We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Burn, baby, burn!

Will this age of wickedness never end? First, some Danish quack tries to convince us that the world is not about to end and now some Swedish ‘reactionaries’ try to debunk recycling:

“Throw away the green and blue bags and forget those trips to the bottle bank: recycling household waste is a load of, well, rubbish, according to leading environmentalists and waste campaigners.

In a reversal of decades-old wisdom, they argue that burning cardboard, plastics and food leftovers is better for the environment and the economy than recycling.”

WHAT??!! How dare they? Don’t they realise how many years of activism are at stake?

“The claims, which will horrify many British environmentalists, are made by five campaigners from Sweden, a country renowned for its concern for the environment and advanced approach to waste.

They include Valfrid Paulsson, a former director-general of the government’s environmental protection agency, Soren Norrby, the former campaign manager for Keep Sweden Tidy, and the former managing directors of three waste-collection companies.”

Probably just a bunch of nazi zionist illuminatis in the pocket of Donald Rumsfeld.

“The Swedish group said that the “vision of a recycling market booming by 2010 was a dream 40 years ago and is still just a dream”

Do the words of John Lennon mean nothing to you, you baby-eating monster?

“Technological improvements had made incineration cleaner and the process could be used to generate electricity, cutting dependency on oil.”

See, it’s all really about OIL!!!.

They added: “Protection of the environment can mean economic sacrifices, but to maintain the credibility of environmental politics the environmental gains must be worth the sacrifice.”

What do these people know about credibility? Everybody knows that the credibility of enviro-mentalism is maintained by clambering all over public monuments unfurling stupid banners and shilling for marxist despots.

“A spokesman for Greenpeace said: “It’s a nonsense to say incineration could ever be better than recycling. That would be a regressive step.”

Yes, quite right. How can one possibly tolerate anything ‘regressive’ whilst trying to drag us all back into the Stone Age?

These Swedes are nothing but terrorists.

    In order to grab attention people will say anything, just ANYTHING, even, ocasianally, the truth !

  • MB’s hometown has had a very modern generating incinerator for years, now, with no problems with pollution or anything else. It’s very nice to know that the rubbish is being used for something useful; a second life, as it were.

    Mr. Carr seems rather punchy today. First, the tiny violins regarding the human shields, now this.

    For some reason which I can’t explain, I read this and all I could think about was the joke:

    “How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”

    Punchline:”That’s NOT FUNNY!”

  • Excellent David, more of this, baby, more! 🙂

    Excellent, just excellent.

    The comment “how can one possibly tolerate anything regressive——-” really lit me up. What fun.

    Regressive, progressive… Just what are these people trying to progress to? As if whatever it is is universally understood to be a good thing, despite never being explained in any detail. Hmmm…

  • It’s the standard Marxian idea that history progresses towards some state of perfection. Thus there some things move you towards this state (progress) some things move away (regress). People in the know can’t see how “misguided” people can think the awful things they do.

    Hey Hey Hey. I guess if we wait long enough the facts will bubble up and meet the light of day. These idiots who are concerned that many year of activism are at stake should be ashamed of themselvs. They sound like the type that is capable of burying their head in the sand and deny anything!!!

    HEY, it’s environmentally unsound to transport that garbage to recycling centers. IT HURTS THE ENVIRONMENT.

    Grow up and believe the truth…it will set you free.
