Social Greta Thunberg Megathread

[Jorge Luis Borges]

The little you write says a lot about you as a person. So much hatred that you might one day murder a climate scientist, a muslim or a woman with a penis.

Women don't have penises.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Thunberg is a latter day Nongqawuse.

Not a fan of the Greta hysteria going around in europe atleast. As a swede, Im pretty sick of hearing about her (although I must say that noone ever brought up her mother. She is never mentioned in any of the news Ive ever seen. That was actually news to me). Although it is fun seeing some of the rightist posters here get triggered by her.

That said, your post will be ignored in the thread
Too much inconvenient facts. Ridiculus untruthful and unfounded claims are always prefered whenever possible.

She doesn't seem to have made any real impact on the news cycle in the Anglosphere. Although when I searched for the name there were plenty of hits amongst the "climate skeptic" attack dogs like Andrew Bolt and Anthony Watts, who have fixated on her.
Then again my personal news feed is heavily slanted towards science and policy over populism.
It's stories like Greta's that'll typically get all the coverage though.
I have a friend who works for our science media advisory group, and getting our general media to report on science accurately and contact the relevant experts in the field, instead of just the loudest and most sensationalist cranks that'll discuss a topic, takes a nation wide agency of science communicators (actually I think there's multiple agencies).

Don't be daft, he's talking about murdering a climate scientist, muslim, or woman using a penis as a weapon.

Cause of death: fatal gaping.

I don't know who "he" is who is saying these things, because I didn't see any such comment. For the record, I'm against the murder of scientists, Muslims, and women/men pretending to be women. None of this changes the simple fact that men who want to transition to being women are not women and women who want to transition to being men are not men.

Women don't have penises.. Men do. It wasn't people that were/are democrats that decided guys in drag were now women, because in 1995 98% of dems would have said that's complete craziness; that means the shift was created and forced as social engineering.

Resist

I think understanding it's a real mental illness and that treating them terribly for their condition is the wrong thing to do was far enough. No men who dress like women should be abused for it, and teaching kindness in general covers that.

Great. Maybe she can represent you at Eurovision?

It couldn't be worse than when a politician from my town tried to persuade the IOC membership to give Sweden the Winter Olympics in 2026 by singing (this despite that the ruling Green Party in Sweden says that there will be no white winters at that time)...

Ah well, there's worse national stereotypes.
Funnily enough Greta's mum did apparently represent you at Eurovision.

What the fuck would she know that a scientist doesn't?

 

[forum poster]

I have a hell of a lot of respect for the younger generation of climate change activists. This Vice video was good.

 

[JDragon]

Well, I'd never heard of her.

She is an actual mainstream media sensation here. A headline every other day.

If I'm to be believed? Who cares what i have to say. But if Ben Franklin is to be believed:

"Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth."

It's a good thing to have a close friend to the family that runs a PR-firm.

She can see an invisible gas in the atmosphere

Huh

Ulf Kirsten was nicknamed "der Schwatte" , being dark is relativ. Dark/swarthy = none blond back in the day.

Back when I was in school people would have laughed at calling the Greeks at our school "white". The definition of white has branched out considerably since.
