Climate activist hypocrite of the month
Skipping classes, getting up at 11 a.m., gluing oneself to the asphalt and blocking streets with your mates all day to save the planet is a really tough and important job, climate activists believe. And so exempting themselves from the rules they want imposed on the rest of society is understandable. After all, they are more important than the rest.
So important, in fact, that activists like Max Voegtli of Renovate Switzerland believes flying to Central America by jet plane for a couple of months of R & R is totally okay. The working class, however, should not fly at all and freeze in the wintertime.
Hat-tip: AUF 1 here.

Dealing with the climate crisis is urgent, insists Swiss radical climate activist Max Voegtli, just before hopping on a jet plane to fly to Central America for 2 months of vacation. Image cropped here.
Last Tuesday, Swiss climate activist Voegtli appeared TalkTäglich at TeleZüri, and passionately explained how urgent it is to deal with the “climate crisis” and demanded that the planet be saved.
Off to Mexico and Central America
Then, already on Thursday, he was photographed at Zurich airport, preparing to board a plane bound for Paris. But climate rescuer Voegtli’s flying would not end in Paris, reports AUF 1: “Paris was not the activist’s destination, but there he only took the connecting flight to Mexico and Central America, where he wants to travel around for two months.”
A two-month vacation is a total fantasy for the rest of the working world, who struggle to make ends meet each month. And this traffic blocker goes unhindered for 2 months?
Climate Emergency Fund
So where does an unemployed activist like Voegtli get the money for such a holiday extravaganza? AUF 1 writes: “It is well known that some of the asphalt gluers receive a regular salary. Organization Renovate Switzerland is no stranger to lavish money: “The organization itself admits that it is financed by the Climate Emergency Fund of oil magnate heiress Aileen Getty.”
Activists cry they are being harassed!
Now that Voegtli’s hypocrisy has been exposed, the embarrassed activists justify all their globe-trotting by claiming they travel as “private persons” and so no one should be photographing them.
AUF !: “Spokesperson Cécile Bessire castigated the ‘media hounding against the climate movement and the people who campaign for it. I find it incomprehensible that citizens are following our activists and taking photos. These are private individuals.’”
At Twitter, the thin-skinned Voegtli defended himself: “Shows again how the @CH_Media cares more about feeding the hate media cycle further instead of talking about the crisis.”
Voegtli’s Renovate Switzerland group added: “Getting politically involved against the climate crisis often goes hand in hand with changing one’s own life. However, it is not a prerequisite to do so. […] No matter if you separate your rubbish, if your house is renovated, if you work for a bank, if you eat meat or if you fly. All you should do is wish for a livable future and get involved in the climate movement.”
AUF 1 summarizes the infantile behavior of the activists such as Voegtli: “It means the climate activists can demand anything from citizens without having to do it themselves.”
In a nutshell, according to the climate activists: it’s “incomprehensible” that citizens would take photos of activists at airports, yet it’s perfectly fine for activists to block major roadways and to harass people who are trying to make a living. That’s how they want it.

Mexico should not allow the hypocrite in.
They need cashed-up tourists like climate crisis cult activists.
Could this guy be our Nick Stokes? Inquiring minds want to know.
They should absolutely let him in.
Then they should give him a SUV send him to the Sonora Desert, south of Nogales, where he has to spend two nights camping before he can get to his connecting flight out of Mexico.
This is par for the course for climate alarmists. Every single climate alarmist who I know personally has a much bigger carbon footprint than I have. They all seem to believe that the rules they want other people to follow don’t apply to them.
Reminds me of the forestry haters who want to stop all forestry- who live in big, wood homes loaded with high quality furniture made of tropical hardwoods, and who have large libraries of books made from paper. Being a forester for 50 years makes me detest those hypocrites.
The plastic grocery bag was invented to alleviate the problem of tree’s being cut down to provide paper grocery bags.
Until some kooks realized that the plastic bags came from petroleum then they tried to go with reusable bags which get everyone sick and then tacked back to paper and now of course let you choose either paper or plastic so that your sorry ass guilt ridden mind can choose which one makes you “feel” better. What a wonderful world.
The now banned in Canada plastic grocery bags were made from some sort of biodegradable starch. I now have to buy real plastic bin liners for the kitchen at $0.15 each.
I’ve always argued that as long as I maintain a carbon footprint smaller than the mean between Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio, I’m a superior human being.
It’s long overdue that a media outlet turns the table on these nutter hypocrites and expose the, probably, undeclared and untaxed income they receive to become a full-time eco loon.
Gail Bradbrook, a senior member of Extinction Rebellion, was recently approached whilst arriving at Waitrose to do her shopping in an old diesel car, and when asked about her choice of vehicle whilst bringing London to a standstill, stated she couldn’t afford to change it!
More and more exposes on these ‘hippo-critters’ required by more of the media!
To be fair (not that I like being so toward XR, JSO or any of the nutters) running an old diesel vehicle for years is more climate friendly than leasing an $80,000 Tesla every 3 or 4 years.
to be fair, living in a crap apartment near, and within walking distance of her shopping, is more ‘climate friendly’ (by her defn … not mine) than driving.
right on- everyone hates hypocrites!
Rules for thee, not for [vip] me
All leftist, not just “climate wackos” as Rush Limbaugh used to call them.
Romans 1: 28-31
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
and the Romans achieved all that powered by eating:
SparrowsImported wheatCheap nasty wine(as grown in England because it was ‘warm’ there at the time. It still is, nasty wine is no problem to grow here even today)Olives & Olive oil.(How does anyone, apart from Starving People, ever acquire a taste for olives?)(and that hideous herb that causes abortions – they ate so much it’s now extinct)How big is the contemporary train wreck (check France right now) considering that we have, on top of ‘never bigger/better‘ crops of wheat but also Rice – both laden with heavy metal toxin Cadmium. Perfectly no Vitamin A and microscopic amounts of Vitamin C
And to really get the Depravity Party rocking, what about Corn/Maize, Canola & Sunflower Oils, High Fructose Syrup and even plain old Sucrose.
All totally lacking in B Vitamins – essential, in large amounts, for holding nervous systems together.
Consider even just B3 Niacin, has many the properties of both Prozac and Viagra.
(Even just sugared almonds saw off the Tudor Dynasty here in England – and set off the Little Ice Age plus the Pythonesque military misadventure that was = Spanish Armada)
btw: Thank you Modern Medicine – thank you so very much (as attached) and linked from a different source….
Headline:“Covid pandemic linked to surge in child and teen diabetesBBC Health
(I attach blame to caesarian section deliveries (OMG, that’s them Romans again), bottle-feeding of infants, refined sugar and over-insulated houses. Also moss-encrusted concrete roof tiles)
And our ‘problems’ are supposed to be cured by eating ever more corn/wheat, TrulyToxicSoya – also bugs, locusts, seaweed and hideous slime cultured in steel tanks. ThankYou BillGates
This insanity is now going galactic in scale/extent
(Nobody really knew or understood why Aluminium was added to vaccines – apart from – it ‘somehow’ stimulated the immune system and ‘improved vaccine efficiency’
Too damn right it stimulates the immune system – hence 70 or 200 (depends who you ask) different autoimmune disorders. AllPreviouslyUnkown
The Enquiring Mind is thus tempted to wonder if modern vaccines do anything at all – apart from ‘stimulate the immune system‘ via a grotesque (heavy) metal neurotoxin that they all contain…….
It would explain one helluva lot doncha think
(haha The Children cry: Aluminium is not heavy so how can it be a HeavyMetalPoison)
while how many cling to the notion that the Romans poisoned themselves with Plumbium?
Lucky for some, especially us right now, Number 13 Aluminium
That herb may not be extinct – scientists believe they have found some.
There will come a day that they will also discover that we know where they live.
The incomprehension of Cecile will be off the scale.
Time for a ‘Just stop just stop oil’ protest blockade outside their houses. See how they like it!
Try that and you’ll be in prison on “suicide” watch so fast your head will spin.
Surely the best thing is to make a larger banner saying “Loonys Ahead” and march just in front of them. You won’t slow things up more and should get a few laughs out of it.
The minute they disrupt public life deliberately they lose their right to privacy in public, no matter where.
The imbecile pours his heart out on his LinkedIn profile
Dipstick
And folks take this moron seriously. Reading his response in the “profile” just reminded me of a petulant spoiled child giving an excuse as to why he should have more cookies than anyone else, or be allowed to do whatever he wants. Aaaaaaaccccckkkk!
Anyway, who is this muppet – patently an over-opinionated spoilt brat rich kid with too much time on his hands.
Why is anyone even giving him the time of day?
The reason is that we all love to pounce on hypocrites who attempt to ruin OUR lives.
Somebody’s gonna get hurt sometime
“… demanded that the planet be saved…”
This saving thing- reminds of how in the ’70s I often talked with a friend who converted from Catholicism to born again fundamentalist Baptist. He kept trying to convince me that Adam and Eve and Noah’s Ark were real and the Earth is young. Then he’d tell me how to “get saved”. So when I hear the were “saved” it comes across as hard core religion.
In the early 70s when I was a teen, “Save the Whales” was the first eco-slogan I remember. Now we are killing the whales (not to mention birds and bats) to “Save the Planet”. How I long for the good ol’ days.
We need a new movement – “Save the human race from the climate lunatics!”
“All you should do is wish for a livable future and get involved in the climate movement.”
And demand that others do what you won’t do.
Climate movement = Bowel movement.
Bowel movements have a function
At some point he stepped into the public arena of trying to restrict others from living their lives via the advances made via the advancements made possible from “fossil fuels”. That is when he lost any claim to having a “private” life himself. Like so many of the public figures he has absolutely no legitimate right to hiding what he is doing 24/7/365 every year. His life should be an open book, if he is to be taken seriously. Otherwise, he is just another charlatan, snake oil salesman, carnival clown of the everyday con artist variety. There are so many and so many faux causes. Expose them all. They will not survive the light of intense scrutiny. Good.
I would love to read about him admonishing the drug cartels for driving and not walking to the next massacre.
Juz ‘nutha inconsequential puke not worthy of any comment.
I can barely tolerate well behaved protesters, people like Max I have no tolerance for.
Whats his carbon foot print! Couple of McDonnalds restaurants worth apparently!
