Here is a question for your long weekend: Why haven\u2019t you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere? Why is it always the US or capitalism messing up the environment? Why don\u2019t they show up at all when China is a bigger threat to clean air than any US city?<\/p>

The answer is obvious, but I\u2019ll say it. It was never about the climate but rather capitalism or the US.<\/p>\n

In 2024, climate activists in New York City protested alongside anti-Israel protesters at a rally headlined \u201cClimate Justice Means Free Palestine.\u201d Last year, climate change celebrity icon Greta Thunberg tried to storm Israel by sea on a flotilla protesting the country\u2019s war in Gaza, yelling \u201cFree! Free! Palestine!\u201d when she was refused entry.<\/p>\n

And, last week, activists from CodePink, a far-left feminist activist group that has received funds from an American expatriate, Neville Roy Singham, living in Shanghai, took a break from their rallies supporting the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Cuba Communist Party to circulate a video on Instagram, attacking a Utah data center project backed by investor Kevin O\u2019Leary.<\/p>

That\u2019s a busy bunch protesting against the West. Maybe someone should tell them that the clean air in Cuba is due to a collapse of industrial activity. Or we can always remind them of how they treat gays in Palestine or women in general.<\/p>\n

As the article points out, these marches were always about hating the West and what we stand for. So don\u2019t be fooled by the slogans or some well-meaning people showing up to protest. The root of all of this is hatred of the West and our individual freedoms.<\/p>
