The Church of Woke Climate Panic: How Being Early Means Being Lonely
As I sit here, sipping me tea and enjoying the craic, I’m reminded of the good old days when climate alarmism was the only acceptable viewpoint. Anyone who dared question the narrative was labeled a “denier” and ostracized by the woke mob. But times are changing, me boyo, and even the likes of Bill Gates are starting to see sense.
Gates recently dropped a climate memo that’s got the scientists and activists in a right old tizzy. He’s saying that climate change is serious, but it’s not going to cause the demise of humanity. And that maybe, just maybe, we should be focusing on poverty, disease, and human welfare rather than laser-focused carbon targets and panic. Ah, the horror! The blasphemy!
I remember when I put out a video back in 2017, calling out the likes of Elon Musk and Bill Maher for their climate hysteria. I was relatively early to the party, and it cost me some friendships and a few choice words from the Twitter mob. But as the years have passed, it’s become clear that I was onto something. The panic industry around climate change has been exposed for what it is: a tool for control, a way to keep the masses in line and distracted from the real issues.
Being early means being lonely, me friends. It means standing up for what you believe in, even when the crowd is against you. And it means being willing to take the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, all while keeping your head held high and your wit about you.
Woke ideology is a funny thing, isn’t it? It’s all about purity tests and moral theater. You’re either with us, or you’re against us. And if you’re against us, well, you’re a monster, a denier, a racist, or whatever other slur they can think of. But the truth is, woke ideology is just a scam, a way to keep people in line and prevent them from thinking for themselves.
Take climate change, for example. If you say that it’s real, but that maybe we should stop pretending it’s the single biggest threat in human history, you’re branded a skeptic. You’re not allowed to question the narrative, not even a little bit. But Bill Gates is doing just that, and you know what? He’s not suddenly a skeptic. He’s just rejecting the apocalypse framing, and that’s got the scientists and activists in a right old panic.
Taylor Swift’s new song, “Cancelled!”, is a sharp critique of cancel culture, and it’s got me thinking. The song is all about how women get torn apart for things that men often get away with, and it’s a powerful commentary on the state of our society. The lines “Good thing I like my friends cancelled / They’re the ones with matching scars” really hit home, don’t they? Because that’s what happens when you get cancelled: you find out who your real friends are, the ones who stick by you even when it costs them something.
Standing on your own two feet means being willing to take the heat, me friends. It means being misunderstood, and being uninvited to the party. But it also means being true to yourself, and that’s a gift worth more than any amount of social media likes or followers.
So here’s to being cancelled, me boyos! May we all be brave enough to stand up for what we believe in, even when the mob is against us. And may we always remember that the truth is more important than popularity, and that being early means being lonely, but it also means being right.
As the great Irish philosopher, Oscar Wilde, once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” And I say, to stand up for oneself is the beginning of a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth. So go ahead, me friends, take a stand, and let the woke mob do their worst. For as the saying goes, “When you’re over the target, you’re going to take flak.” But with a bit of Irish wit and humor, we can weather any storm, and come out the other side, stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever.
Merry Cancellation, me friends! May we all be brave enough to take the road less traveled, and to stand up for what we believe in, no matter the cost. Sláinte!
