Sometimes, reality is stranger than satire - from The Daily Wire:
Youth Protest Group Inspired By Greta Thunberg Disbands, Accuses Itself Of Racism
“Under the suggestion and guidance of the BIPOC members” of the group, a New Zealand youth environmental protest group inspired by teen activist Greta Thunberg disbanded, accusing itself of racism.
School Strike 4 Climate’s Auckland chapter wrote on June 12:
School Strike 4 Climate Auckland is disbanding as an organisation. This is under the suggestion and guidance of the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) members of our group, as well as individual BIPOC activists and organisations. We are not holding any more climate strikes in the Auckland region. … BIPOC communities are disproportionately affected by climate change, so the fight for climate justice should be led by their voices and needs, not Pākehā ones.
“Pākehā” means white New Zealanders.
The group continued that there was an “urgent need to decolonise the organization”
Not activism. Mental illness. Plain and simple.
