There are of course numerous ways in which the flopsies kill people.
- Among the most recent are the efforts of NGOs funded by the European Union to prevent the use of insecticides in Africa. This has caused a massive plague of locusts, and hence famine.
- Coronavirus lockdown inevitably causes massive damage to economies, and will inevitably mean that, in the years to come, governments will inevitably be less able to afford to offer free healthcare.
- The antinuclear power movement means more expensive domestic electricity. In Japan, for example, the shutdown of the nuclear industry following the Fukushima incident has caused massive electricity price increases, and hence cost many lives of those who have been unable to afford to heat their homes properly.
- Similarly, the climate change lobby is especially damaging to Third World regions in stifling the deployment of affordable power generation. People die, not least, because they are forced to continue to cook their food indoors using dung and other unsuitable materials as fuel sources.
The common factor, of course, is that the deaths are always indirect consequences; the flopsies rarely have to watch their victims suffer and die. And when they do, they will persuade themselves that someone else is to blame.
