It’s not ironic at all if you realise the fact that the vast majority of western ‘greens’ are not true-greens but show-greens.
True-greens care about the environment and don’t care too much about politics or optics and prefers substance over empty rhetoric.
Show-greens are inherently narcissistic snobs who only acts like they care about the environment to score superiority complex points so they get to look down their noses at others, but are usually so entitled and spoilt that they damage the environment many times more than the average person from their lavish lifestyles.
A very easy litmus test to see what kind of green you are dealing with is to seek their views on nuclear energy and public transportation like rail.
True-greens will be all for both, while show-greens will be vehemently against both at an almost instinct level, even if they themselves struggle to truly understand, never mind articulate why. Instead just expect the mindless regurgitate of your typical western propaganda talking points about how ‘dangerous’ nuclear is with ‘mountains’ of nuclear waste produced, and how public transport is communist and inefficient.
If you look at the track record of the choices German ‘Greens’, it’s abundantly clear what kind of ‘green’ they truly are.
Once you make that realising, than it’s incredibly obvious why German show-greens hate China so much - China’s success breaks their entire belief system and worst of all, proves them wrong. If you ever had to deal with a show-green in real life, you will know how much they absolutely hate being proven wrong and will usually take that personally and mark you down as an enemy for having the audacity to show them up like that.
