On the complex interweaving of globalism, nationalism, environmentalism -- not as simple as we might hope. From an environmentalist who voted for Brexit.
"The anti-globalist attack on the greens is a wake-up call. It points to the fact that green ideas have too often become a virtue signal for the carbon-heavy bourgeoisie, drinking their Fairtrade organic coffee as they wait for their transatlantic flight. Green globalism has become part of the growth machine; a comfortable notion for those who don’t really want much to change."
