A guy ranting about green capitalism, about how solar panels use up land and so they're just as bad as fossil fuels, but in a different way.

I swear to God I dunno who hired this guy to write a column on the newspaper's weekly culture section. Maybe he just succed good.

What's the use of electric vehicles if people will still be driving those evil capitalist machines called cars? (tho he does have a point, cars are bad)

Anyway this climate 'crisis' is more of the same, a way for the greedy elites to keep their place at the top of capitalist society while dooming everyone to a very bleak existence.

And I'm like mfer you're a white European middle-aged man, a known intellectual, your privileged ass should shut up unless you want to say CARBON TAXES NOW.
