You May Only Fly Four Times—for the Rest of Your Life

You May Only Fly Four Times—for the Rest of Your Life

Ever heard of the new four-flight lifetime limit?

It’s real and it’s coming soon. Even scarier? Most young people support capping the number of flights a person can take over the course of their life.

At least they do in France.

That’s where a French organization surveyed citizens on whether they would support such a limit—all in the name of Climate Change. Apparently, the same country that brought us Existentialism and Champagne now wants to give us something else: widespread travel tyranny.

In 2021, its president Emmanuel Macron banned domestic flights under 2.5 hours where train travel is available. Their minister of transport, Clément Beaune, explains, “[This ban is] an essential step and a strong symbol in the policy of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Once seen as a bastion of liberty, France is moving fast to impose stricter environmental standards. And it wants to go further: “The French government has unveiled an ambitious plan to accelerate cuts to its greenhouse gas emissions, targeting a reduction of 50 percent by 2030 compared with 1990 levels.”

Now, you may be saying to yourself: that’s just France. They’re crazy over there. Surely, nothing so restrictive could happen in America. Think again. Already, 14 American cities signed on to the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group. A globalist climate group, its recently set a target of limiting air travel to 1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”

 

Folks like you and I might scoff at such a proposal. No way would people agree to such limits. Don’t be so sure they wouldn’t. And the way to get there? Seed the idea into the soil of our zeitgeist. Make people think it’s virtuous to give up traveling. This way, they will advocate for their own enslavement.

To this point, a 2021 article in The Conversation is titled Reducing Air Travel by Small Amounts Each Year Could Level Off the Climate Impact. Please read the following passage:

COVID-19 had a huge impact on the aviation sector. Air traffic is still approximately 10-20% below pre-pandemic levels but is rebounding quickly. Politicians should shift subsidies from flying to more sustainable modes of transport, such as train journeys… Lockdowns and the shift to remote working made many people rethink the necessity of flying. People resolving to fly less can contribute considerably to reducing the number of unnecessary flights. Combining in-person and virtual attendance in hybrid meetings wherever possible is a great way to support that shift.

At the same time “think-pieces” such as the above are appearing in

leading journals offering the carrot to get people to change their behavior—virtuous feelings—there are stick efforts underway to get people to stop flying.

And they are just as insidious. Excuse me. I mean clever.

Ever wonder why air travel is so bad these days? Maybe there’s a reason.

Another cultural tastemaker—this time, NPR—is reporting on the issue.

In 2023, they produced a piece on how awful it is to take to the (once) friendly skies: “Do you remember when air travel was glamorous, exciting, even fun? No? Me neither. Long lines, uncomfortable seats, overpriced food or none—but there was a time when flying wasn't like this.”

Zooming out, it can be hard to connect the dots of technofascism. It first requires us to realize there are few accidents. Things happen for a reason. For years, schools taught our youngsters to believe we have a climate crisis. Meanwhile, the media amplifies this message, conditioning the youth to advocate for their own enslavement in order to be a “good person.”

Now, all it will take to get such legislation passed in France or America is another crisis to prove the need for such governmental intervention. We just came out of COVID-19—which did so much for the globalists’ agenda.

The new question is: what will they do next to get us to give up air travel?
