Michael Moore Shoots the Left in the Back

You've probably already come across this, because it will be all over the internet, but I just had to go on record as being one of the ones promoting it. I was impressed by Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine back in 2002, but over the years his inevitable hard-left stance eventually alienated me. But you have to deeply admire someone who follows the evidence where it leads rather than blindly sticking to their principles. Moore has produced and lent his name to Planet of the Humans, which attacks green energy as an alternative to fossil fuels. In doing so Moore will have aroused the hatred of the Left, especially those promoting the Green New Deal, who will see the film as supporting Donald Trump's stance and presidential campaign.

I see it as forcing people to think, actually think, which is getting to be a lost art. It will also function as a test. If you truly care about the planet and really want to do the right thing, you will be concerned that you might have been conned by some of the sustainable energy projects. If you're just along for the ride so that you can despise Trump and Big Oil, and indulge in virtue signalling, then you will shriek that Moore is a traitor and abuse him heartlessly. It will be interesting to see who fails the test.

Oh, and by the way, I was criticised recently for linking to articles in right-wing sites. But that's the point of this site: to assess information and views on their merits, not on their source.
