Updated: 2025.09.30 21D ago 1 sources
The author claims contemporary elites deploy climate moralism to delegitimize challengers and tighten control across media, NGOs, courts, and bureaucracies. ‘Fascism’ becomes a catch‑all label for political upstarts, while climatism supplies a universal, non‑electoral pretext for regulation, funding flows, and speech policing. — This reframes green politics from policy dispute to governance tactic, altering how audiences interpret climate rules, NGO influence, and elite coalition behavior.
