Enviro Left

The environmental left’s real problem is the same one as the “Remains” had in the Brexit vote: their message expresses no hope for the future, and instead enumerates only consequences and punishments.

Whatever their actual message, when most people are exposed to the enviro-left’s messaging what they hear is a litany of how we’ll all be living in 8×8 featureless concrete boxes where we eat tasteless vegan gruel twice a day, where there is no air conditioning and no individuation of any kind because anything that smacks of desires or aspirations — well, that all emits too much carbon.

Honestly, most people would rather be dead than live in the world on the other side of the enviro-left’s perceived preferred societal alterations.

Why is the left in general so terrible at messaging, at propaganda?

Nearly any approach would be better than what the enviro-left actually does, because any tack that makes people think of mortality only nudges them towards conservatism and orthodoxy.

That the left should have been concentrating on population reduction and control but could not for political reasons is the real failure in my opinion.
