"Greens are Instinctively Genocidal"

Australian blogger James Waterton reviews the documentary film Mine Your Own Business: "This movie has been billed by some as a 'right-wing' counterpart to a Michael Moore production, but it comes across as considerably less polemical - and enormously more believable - than the average output from the portly and infamous self-declared son of Flint." He continues...

It graphically displays the victims of international green politics - the world's poorest - those that the green movement purports to champion. For this alone, Mine Your Own Business is a useful production. Young people who are socialists are generally well-meaning. They want to help the poorest. Fine - help the poorest the liberal way. Help them via voluntary charity. Decouple the link between the Greens and the poor, because the poor confused Greens are inherently antipathetic towards the plight of the poor, whilst championing them. They are no good to anyone - in fact, they can be positively deadly.

Thus, it is essential that the Greens are denied the ability to become a large 'catch-all' political movement by encroaching meaningfully into the economic arena. Scarily, they have come thus far and we must aim to roll their influence back to saving sequoias and killer whales, because when it comes to economics - that is, the realm of human welfare - Greens are instinctively genocidal.
