Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Governor Jerry Brown and Michael Bloomberg both appeared on NBC to attack President Trump’s views on Climate Change.
Bloomberg slams Trump on climate change, which Brown likens to Nazism
Michael Bloomberg slammed Donald Trump’s inaction on climate change on Sunday and said any candidate for president in 2020 – he himself might be one – must have a plan to deal with the problem.
At the same time, retiring California governor Jerry Brown likened the fight against climate change to the fight against Nazism during the second world war, saying: “We have an enemy … perhaps very much devastating in a similar way.”
Both men appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press. The billionaire former New York mayor said: “It would be a lot more helpful if we had a climate champion rather than a climate denier in the White House.
“You know, I’ve always thought Trump has a right to his opinions. But he doesn’t have a right to his own facts.”
A vocal critic of the coal industry, Bloomberg, whose fortune is estimated at $40bn and who spent $100m on his last mayoral race, has said he plans to make climate change a leading issue in the 2020 race, whether or not he runs.
“Any candidate for federal office better darn well have a plan to deal with the problem that the Trump science advisers say could, basically, end this world,” he said. “I can tell you one thing, I don’t know whether I’m going to run or not, but I will be out there demanding that anybody that’s running has a plan.”

Fighting the far-left greens and their antifa Brownshirt thugs is much more like fighting the Nazis.
Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to actual fighting. Many millions died fighting the Nazis.
However, for those of us who prefer historical honesty, “climate change” looks a lot like eugenics. It’s an idea loved by all “right-thinking” progressive people because, it fits their beliefs about their right to control the teeming masses by whatever means they can.
Like eugenics, it will be seen in hindsight as something truly monstrous, motivated by racism and a hatred for the poor. Eugenics was central to Nazi philosophy and led directly to the death camps and “medical” torture.
However, those who promulgate these vile lies will never apologize because, they will always claim they were acting for the good of the people or the planet. But the evil that they do shows their true intentions.
One can only hope we see something analogous to the Nuremberg trials for those who are causing all the misery. But I expect that, like Nuremberg, many of them will be dead before it happens.
IO,
It certainly seems that many are fooled when evil is wrapped with benevolence. It just surprises me that so many remain fooled even when the evil is exposed.
The desire to control is often disguised as the desire to do good.
They are so convinced that what they are doing is going to benefit mankind, that they are willing to overlook the evil being done in their name.

Remember the Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man”? Bloomberg and Brown are the “👽”.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.”
– H.L. Mencken
” the problem that the Trump science advisers say could, basically, end this world”
Really ? which “Trump science advisers ” would that be ?
Why not go one better , it will destroy the solar system and then the entire universe: we MUST act now !
Greeny ideologues want a means to force everyone to do what they say. Globalists want to use it as a means to install an unelected, unaccountable world government.
This is all about power , not energy.
I appreciate that someone else on here, albeit tentatively, is making this connection.
I’m here to say without doubt, this is planned eugenics, but it isn’t just climate.
The foundation is agenda 21/2030 and many of the tentacles are as follows:
Attack on hydro carbons (6n, 6p, 6e). Not an accidental or coincidental choice. You people must understand they speak another language, in symbols, and this esoteric nonsense does matter to them. This is both a direct attack on our ability to live comfortably and an attack against ourselves on an esoteric level (literally mankind attacking itself through these carbon based policies).
Attack on the family (see attack on monotheism and Judeo Christian values, birth control, heralding abortion (Margaret Sanger), hedonism, etc.
Attacking the food and water (fluoride, trans fats, processed foods, BPA and equivalent estrogen disrupters, GMO, pesticides, etc). Sure, many of you poo poo that but fine, you can blind yourself to reality that isn’t my problem.
Lying about health while pushing vaccination, same comment as above. Many of you disagree. That’s fine.
Geoengineering. They are now openly calling for it in mainstream and history tells us this has already been ongoing, since institutions only discuss what they plan to do after it’s been tested and implemented.
Attack on sovereignty: NFA, 14th amendment, banning natural substances for personal use, etc.
Attack on biology: androgenous agenda gender bending (boys in UK bring told they can have periods), affirmative consent laws /#metoo, which put the risk of sex too high for young males, BPA plastics in everything known to contribute to elevated estrogen mostly affecting males, heralding pedophilia as a sexual preference (see Ted talk and NYT articles if you don’t believe me), video games and internet/A.I. movement pulling youth away from natural, organic experience into a surreal world of sensory overload fantasy.
Surveillance state where your dish washing machine and television literally record your audio through Bluetooth (see multiple accounts is this, most notably Samsung)
Forced smart grid technology whereby they monitor your energy use every 15 minutes (verified through Excel when they tried to force us in Arvada Colorado, of course, claiming cheaper rates_ trojan horse no thanks.) Hov Lanes requires monitor tracking device rather than just multiple people.
Digital currency/RFID chip phasing out private transactions through cash.
This picture is so much more conspiratorial than many of you status quo apologists care to grasp because you’ve also placed trust in the state (only when it benefits you- see police/military/social norms, and even then barely benefits you if you look at the data) and the system, for which you have stockholm syndrome.
This is multifaceted, top down, depopulation program based on poisoning everything we consume, physically mentally and spiritually, so that the next generation not only doesn’t want to procreate but eventually they can’t, and in order to they’ll need a special permit. What’s left will be about 500 million low IQ grunts to do what robotics cannot.
That’s the full plan. Full spectrum domination by the likes of families such as Gates, DuPont’s, Rockefellers, Bloomberg’s, Brown, Columbia, Rothschild’s, etc and all the other super wealthy world elite that plan with them yearly at events like bilderburgs.
Too far fetched? Well maybe you should read more, recognize the patterns, the words, the actions, the manifestation of all those things spoken throughout the last century, and how technology has catapulted these demons to enact their agenda.
But no, that’s too much for you folks. It’s easier to just label me a conspiracy theorist instead of challenging yourself and doing the deep research to see how it all had been set up. Then you’ll complain it’s all just the leftists when what I’m proclaiming is fully established.
You do talk out of your arse.
Do you object to chlorination of drinking water?
What’s the incidence of Smallpox this year?
Boys in the Uk being told they can have periods? Where did you get that stupid idea from?
Birth control? What’s your problem with that, or are you a Catholic or a Muslim?
Adam,
The boys in the UK are indeed being told that very thing. Female sanitary dispensing machines have even been mandated for installation into boys restrooms.
Here’s just one link (there are many:)
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/12/16/boys-can-have-periods-schoolchildren-taught-latest-victory-transgender/
The idea that too many human beings exist, has been taught to people in the civilized Western world in many forms, for a very long time. Online attempts to argue against the idea are met with massive resistance.
The idea that too many human beings exist, may be the most dangerous idea that mankind has ever faced.
“The new advice follows a council report which said: “Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods”, adding that “menstruation must be inclusive of all genders”.”
These people are truly evil. They teach an impossibility to kids to be inclusive? And this was approved by the education board? Somebody needs a good public whipping for this.
Adam: “Boys in the Uk being told they can have periods? Where did you get that stupid idea from?”
I’m always amused at how arrogantly ignorant so-called intellectuals are.
Here you go Adam. Contact these countries and tell them they’re full of ca ca de toro as well.
http://vaccineimpact.com/2018/european-nations-send-open-letter-to-who-regarding-lack-of-vaccine-safety-studies/
Know who financially controls the vaccine manufacturing industries? CLUE: It’s the same people who control the world’s paper money.
Go for it Adam. And don’t forget your flu shot.
You’re 16 years old and no period? There’s something wrong with you.

Similar to when Noah, in that story, tried to explain to the people what was coming..
Or the allegory of the cave…
Most will scoff and rebuke. Congratulations on being just another slave enjoying their bondage, rebuking those who are trying to show you those puppets on the wall are make believe, and the puppet Masters genuinely hate you
Hey I agree with part of that. Just being a paranoid schizophrenic doesn’t men they’re not out to get you.
Indeed it does look like that. Brace yourself and see

So, last comment because I realize many of you don’t consider my perspective even close to reality, which is fine, but…
I’m going work on tying these thoughts together with sense research and quality writing, then, I’ll just make a short comment to the effect of:
“Yes this is about eugenics, if you are interested I discuss it here” and provide the link. I think that would be less obtrusive in these comments
Matthew,
Where have you been? The UN’s Agenda 21 has been discussed in these pages, many times and so has much of the rest of what you mention, although some of your writing deteriorates into conspiracy theory. Trip nuttery is never helpful.
Your last post sounds a lot like you are going to pick up your toys and go home. We’ve all seen that before.
If you can’t stick around to prove and defend your own words, don’t falsely claim that you are leaving because none can rise to your level. Just go and be done (and gone.)
Don’t try to say so much in one post, Matthew Drobnick. I’m sure I sound the same after a few ales, but right or wrong, it often doesn’t go over very well with many readers. Try sticking to fewer points, and more reasons to back them up.
Michael,
indeed. that is more what I’m going for.
Alan. This isn’t about picking up toys and going home. It is two fold:
1. I’m catching myself rambling and not correctly tying my points together because it is tedious to supply all the links, so I need to cut the length significantly.
2. due to needing to cut the length, I should start spending the time writing, editing, shoring up my ideas, explaining more fully, and then making a short comment (so as not to annoy those who aren’t interested) and to provide an opportunity for those with interest to see a better explanation of my points.
I’m typically at work and just firing off thoughts as I have time and it isn’t sufficient, and I realized it, so I’m going to work on methods that aren’t as loosely tied together or that seem to venture off topic.
I’m long winded. I always have been. Fixing that is borderline painful and takes massive amounts of my energy.
I hope that clears it up.
@Interested Observer: You’ve probably already read it, but Prof. Richard Lindzen first made the analogy between global warming and eugenics 23 years ago.

Interested Observer,
I have had the same view for a considerable time.
The late Michael Chrichton had a good short piece at the end of his book “State of Fear” on the uncanny parallels between Eugenics and Global Warming.
For a wonderful study, read the book, “ In Reckless Hands:Skinner v. Oklahoma and the near triumph of American Eugenics,”by Victoria P.Nourse.
The Theory of Eugenics had near universal acceptance 100 years ago.
In one of the saddest and worst cases ever in the US Supreme Court, Buck v. Bell (1927),the Court upheld compulsory State sterilization laws based on the Eugenics theory.
In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, “ Three generations of morons are enough.”
We now recognise Eugenics as pseudo- science.
Their propensity to psychological transference is nearly 100%.
Almost every time they open their mouths to criticize or condemn, what they say is perfectly true, but of themselves, not of those to whom they aim their lies at.
Look at Jeff Albert’s comment just below regarding “evidence”, and “poisoning the well”.
He is spot on, but directly his comment away from those for whom it is true.
Brown truly does poison the well with his 100% baseless assertions.
He’s jumping the shark.
By “jumping the shark”, I think you mean “lying”.
You are correct, Menicholas.
And of course the Nazis were National Socialists. You can put whatever word you like in front of Socialist, such as Soviet, but the fact remains that Socialists are evil.
If memory serves me, the full title was “German Socialist Workers Party”. Why the US ‘left wing’ would accuse republicans of being like the Nazi’s is beyond me. Could it be that they don’t have a clue about history, or anything else for that matter?
In the mind of the left, they have convinced themselves that they are good and caring people. Therefore anyone who disagrees with them must be evil, uncaring people.
From history they know that the Nazi’s are bad, therefore anyone who disagrees with them is the same as a Nazi.
The ironing being in that fascists* who demonize their opposition are NAZIS!
Their demonization of Trump makes THEM Nazis. They don’t argue issues, they brand their opposition as evil. And any action is justified against evil.
*Fascism: strong, autocratic central control of a private economy. See: United States of America, with 615 Federal agencies.
I don’t care how many times you iron them, you still can’t get the wrinkles out.
The “Goebbles” is still in these two!!!!!
*still strong…
I think Einzatsgruppenfuhrer Brown has made a Freudian Slip in referring to the Nazis.
‘Climate change’, i.e. CAGW, is indeed a very Nazi like piece of dogma
2 Trillion a year in global tax revenue payouts for propaganda, carbon schemes that accomplish nothing, and subsidized “green” energy policies that use even more fossil fuels then the “planet killing” energy to create infrastructure. Oh yeah, there’s no reason for these morons to continue lying. What possible motivation could they have?
Let’s hope Bloomberg makes Climate Change a major issue in 2020, because the majority of Americans rate it last or next to last in importance. Bloomberg spending his billions tilting at windmills, so to speak, is a winner for rational people.
1.5 degrees in 150 years is a “crisis” equal to the Nazis? Do this turkeys realize how outlandishly absurd they sound to ordinary people who took math and geology before 1985? Yes, let this be the Dems’ “big issue,” since that’s all they’ve got. Polls repeatedly show that “climate” stories get the least clicks and views, the biggest yawns and the most channel changes of any issue out there. We must be doing very well indeed as a country if made-up hysteria from a crystal ball is the best they’ve got! MAGA!
Ordinary people aren’t Governots and AG’s and judges.
Let’s see their (policy) cards on the table now, not just the bluster and not after elections when declaring overwhelming mandates to do this or that without question.
Great idea. I believe most people that believe in CAGW think that to fix it only requires some minor sacrifice on their part. They have no idea of the present costs or the future costs that are in the planning stages by the collectivist. If they did understand the sacrifices they would look into the truth of the matter .
their policy cards have been played:
Ocasio Cortez. That is what they have rolled out.
and guess why people voted for that knuckledragger…
self-association and nothing else. look at the district ethnic makeup
again, BUILD THE WALL! we need less low information voters who will turn this place into the Ish-holes from whence they came
“At the same time, retiring California governor Jerry Brown likened the fight against climate change to the fight against Nazism during the second world war, saying: “We have an enemy … perhaps very much devastating in a similar way.” …”
—
How is this not flat-out hate-speech and an incitement to denigrate or attack others and prejudice against them? Why is it not against the law in the USA and California? Why is it OK to prejudice people like that and get away with such a despicable and totally false treatment and defamation of others?
How disgusting.
Jerry Brown, you are a complete grub, you should be sued into poverty for your outrageous collective hate, lies, prejudice and rank anti free-speech attitude and authoritarian bent. You’re a total disgrace to the United States of America and all it stands for.
He despises America. Hasn’t he said so in speeches? It’s not like Jerry’s hate isn’t obvious.
“Hasn’t he said so in speeches?”
Unless you have some evidence, stop poisoning the well.
Have a look here :
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/12/15/jerry-brown-tells-un-that-trump-does-not-represent-the-people-of-the-us/
Sorry, Bonbon, not seeing any quote by Brown that he hates or despises America.
Since I’m not trolling I will admit I couldn’t find the exact speech. His well is full of hatred for anything Trump is trying to accomplish in California from what I did have to sit through looking for it. If there was some kind of archive I could find easily memory tells me it’s out there. Sorry for poisoning your well full of hatred and obstructionism. No wait, how could that well be any more poisonous? (Rhetorical question)
Both Bloomberg and Brown are United Nations facilitators. Can either of them supply data/information that they represent the views of the people of the United States?
Where’s the Beef? Those who signed the America’s Pledge? And who are these signers?
And,
UNFCCC
Articles: about 1,820
Search results: America’s Pledge
https://unfccc.int/gcse?q=Americas%20Pledge
If anyone is interested?
I particularly like how the pledge says it’s irreversible. That’s kind of like saying all nations that have signed it are financially enslaved to the UN, unless you believe that less then half a percent of greenhouse gas emissions will destroy the world. It’s convenient that Jeff’s believers have most of the control of the internet. I wonder if they might make it hard for someone to find that quote from Brown?
Because we don’t allow hate speech laws for this very reason. Political speech is sacrosanct, and some people will always find some speech hateful, so it quickly devolves into a system where “whoever disagrees with those in charge is hateful”, if it isn’t used as a flat out writ of attainder.
Yes it’s frustrating at times, but the alternative is much worse.
Weimar Germany had “hate speech” laws aplenty, and a fat lot of good it did them.
No doubt he’ll reactivate thousands of B-17s, B-24s, P-38s, P-47s, P-51s, etc (all belching CO2) to go on the attack. Oh the humanity/insanity!
Greens want to take your $127 Trillion and spend it on Massively unsustainable RE that kills raptors, bats, vistas and installs a toxic solar panel legacy: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/07/05/monumental-unsustainable-environmental-impacts/
You can’t add much to the projections of condescending authoritarian types.
Interesting. I have given some thought as to comparisons to NAZIs frequently offered. It seems to me Mr. Brown and his ilk display much of the dynamic that gave rise to that hideous movement among the rather staid German people. These traits include anger and blame focused on a demonized group, righteous indignation with a sense of superiority and a vicious intolerance for dissent. I do not think it is pejorative to suggest that if such a movement were to find a spark in the US at this time, it would find its tinder among the already smoldering indignation of the activist left.
Are the so easily triggered sane?
I’ve wondered that myself.

The guy behind the counter is what an individual antifa member looks like when he is all alone.
Cowardly nutcase.

The question isn’t about the recording, though not everybody likes to be photographed. He was asked to leave, period.
Round about now, the lay extremists get far ahead of the previous more conservative leadership. This happens just at the point that the leadership starts to get uneasy about the results on the movement if the wild forecasts of the extremists publicly fail to materialize. But the leadership is in a really difficult situation, they cannot backtrack and denounce their most effective proselytizers, and what they have been saying is only a little less extreme than the extremists.
Read ‘When Prophecy Fails’ to see what will happen next. It will be a retreat to a high mountain to await Rapture, and when that fails?

This has all happened before. Corbyn’s acolyte, Seamus Milne, still believes in Russian Communism. Many more examples
Governor Moonbeam should remember Godwin’s Law.
The reference to skeptics as “deniers” was an early jump into this. Godwin lamented the use of NAZI references because it diminishes the death, suffering and lessons that should be somewhat sacred.
Like in so many areas, the left commits the first violation of the law and still claims they have the higher ground.

”Trump doesn’t believe in climate”
No rational person could make a statement like that.
Its right up there with ”i believe in women”
”Climate change is real”
”Co2 is real”
Bloomberg also claimed “the poles are melting” and “3 feet of rain in Carolinas” were proof of climate change. For a rich guy, he”s as clueless as a bix of rocks on the issues.
Also Ms Marvel of NASA claimed that Glacier National Park’s glacial melt since 1850 was a clear sign of climate change.
More lies. It was sickening to listen to that crap as Cclueless Chuck Todd merely acted as an Infomertial moderator on the false claims coming out of Bloomberg’s and Marvel’s lieholes.
there is no man made climate change
-click on my name to read my report on that-
or else let me know how you ‘calculated’ what % of the observed climate change is man made and which % is natural,
bearing in mind that sea levels in some of the previous interglacials have in fact much higher than today….
You know when one participant in an argument has failed, when they resort to accusing their opponent of being ‘Like the Nazis’. Brown, Bloomberg and Guardian fall at first hurdle. Pathetic

The Brown Shirts are getting more aggressive every day. I would suggest looking into the steps necessary to claim membership in the Cherokee tribe or others. Independent science thinking is no longer safe in this society.
Brown and Bloomberg – two men with enormous power and wealth.
Imagine if they had a thirst for knowledge. Bloomberg could direct a portion of his $40bn to establish some measure of credence to the science he defends. Then he could produce some science and refute my claim:
The CAGW Theory has no Laws, Axioms, Postulates, nor formulae.
Why is that? We would not be able to derive Laws, Axioms, Postulates, formulae from a flawed theory. How does the CAGW theory differentiate itself from a flawed theory?
A theory that offers nothing to reason with should be used to create policy?
Yes, Mr Brown, you are like nazis, and we will defeat you.
Hey, let’s hand manufacturing to the Chinese and flood the country with aliens that hate white people. What could go wrong with that? We’ll pay for it somehow.
“and flood the country with aliens that hate white people.”
Illegal aliens don’t necessarily hate white people. It’s the American Liberal Elites who hate white people.
Let’s think about this for a moment: White people make up about 65 percent of the US population and of the 35 percent remaining, about 20 percent have some white blood in them, like Obama, who is half white, so about 80 percent of Americans have some white blood in them..
The Democrat Elites are in one way or another, alienatig this 80 percent of the American population with their racist rhetoric against whites, so what is their endgame with respect to demonizing white people? Do they think white people are just going to go away because a few fanatics in the Democrat Party are racially prejudiced against them? I don’t see what they hope to accomplish other than to agitate their fellow racists. But what does that gain them. A few more shrill voices? To what purpose?
The radical Democrats are just full of hate for everything that is traditional America. Radicals have to have something on which to focus their inner anger and hate, and in the case of American radical Democrats white people and the society they created are that focus.
It must really be uncomfortable to feel such anger and hate. There are a lot of tormented souls out there who don’t know where to turn. The first turn they should make is away from the hateful Democrats.
Belief in man-made climate change is like the 17th century belief in witches: once you believe you see it everywhere. Everything and anything ‘bad’ that happens is due to the malicious actions of witches, pardon, carbondioxide. And obviously those who claim that witches do not exist, say so because they themselves are witches too, or at least are in bed with the devil himself.
Far from ‘fighting nazis’, msrs Brown and Bloomberg are taking the mantle of the Witchfinder General.
Just remember, Jerry Brown started out in the Seminary and only later embarked on a lifelong career in politics.
He still thinks and acts like a religious zealot, framing the world in terms of angels and devils/Nazis
Sick/Sad and ultimately pathetic
“You know, I’ve always thought Trump has a right to his opinions. But he doesn’t have a right to his own facts.”
Neither do either of you.
While it may be a fact that human CO2 emissions add a small amount of warming to the atmosphere it is not a fact that this small amount is going to cause the world to end. If they really believe it is, why aren’t they living the “low carbon footprint” life of Ed Begley, Jr.?
Ed Begley still stars in movies, which causes people to drive to go see them, uses lots of energy. He’s just as much of a hypocrite as the rest.
Really? When was the last one? What was the name of that blockbuster!?!? And yes, Gov Brown has publicly stated he does not like America, he has always been quite open about how deeply he dislikes America and Americans, it is one of the primary reasons leftists vote for him, they agree.
His last film of note was probably Pineapple Express, in which his credit was the eight one from the top.
He has tones of TV credits.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000893/
He was in the new Ghostbusters ($229M box office) and also CHiPs ($27M bust of sorts).
He was also in one recently, The Book Club or something like that. You used the word “blockbuster”, not me.
Please provide a link regarding Brown saying he doesn’t like America. If you can’t, it’s just a gratuitous assertion that can be ignored. I certainly don’t like the man, but I believe in evidence.
At least we can agree about the vast majority of the people who tell us to consume less and burn more are hypocrites. While they fly around in private jets and live in huge mansions it’s obvious how terrified they are of CACC.
The actor Ed Begley died in 1970.
His son, Ed Begley Jr., is the washed up/never was, small time, bit part, mostly TV, actor you are thinking of.
“The actor Ed Begley died in 1970.
His son, Ed Begley Jr., is the washed up/never was, small time, bit part, mostly TV, actor you are thinking of.”
Jr was the one referenced. Was it so hard to figure out that’s who I was talking about? As others have pointed out, he’s still acting in new movies.
The answer to that is “Ed Begley Who?”. It has never been about saving the planet, always about controlling what other people do and accumulating as much money fraudulently as possible before anyone gets hip to their grift.
Didn’t think I’d bring out the “Ed Begley, Jr. haters”, but such is life.
Isn’t he one of the few in California actually attempting to lower his “carbon footprint”, whether it needs to be lowered or not? I suppose though that unless living the life of Mother Teresa, one can find some hypocrisy in anyone.
Even Mother Teresa wasn’t “Mother Teresa.”
I would agree that Jr. is a lesser hypocrite, as most of us are.
JohnWho
….why aren’t they living the “low carbon footprint” life of Ed Begley, Jr.?
Because it’s: ‘Do as I say’ not ‘Say as I do’.

Authoritarians, Bloomberg and Moonbeam, accusing those who wish for less government is an absurdity of our times.
After Communism/Socialism collapsed and was seen not to work the politically ambitious moved over the the “environment”. Then to climate where the solution to invented threats is authoritarian government.
Because I oppose the Left, I have been called a Nazi or compared to Hitler.
In calling for limited government, I oppose both factions.
“Before The Deluge” by Otto Friedrich is a history of Berlin during the 1920s and beyond.
The author quotes Hitler”
“Brutality is respected. The people want someone to frighten them and make them shudderingly submissive.”
(Page 383).
Now the common pitch is “Do as I say, or the climate demons will get us all.”
Hitler was a liar. Brutality is feared, not respected. And people only want someone else to frighten their enemies for them, but they forget that the same power can be used against them as well. It is good to learn from history, but we must be careful to take away the correct lessons.
