Time’s 2019 Person of the Year could not summarize better how far the left has gone – BizPac Review

Instead of bestowing the honor of person of the year on theHong Kong protesters whove risked life and limb to protest Chinas oppression, Time magazine has chosen to give it to a 16-year-old girl who believes the world faces animpending apocalypse.

In fact, the girl, Greta Thunberg, doesnt just believe that a mass extinction event is imminent, despite evidence to the contrary. Shes made a name for herself by traveling the globe to lecture world leaders andeveryday citizensabout how they must completely change the way they live their lives to stop this mythical event from happening.

What a winner

Times profile of her begins with the following quote: We cant just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow. That is all we are saying.

Huh!?

It continues by proclaiming her conspiratorial musings to be a simple truth, praising her for skipping school to fight climate change and claiming that shes just an ordinary teenage girl who just happens to possess the ability to clarify an abstract danger with piercing outrage.

But shes not an ordinary girl.Shes the daughter of a famous opera singer and famous actor, as well as the granddaughter of a famous actor and director. In short, shes part of the aristocratic, bourgeoisie upper-class, i.e., she aint the girl next door.

That said, she does certainly possess some sort of talent for speech, as evidenced by her ability to persuade masses of people many of them from the same upper branches of society as her of her simple truth.

Just listen to the loud applause she received from world leaders while speaking fanatically at the2019 UN climate action summit in New York:

According to her, the whole system has to be demolished and replaced with something sustainable, no matter the cost to countries and their economies.

Of course, its easy for someone raised in wealth to make such demands. What, though, of the overwhelming majority who know nothing of wealth?

What, though, of the 40-year-old mum ferrying two kids to school in a decaying Volvo or a cattle farmer trying to make ends meet, as noted byhistorian Tim Stanley in a recent column for The Daily Telegraph?

What might frustrate those people is seeing actors, royalty and children enjoying more influence over [politicians and world events] MPs than their constituents do. The future is being quietly designed without a great deal of popular input, he wrote.

A rather frighting future devoid of combustion-engine vehicles (cars), air travel, nuclear energy, fossil fuel energy, meat consumption, you name it.

While Thunberg hasnt explicitly called for these features of society to be eliminated, shes lent her support to radical Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs Green New Deal:

And as profiled by BizPac Review earlier this year, the GND most certainly calls for those features (and much, much more) to be eliminated.

It also calls for reshaping culture, society and government to fit AOCs radical left-wing perspective one that Thunberg openly admitted to supporting in an op-ed last month.

After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment, she plainly wrote. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.

Those are some highly radical demands. And while its frustrating enough to hear them from grown adults, hearing them from a child has proven too much for some.

Responding to Times decision to name this fanatical child as itsperson of the year, droves of social media users blasted the magazine on social media for choosing her and her disturbing message over those arguably more deserving of the recognition.

Look:

The latter tweet wasnt wrong, by the way. Time magazine did indeed run a person of the year poll, and in response the world chose the Hong Kong protesters, not Thunberg:
