Frances so beautifully reconciles the truth of the 'elites' message with their unenlightened and egotist reasons for saying it- they know not what they say!
I really struggle when people keep sarcastically repeating 'you will own nothing and be happy'- like it's a terrible thing and shows how evil the elites are- when owning nothing will indeed make us happy; as will realising that we in fact already own nothing; it's just an illusion. What we are here for is not to gain more and more things and stuff but to love each other as well as everyone else we share the planet with.
Talk of revenge on the elites is futile and not helpful. Let he or she who is without sin cast the first stone. I think these are Wise Words.
I struggle when people say the elites will use my compassion for animals and concern for the destruction of the planet to control me. I'm vegan because I know it is the right, beautiful, life and love giving path for me. Veering from my path because it is what the elites are hypocritically saying, would be insane.
They know not what they say!
But hopefully they will discover.
That is my prayer.

I guess I'm sorta in the middle on this one. I'm vegan solely because factory farms are probably the worst thing going on in the world today with regard to human created suffering. That said, I respect people's right to come to that truth in their own time. I can only control the suffering that I create and so I choose to have no part of it. I would be happy if we got back to regenerative farming and animals being out in the sun, happy, and unaware that one day it will be over in the most humane way possible. That's still not ideal, but it would be a major improvement over the literal horror that happens every day in industrial animal agriculture.
As far as the climate change scam goes, it's just another excuse for the globalists to take away our liberties and force their agenda upon us. I'd love to see corporate polluters stop poisoning our rivers and streams, soil and air, but the science is quite clear that CO2 could triple and the effect would be negligible. The earth is in a warming phase that will balance out as it has for thousands of years. What IS an existential threat is putting thousands of farmers out of business and starving millions to death because of the 1-2 degree difference that we will easily adapt to until the next cooling trend.
The IPCC knows climate like the CDC knows covid.
Well said, Jo, and I loved Frances' article. Plus, The O'Jay's "Love Train" has a special place in my heart. It's too long of a story but I both tear up and smile every time I hear it, so thx! xoxo
