I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the “no oil” activists are also attacking priceless pieces of art. Whether subconsciously or not, they attack the foundation of civilization itself. Western culture and industry, our relatively civilized standard of living, everything that distinguishes us from animals, they hate, and so they make war against in a quadrupedal rage. Make no mistake, these nuts would see the human world burn, and us return to the mindless night of prehistory, in the false belief that it will lead us to a new Eden. But there is no Eden to go back to, no utopia. This happens to be probably the most dangerous notion that we as a species have ever harbored, and every attempt to chase the mirage of Eden has resulted in totalitarianism and mass death. But now, powerful people are indulging in this blind belief, and are funding acolytes and radicals to agitate for another vain attempt to strive for an earthly paradise. What we will get is what we’ve always got in the past: absolute power for a few, and Hell on earth for the rest.
