Considering our leader’s lies on climate action, why is nobody doing this? We used to be more…assertive in our own defense.

Climate change is advancing, leaders say they’ll take action, but are quite clearly lying. So why is the climate movement restraining itself from damaging oil and coal and gas equipment? Why do they (we) persist in blocking traffic, which just pisses off people who often have no choice but to commute to work?

Narcissistic Nation

Many democracies have encouraged their citizens to behave like narcissists, for two reasons: Most of our leaders are narcissists, and capitalism rewards narcissists in particular and sociopaths in general. This is not good – the narcissists-in-charge care only about themselves, not us or the nation. And a narcissistic nation will tear itself apart, as we are doing.

Most of us have had the…experience of living with, working with, or otherwise being in close contact with a sociopath, though we may not have known it. I had the fortune to deal with some ‘challenging’ characters in work and personal life, and I learned a few things – some of them the hard way. (I have anonymized these people so they don’t have an excuse to sue me.)

And at the rate we’re going, our time will be up soon! Think the climate emergency is a huge threat? It certainly is. Plastic pollution? Slowly poisoning us. Ocean acidification? Killing not only the fish we eat but the plankton that make the very oxygen we breathe. Putin’s wars? Russia’s and China’s espionage and cyber warfare and suborning of African countries?

In case you don’t know what a narcissist is, they are people who care only about themselves and their life revolves around self-glorification. They have “an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.”

In case you don’t know who Dr Bonnie Henry is, she is the provincial health official who has been guiding Canada’s province of British Columbia (BC) through the pandemic. And she has displayed troubling, tell-tale signs of pathological narcissism.

The Meek versus the Arrogant: It’s Us or Them

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”

Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature…”

Might makes rights

Whether we like it or not, that is a fact. Those with power determine the rights of everyone else. Only when the people rise up en masse – showing those in high positions where the ultimate power really lies – do the powerful cede us some ‘rights.’ That has been the history of every progressive movement, from women’s suffrage to the labour movement to today’s environmental and social justice movement.
