They are so easily triggered

It’s incredible

In fairness, the entire right wing movement is based entirely on feelings

She's been getting criticism from all around, it's by no means just from the right.

She's a 16 year old teenager...

Fuck it, we should try her as an adult

She's also a public speaker, what's the problem with criticizing her? Why place so much attention on her rather than people who have actually made some progress in cleaning up environments like boyan slat?

Rich teenager enabled by her parents. Wtf were most people doing at 16? Lol you might not agree with some of the underlying politics, but I don't really get the hate

Yeah the "ruined childhood" stuff is cringe. Youre a rich white girl

Never said I hated her either

firstly, it's a differnet issue

cleaning up the ocean and climate change are two different things

both important, Boyan just wasn't a media fiend

I feel sorry for Greta if she doesn't grow into a hot young woman, the memes will be tragic

"What leftism does to young women" Greta at 16 versus 26 if she's fat

Who exactly is "bringing attention" to it though? Like, she's popular because... she's popular. Her weird face and ability to trigger the hell out of right wingers and conspiracy theorists probably did the trick

later part is only reason

just like the florida shooting kid

he only got popular because the 'facts dont care about your feelings' crowd got triggered

Doesn't really matter, news stations should have reported more on ocean clean ups progress, as there's not much information to gain from Greta thurnburg because it is just the same rhetoric about climate change (note the difference between rhetoric and information on the subject).

do you believe in thermodynamics?

Yes and that is irrelevant in this conversation

rhetoric versus information, says you sir

there is no way around it

So you believe the apocalyptic proclamations of the earth will end in 12 years along with climate change being caused by "racism" and "patriarchy" is *not* rhetoric?

It's not that the earth will END in 12 years, it's that we might pass a point of no return and won' tbe able to adjust downward because of rate of entropy reduction

How do you justify this as being information that's not simply being pushed to inflame the issue rather than actually create a discussion?

racism and patriarchy are definitely part of the rational behind 'ignoring' it, for sure

part of it is a fear of de-tuning the west, and not necessarily vis-a-vis 'brown countries' either

the police state needs gas

scientists have been trying to 'create discussion' since i've been alive

some people are either totally obstinate or they are really dumb and cannot comprehend what the laws of thermodynamics mean in a mostly 'one way' system like earth

It's beyond doubt that some groups are DEFINITELY fighting reality on it, for selfish goals

the original "ok, boomer"

Ok niggger

Cobra, I agree that there are other people actually "doing stuff" that deserve lots of attention. I understand not liking that this rich girl travels around not really getting her hands dirty and being seen as some heroic figure. But she's polarizing and people actually pay attention to her. If others could get as much attention, the media would be focusing on them

They don't a fuck about 'she's taking attention away from other, more deserving people'

I think the situation itself is dumb, but as they say - don't hate the player, hate the game

Niggger gay

the call came down from on high to hate Greta, and it filtered down to the foot soldiers who don't know anything anything
