Children “literally organizing out of climate anxiety”

Watts Up With That?  by Eric Worrall 12/28/2020

LA Times reports that children are so distressed by what they have been taught about the alleged climate crisis, some are committing suicide. Others are embracing radical climate activism as a coping mechanism for their climate mental health crisis.

Climate depression played a central role in teenage activist Greta Thunberg’s political awakening, and according to Varshini Prakash — executive director of youth-focused climate activism group the Sunrise Movement — it’s not uncommon for her group to meet kids who have contemplated suicide over the climate crisis.

Lifestyle changes “empower individuals to feel like they can act,” said Abby Austin, 23, the political lead for the Sunrise Movement’s L.A. branch — echoing medical professionals who say that even small personal actions can help people feel like broader change remains possible.

Feed kids a constant diet of climate anxiety; some commit suicide, some turn to radical activism, some choose to become vegans or withdraw from life or vow to never bring children of their own into what they believe will be a ruined world.

The solution is obvious. Stop frightening the children.

Parents in a war zone don’t take young children out every day to see a bloody parade of all the mutilated corpses, they try to shield their kids from the horror, to give their children as normal a childhood as possible, even in the most impossible circumstances.

But climate activists don’t seem to behave that way. Activists seem to delight in “preparing kids for the future”, by feeding them as much horror and misery as they can pack into a school day. When the kids get home, the indoctrination is far from over. The kids get to tune into often government funded climate documentaries, to reinforce the unhappiness they learned at school.

No wonder the kids end up so messed up.

Children are being force fed a steady diet of lies by the public schools and the media, from climate change to transgenderism. It's no wonder they're going crazy.

The Covid lockdown has kids committing suicide at much higher rates.

And the left couldn't care less.

Handle it kids. We grew up in the shadow of The Bomb.

Really, though, we only knew as much about that as we chased down on our own, but the anxiety fostered was from the same bunch of sh*tbirds as it is today...

Only at least some of that threat was real, now the panic is purely fomented in a quest for control of the people, birthed in a hotbed of lies and distortion, sired by the Deceiver himself, and nurtured at the government teat.
