The UK's Most Prominent Lib Outlet Keeps Trying to Make the Phrase 'Petro-Masculinity' Happen, Publishes Yet Another Article About Fake Climate Trend

Aside from the Americans and Japanese, few countries have done more for making automobiles reliable, cheap, and fun as the United Kingdom.

They gave us arguably the most fun economy car of all time, the original Mini. They gave us the most beautiful car ever made, the Jaguar E-Type, The Beatles gave us arguably the best non-Beach Boys road song of all time, “Drive My Car.”

They gave us James Bond and his missile-armed Aston Martins or submarine Lotus Esprits. Even when their car industry had turned to rubbish, they gave us the greatest automotive television trio of the 21st century: Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond, the blokes behind “Top Gear” and “The Grand Tour.”

You’re going to say the Germans did more? Please. Try driving an original VW Beetle, inarguably the most overrated car of all time even before you factor in its Nazi connections. Their idea of a good driving song is Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn,” which is considerably less fun than being on the actual autobahn with one of those 25-horsepower original VW Beetles.

They’ve given us Michael Schumacher and massive BMW repair bills. Give me a Mini, a winding road, and “Rubber Soul” on the stereo any day of the week.

But after giving so much to the automobile, Britain is turning against it — or, at least, lefty Britain is. And while activists throwing paint on Stonehenge and soup on Van Goghs in London museums to protest oil use is one kind of ridiculousness, that can be dismissed as the fringes. The U.K. Guardian, I wish, could be dismissed thusly — but the lefty rag is one of the most important publications in the English-speaking world, sadly.

And it’s really trying to make the phrase “petro-masculinity” happen.

For the second time this year, the outlet has run a piece about this supposed phenomenon, this time by a performative male annoyance by the name of George Monbiot, who was given space for an opinion piece last Thursday: “Driving that’s too fast, too dangerous and utterly lawless: why do we tolerate this petro-masculinity?”

Beats me. What’s “petro-masculinity?” Well, per Monbiot, it’s “SUVs and pickup trucks driven without care or conscience” and “the MAGAfication of transport.”

The term, explained in the Guardian’s first “petro-masculinity” think-piece back in April for Earth Day, is actually an invention of political science academic Cara Daggett. It, Andrew Boyd wrote in that slice of fatuousness, “describes a pernicious fusion between fossil fuel use, climate change denial, and defense of authoritarian white patriarchal masculinity.”

For most people, petro-masculinity dramatically erupted into public view during the 2022 Twitter/X showdown between manosphere bully Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg.
