If you live in rural Ireland , you need a car for fucking everything , it's just a fact of life , and these mother fuckers want to bring in punative taxes for people who rely on petrol and diesel cars for their daily business, push them onto unaffordable electric vehicles , with limited servicability in terms of charging points and mechanics that are familiar with repairing them, and genrally make it really nasty for rural folks to just get on with their lives .
Fuck this shit .
Fucking boils my blood man .
Make no mistake about it , however else you may feel , there is classism built into this climate shit from the get-go.
If you can afford an electric vehicle , and to retrofit your home so that it is carbon neutral, and to buy the more expensive carbon-neutal applicances etc etc, then you are left alone by the state, and whats more , you are afforded a certain social prestige (not amongst people that know this shit is a total fucking scam mind you ) , and if you can't , not only are you punished for the crime of not being able to afford the climate cult starter pack, through punitive carbon taxes and schemes , you are looked down upon by those holier-than-thou climate cult members, who feel that by virtue of them having fiat and obsequiousness in the right ratio, that entitles them to feel morally superior.
The irony is that the upper-middle class (a relatively recent addition to Irish life I might add , and it isn't entirely to do money , it's an attitude more than anything else) is getting hollowed out like a fucking Halloween pumpkin, and little do they know , that the more they acquiesce to the arbitrary demands of supranational entities like the UN's IPCC , the closer they are to neo-serfdom.
Rant over .
