‘Green Antoinettes’ live large, preach small – ‘Do as we say, not as we emit.’
From Leo DiCaprio to AOC, the new nobility moralizes about austerity while refueling their private jets. Their creed: ‘Do as we say, not as we emit.’
Politicians, celebrities, and billionaires who lecture ordinary people about their carbon footprints live by another set of rules. They travel by private jet, dine in excess, and retreat to mansions powered by the very energy sources they want banned. It’s a spectacle of hypocrisy so pervasive, the media barely blinks.
There are forces of madness; I have shown you that I make allowance for them. But they are only dangerous so long as privilege allies itself with hypocrisy. The task of the modern civiliser is to sweep away sham idealisms.
George Gissing - Born in Exile (1892)

Let them eat Soylent Green.
