Social Greta Thunberg Megathread

[flashNsmash]

Fetal-alcoholism, congential disorder 16 year old Greta, the potato-head Thunberg is a lying, shilling pawn.

i think there may have been a finn in the woodpile if i'm being honest

People are talking about it so it can't be that ineffective.

Talk is cheap

 

[all caps]

Disturbing amount of people that dont care about the children in here.

 

[Stoic1]

Parents doing a great job scripting her.

2 thumbs up for the $$$.

Her and David Hogg are both trending which is so fitting.

She'll no doubt get accepted by Harvard too, with the new Hogg standard. She seems as devoted to her studies as him.

Still can't figure out how David Hogg managed to graduate when he missed his entire final semester. You are required by law to have a certain number of credits to receive a diploma and no way in hell did he do that fairly.

 

[KeepItRealist]

She needs to sail to India and China if this is about making a difference in climate change.

She needs to lecture Prince Harry instead.

Interesting speech none the less. He is very well spoken but ultimately says almost nothing at all, he will make a great politician some day. I loved that last statement of his, "Conserveratism is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights". I think the term he is looking for there liberalism.

iirc, he grew up and rejected a lot of his previously held conservative stances, particularly in social issues

Talk is cheap

I'd rate it above doing nothing and burying your head in the sand though.

Thoughts? They just seem like pawns. MSNBC is interviewing a girl who has been an "activist" for two years now....she's 11.

Edit: I just want to add that I don't mean this to be an attack thread. It just comes across as insanity watch the media and world leaders fawning over their "wisdom".

On one hand, using children to protest something is often seen as a cynical appeal to emotion. I've seen churches that bus kids to protest abortion clinics on their spring breaks, for instance.
On the other hand, children are going to be disproportionately affected by climate issues, and it makes perfect sense for someone her age to be an activist on behalf of it.
16 y/o activists are nothing new, the only thing that makes her stand out is the amount of coverage she is getting compared to other kids her age.

All in all, I think she's got an important message, she walks the walk, and she's making the right enemies. The world need more people who give a shit about things, not people that tear them down because they want to ignore the problem.

I personally blame the sun for making the world warmer and when it gets cold I blame jack frost.

Sad how easily triggered right wing snowflakes get over outspoken girls.

Literally Hitler!

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Ugh, script did not include a tear or two.

Based on this clip alone, I hate her.

The left is using this young girl as pawn and she is obviously being brainwashed into saying whatever her parents and handlers want. It’s even more obvious when you realize she’s autistic. The left don’t care though, the ends justify the means for them. Shit is really cringe when you see how these goofs reply to this topic here

They just won’t learn. I spoke about it in the other thread about this young lady. The end result is it doesn’t matter how much you recycle and try to do well for the environment, they simply want your money to liquify and fix the ozone! Like I always say please give me a call when China and India are on board otherwise we ain’t doing shit but throwing rocks at a train

 

[TheBlondBomber]

Would you like it if a 16 year old version of yourself started lecturing? Would it change your mind if you sprinkled in a touch of autism with B movie acting?

 

[JimmyFresno]

She sounds like a kid who is pissed off at their parents for not letting her go to the mall.

"You have taken my dreams! No one understands me!" as she stomps off to her room.

Keep it, Greta, and you will lose your phone privileges.

Most Sherdogger who are shilling for big oil Sherdog is the last place I would look for intelligent discussion. The level of distortion about the climate debate an their pro Trump ideology this place is one of the last places I would look. Most pro oil people are on Sherdog that I have seen. that being said they are like a cancer spreading hate on all things EV.

Just to give you and idea of the maturity of these followers of all things big oil is this dirt bag move. They act far younger children then Greta an most of her supporters. These are the ones being exploited for big oil greed. This happened during a cars and coffee event in New York. Blocking all Tesla charging stalls.

I was listening to the radio the other day and they were talking about Greta and touched on her having aspergers. People were phoning in talking about their personal experiences with aspergers and one thing I found interesting is that people with aspergers will be totally focused and driven when it comes to a subject they feel strongly about. In the case with Greta she's totally focused and driven when it comes to climate change and nothing wiill stop her.

Greta Thunberg responds to Asperger's critics: 'It's a superpower'

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

It's all about mass psychology. Same reason celebrities are used to sell things, you need a 'hook' into an audience.

so yes, obviously a pawn with a large machine behind her who see her as useful. An intermediary, or conduit, between the machine and the populations.

But even if these mechanisms are used on the populations, it doesn't necessarily mean it's all bad or wrong, but manipulative for sure. Like, if there was some global movement for people to eat less junk food and celebrities and random children were used, I'd still generally agree with it.

Of course the machines behind people like this usually have their own motives.

She's a child who is deeply anxious about her future and feels betrayed by the adults elected to ensure a livable world for her generation to inherit. She is also courageous and eloquent in ways that is rare for girls of her age. Especially with her Asperger's.

You guys should feel embarrassed at yourselves for concocting these ulterior motives and conspiracy theories to her JUSTIFIABLE protests against the DNB's that are the world's "leadership".

 

[TheBlondBomber]

She talked about people dying because of climate change. Is that hyperbole or are people actually dying because the planet is one degree warmer?
