You're low-key confirming the belief that this whole climate change hysteria is more about reducing the economy and quality of life in the west out of racial hatred than anything else. The men at climate change protests are almost exclusively white when I see them, but facts be damned, huh?

If you had said this about any other race your comment would be flagged right now and you might even lose your job if your employer got wind of it. But as things stand, you'd probably be showered with praise if your employer is a big tech, mainstream media, or academia institution.

Eh. I'm not terribly interested in starting a flame war, so you do you.

FWIW, I'm a mid-age white man myself, so no need to be offended for me.

I get it, your mind has been under constant assault for a decade to make you buy into a certain narrative and beliefs, to the point where you think it's OK (virtuous, even! Proclaim it as loud as you can on social media for good boy points! Self-hatred is the most virtuous of hatred after all.) to be racist, because it's against a target deemed valid.

Damn, the shit you've let the establishment feed you...
