The schlimate crazies in America only care about the issue up to a certain point. The poors will signal their virtue on Twitter. Elitists will fly their private jets to lecture you about your gas stoves. No one truly commits to the gimmick. Overseas, they legit think the world is ending and are responding with some of the finest performative slacktivism this side of George Floyd influencers.

Before you get to this viral video, I did some journalisming while I wait for my neighborhood Memorial Day parade to start. Let's Dance is a Swedish dance reality show, kinda like America's Dancing with the Stars. Charlotte Kalla (the finalist) is a retired cross-country skier. And "Återställ Våtmarker" means "Restore Wetlands." Got all that?

Now watch the boom camera operator take this dinkus out.

Take your Wetlands and stick them up your nose, soyboy! These are the finals!

What I'd like to know is if this was a rogue camera operator, or if a director told him to do it. "Boom, swing down on my mark 3...2...1...make that schmuck unconcious!"

Though for the sake of allowing both sides of an argument, I can understand why the enviro-wackos might be resorting to more desperate measures. Nothing else seems to work. Motorists are fed up when you block traffic.

Crazy gluing yourself to concrete does nothing but get your hand removed the hard way.

Destroying priceless works of art is too highbrow for modern society. All that's left is to go low-brow and try to interrupt a reality television show. Silly, because people care about reality TV. If the boom operator didn't knock the guy out, security and a gaggle of angry choreographers would have handled business themselves.
