All of the BS they have been feeding us about an environmental disaster, the tides getting higher, the storms and hurricanes and she buys a house on the edge of the ocean almost in the water already.
I guess she knows it's all BS too, She and Obama buying waterfront.
What a freaking hypocrite.
You've touched upon the one thing that I despise most about politicians, especially with respect to
- Climate change and
- COVID
Tack on just general "we need to take care of the planet stuff" that celebrities bellyache about.
IF I BELIEVED I needed to lower my carbon footprint - even though yes, trying to get the rest of the world on board is important - I would absolutely lead by example. Celebrities who are rich could easily create homes and a lifestyle that make the best use of energy - live a completely sustainable life - and so forth. Really. If I was rich and trying to preach low carbon footprint, I'd show the world HOW it is done, rather than wag a finger and do nothing.
People like Mahatma Gandhi - he was an educated lawyer with a decent career - and with the following he developed, could EASILY have lived VERY WELL - but chose to have nothing and lived in poverty. Damned close to naked, all the time. This was a man who lived as he preached, but could have easily been otherwise. I've read his life - and he did some weird stuff too, he was human - but by and large - he was PRINCIPLED. He didn't go about preaching stuff he was unwilling to do.
IF I BELIEVED that COVID presented a perpetual danger to me and everyone else (despite the very real science that says otherwise), I would show the world by my behavior that I took it seriously. I wouldn't be tossing off the mask and flouting my own rules the moment the camera was gone. And I sure wouldn't give lame-ass excuses for when I was caught violating them. Think of it - there's a narrative out there that says, there's a deadly disease that will persist and kill us all if we aren't constantly vigilant - and it may take YOU AS WELL. IF I BELIEVED MY OWN BULLCHIT I'd be covering my family in burka-like material and social distancing my ass away from the world.
In the world, you get to preach to others when you HOLD THE MORAL HIGH GROUND.
