My problem.with Greta Thunberg.

As everyone knows, I am a believer in man made global warming, we are heading towards desertification and worse. It is an issue and is happening in my opinion based on facts. However, Greta Thunberg is an incredibly unfortunate spokesperson for my side, her autism and behaviour isn't a good look. I have nothing against autistic kids we've had them on this board Darth Skywalker 0 springs to mind. To be honest I said the same about him, they have no life experience and at that age you feel strongly about things for a short time, you try ideas on, to see how they fit for you. The Elephant in the room is she may or may not be being used, she certainly shouldn't be a sacred cow and tbh, who wants to hear from a kid with issues that is loving the spotlight. Her views are right, but she is so wrong.

I disagree with all of the above, except for the sacred cow bit

i mean, let's be honest - you don't get to become the speaker on the UN and political spokesperson at 16 just because you try hard; it's obvious she's connected to people who are connected to people etc.

using children for this kind of thing is just disgusting and wrong, and is used for populist emotion-inducing dramas. as somebody who's totally supporting the fight against climate destruction, i'm really sad an autistic child is used by my side

Never seen/heard her speak, so can't comment.

In fact, I don't think I knew anything much about her until Trump tried to troll her and his cultist frothed up on command.

@ Bash, fair enough mate,
@GS, I think we are on the same page
@Rob, I just don't think she's all there tbh, Greta Thunberg condemns world leaders in emotional speech at UN

https://www.theguardian.com/environ...AndroidApp_Copy

She is DarthSkywalker0, Elimist etc on a global scale.

Greta and Trump should have a battle royale

Greta with Mjölnir transforming into Thur.

Trump can Hulk up or have an IM suit or something.

Heh.. nah, Trump didn't troll her... the petulant little brat trolled the world with her ignorance. thumb up


A sixteen year old kid shouldn't be speaking at the UN for Christ sake and she shouldn't be given such a huge platform to lecture the world on something she knows nothing about. Those things she was saying she didn't come up with on her own. Her parents or teachers or whatever put those crazy things in her impressionable little head. She's been indoctrinated, not educated.

She's passionate about environmentalism and has been given the opportunity to share her concerns about the future of the planet, as well as her grievances with both government and corporate lax environmental regulations, on the world stage. That's pretty f*cking admirable, especially for someone as young as she.

I'm more annoyed by childish adults who think their deity of choice will bless them with whatever they need, believe or act like natural resources are unlimited, don't give a f*ck about what they pass on to younger and future generations, and make time out of their mundane lives to mock a child for trying to make a positive impact on the world.

My problem is that implicitly we're supposed to take children such as her and the Parkland students seriously in politics... but we're not allowed to criticize them because they're just kids. It seems more like she's being used as a propaganda tool and shield from criticism.

Criticizing her arguments or the things she says is fine (so is criticizing people using her to emotionally manipulate the public), attacking a literal child like that retard Star is doing up there is dipshit redneck behavior.

Do you really believe they're her arguments rather than the arguments she's been given by the adults around her?

Or, they are invested in finding a solution and are using the amount of attention they're receiving in the moment to push for change. That doesn't mean they're right about everything, but the most important parts of their messages either cite research data from experts, or point to successful models.

The typical dismissals are pathetic.

For example:

Parkland survivors: "[We should ban these types of weapons. They're prohibited from civilian use in Australia and these other countries, and they have very few, if any, mass shootings.]"

Murican A: "No! 2nd Amendment! Some bullshit about protection against criminals and a tyrannical government!"

Murican B: "Well, maybe, but that'll never work here. Our cultures are far too different, so we shouldn't try it at all."

Murican C: "I like guns! Guns are cool! I like guns and I feel really cool when I have a gun!"

Murican D: "Even if you take away guns, people will just find other shit to kill each other with. By the way, wasn't there a knife attack a couple of months ago?"

................

Greta Thunberg: "[My generation and future generations are f*cked unless we heed the warnings from the scientific community and make major changes to our way of living and our means of production.]"

Murican A: "She's a puppet of the left! She's spreading propaganda and fear-mongering!"

Murican B: "Well, maybe, but I'll be dead by then, so I don't care."

Murican C: " I like meat! Meat is good! I like meat and I feel really good when I eat meat!"

Murican D: "That sounds inconvenient, so I'd rather not. By the way, where are her parents? Shouldn't she be in school?"
