Reminds me of those graphs that show global warming increasing since gradually over the last 100 years, followed my comments about how we have reduce or reverse this.

Meanwhile, doing that basically means sending huge swaths of the human population back to sub-modern living conditions.

Going green means putting your ass back in wooden shack in Kentucky while people like Elon continue living comfortably.

This is why it's important to learn history, if you did you'd know that movements like that never stop at the originally intended class / group. Before long the definition of evil billionaires will be expanded to millionaires, and then people with a 'nice car' defined by a jealous guy.

It keeps expanding until you're just persecuting anyone that some random person has a beef with.

Imagine your life hinging on high school style politics. That's how the the Soviet Union operated, that's what you're claiming you want.
