‘Authoritarianism’ May Be Necessary to Fight Climate Change, Cambridge Study Argues

[excalibur]

This has always been the endgame for the elites. The phony climate crisis has always been about power.

A recent study published in American Political Science Review, a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Cambridge University, begins with a teasing question: “Is authoritarian power ever legitimate?”

For many, the answer is clearly no, concedes the study’s author—Ross Mittiga, an assistant professor of political theory at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. But Mittiga, in the abstract to the study, suggests otherwise:

“While, under normal conditions, maintaining democracy and rights is typically compatible with guaranteeing safety, in emergency situations, conflicts between these two aspects of legitimacy can and often do arise. A salient example of this is the COVID-19 pandemic, during which severe limitations on free movement and association have become legitimate techniques of government. Climate change poses an even graver threat to public safety. Consequently, I argue, legitimacy may require a similarly authoritarian approach.”

Well, the global warming people are Communists. We already knew that.

And fascists.

No idea what kind of weapons an authoritarian climate change warrior would bring to a fight, but it sounds pretty stupid.

Maybe brooms, shovels, and purple rubber dildos?

Meh, the Ivy League subversives strike again with their self-perpetuating misery.

They've already unleashed them, China didn't loose the bug, and China sure as shit didn't concoct the mRNA jabs, it was fascists in the USA who engineered and then launched the bio-attack and its not nearly at an end. They have set the table perfectly, for the launching of further virus variants, much deadlier then the cold virus they currently have half of the populace shitting pants over. Its very important Americans face the reality, the very grim reality of the extreme danger these psychopaths present.

Look at where we have arrived at, in just 1.8 years time, deaths in the prime 18-64 year old population are up 40%, such is staggering. The problem is that many decent Americans are in near total denial of their grim reality, while virtually the entire democratic party base celebrates this new grim reality thinking they are on the team, they are not on the team, they are merely tools of the totalitarians, who likely want them dead even more than the people they really fear, those Americans willing to wage war right back at them!

They are killing off the population, it sounds fantastical, and fringe level lunacy, until you face the grim reality of what is right before eyes, we are through the looking glass....

Probably those little hand held battery powered fans that spray a cooling mist, when standing in line forever at Disney World.

The Communists have always had a terrible record with the environment, so this guy is wrong.

You can vote yourselves into chains but you have to fight your way out.

 

[Calypso Jones]

They got that Authoritarian ball rollin' with this scamdemic. If they can make you put this poison in your body there is no end to what they can force on us. They'll get around to the climate change authoritarianism.

 

[Blackrook]

If professors ran the world it would be like Pol Pot.

you're right...but then the commies(in our case the Left) really don't give a damn about the environment, Its power and compliance they want.

 

[Blackrook]

These professors would be the first against the wall if they got their wish and the Commies took over.

He wasn't a professor. He did not even rule by a constitution. He was more like trump, preferring to rule by edict with nobody running for office or voting against him. He had a Parliament, but he only allowed them to meet for 3 hours after he came to power, so he didn't need no stinking congress either, except to rubber stamp him in power. See? Pretty much the trump plan.
