Greta!

Bursts onto the world scene and cuts right to core myth, the fairy tale of eternal economic growth:

Too many world leaders, like Trump, would rather keep feeding the fairy tale with fossil fuels than face the fact that such actions are accelerating climate change.

Damn it's good to see a young leader cut through all the crap.

In yet one more incidence of "Extraordinary Popular Delusions And The Madness Of Crowds" it's come to this:

morons are actually giving credence to the pronouncements of an obviously disturbed 16-year old girl.
​

"...Thunberg says, at 11 years old, she became depressed and stopped talking and eating.

GRETA: Later on, I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, OCD and selective mutism...

GRETA: We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground. And we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, then maybe we should change the system itself.

BRADY (NPR): Thunberg has critics. Some have been cruel, even referring to her mental health issues... Andrew Bolt called Thunberg, quote, "the deeply disturbed messiah of the global warming movement."



​

Naturally, the media has fallen for the publicity stunt notwithstanding the palpably ludicrous idiocy.

[adrina]

Speaking of ludicrous idiocy....

 

[Dribble]

The good news...Republicans grow old and die and are replaced by kids w brains. Of course, these same Republicans dont give a shit cause they only care about themselves. Tick tock...

 

[trysail]

I just watched Greta's speech to the United Nations. I'd never seen her speak before so I thought I'd take a gander.


That's the funniest goddamned thing I've seen in years.


That girl is obviously nutty as a fruitcake. She's an out-and-out loony.

... I'm already tired of the little snot.

 

[trysail]

I hope the media keeps broadcasting the tape of Greta's speech.


The more people who see it, the more people will realize that the girl is an out-and-out nutjob.

Man made climate change is a hoax perpetuated on the American people by the elite globalist, and the liberal sheep are being led astray to their slaughter.

She is going to be in Congress before she is 26.

get used to the idea.

I'm sure she's a nice kid, but she lacks the maturity to handle this level of exploitation.

Lol..

Tick tock. Keep talking shit Republicans. In a few short years, you will be gone from this planet and become worm food. And we will pick up the pieces you leave behind.

This is the reason that Democrats suck at both economics and demographics. All of your projections are based on a static world where you get to control the variables.

Human brains are not fully developed until mid 20s. That has a lot to do with why young people are so easily impressionable and easy to indoctrinate. At some point reality becomes apparent to them. This is why progressive activism towards an imaginary utopia in one's youth and sensible conservatism as one ages is not some kind of new phenomenon. Today's Republicans were yesterday's indoctrinated and uneducated idealists.

Along the same lines don't count on the racist idea that the changing racial demographics makes Democrats inevitably more influential. For that to be true you have to assume the same level of dependency in those communities that exist today. You assume that they're never going to become successful people chafing at government constraints.

Hmmm.....well, THAT would explain THIS...

Youre too beta.
Now that im single it is surpringly easy to attract women 1/2 my age like every man's porno fantasy....so rules of attraction work....

I'd still trade in a couple of 23 year olds for having my family
intact again...

Whether or not you agree with her point of view, young people being passionate about making a better world is a good thing. It's when they give up on the world and aspire to nothing more than the next fix that I despair.

She's young, naive, primarily communicating in a second language, and autistic. Anyone making personal attacks on the kid needs punching in the throat. Repeatedly.

 

[suurfer]

I have no issue with her, I have an issue with her handlers.
She's being treated like a puppet - used to promote some agenda.

Typical Mao-ist tactic.

Luke is talking sense!

She’s a pawn, nothing more.

No that's the gerrymandering courtpacking accepting-aid-from-our-enemies Republicans.

Ironically, they're so scared of losing white power today's Republicans are virtually guaranteeing those kids will not grow up into conservatives. Putting brown kids in cages, shithole countries, fucking over Puerto Rico, having no people of color in their party--that's what today's kids will remember.

Obviously disturbed?

People who are "obviously disturbed" are generally marked by having inappropriate emotional responses. You might think someone crying hysterically is disturbed, but if they'd just been told their mother had died it would be an appropriate emotional reaction. If you saw someone walking down the street, laughing out loud, you might think them disturbed, but if their besty is telling them a joke it becomes a normal reaction.
Getting depressed when you reach an age where autism begins to impact your ability to relate to people around you is disturbed behaviour? That's an appropriate emotional reaction. She was diagnosed, she came to terms, she recovered.

Using an 11yo child's diagnosis experience as dirt is low.
