar spectacles is they aren't really even acts of political action, but public expositions of the powerful evil forces that rule our collapsing society.
