Delingpole: Greta Thunberg -- Patron Saint of the Age of Stupidity
[BREITBART] St Greta of Thunberg has made it into the cover of GQ and is now on her way across the Atlantic in a $4 million yacht to lecture Americans about climate change. Could there be anything more emblematic of the stupidity of our age?
That word you're probably searching for right now is "twit."
My first question would be: what is a 16-year old autistic school drop-out who has done nothing of note in her life other regurgitate climate propaganda doing on the cover of a men’s magazine?

Call me naive but I thought the point of men’s magazines was to write about stuff that men might find interesting: dodging snipers’ bullets in war zones; free-diving with great white sharks; playing Scrabble with the Medellin cartel; where to track down the coolest leather jacket under £1,000; strafing a remote baboon colony in a Mig-25 Foxbat; the quest for the world’s purest MDMA.

Sure, girls have a place in this universe: as decoration and objects of lust. But spooky Greta with her pigtails and thousand-yard stare of disapproval is not only far too young to qualify for that status but far too earnest and grim.

And boring. What kind of man would be remotely interested in buying a mag whose main feature entailed a finger-wagging lecture (one we’ve all heard a gazillion times before) about how, like, totally endangered the planet is and how totally it’s all our fault and how we’ve got to abandon all the things we hold dear ‐ meat; air travel; fast cars; designer threads ‐ in order to stop all the baby polar bears melting?

#1 GQ hasn't been a "men's magazine" for quite some time.

Not a straight men's magazine anyway.

So it isn't surprising they put Joan of Ack! on the cover.

The real problem is the adults who are using this poor defective for their own aims.

#2 Even Playboy is now an SJW bulletin.
The entire legacy media is staffed now with soyboy and antifa types.
An employment program for liberal arts incompetents who've spent too much time in identity politics labs and whose only skills are Twitter storming and virtue-signaling.
