People have been melting down in my facebook feed all day over this girl... calling her mentally ill, implying that she's being abused by her parents, and-- perhaps most confusing-- associating her with both Nazis and "globalists."

It's a tacit confession that they have no intellectual response to a 16 year-old girl.

Someone needs to give climate change a firm talking to.

"Never seen so much hatred in someone so young"

There's more than one way to read that statement.

Basically all platforms across Conservative social media have been having a collective meltdown over this girl the last two days. Be it on their own Facebook or Twitter pages, or specific subs like The_Donald, or places like r/Conspiracy and other similar places, every single one of them is completely losing it and throwing all sorts of shit(and lame ass garbage memes) against the wall in an attempt to discredit her.

Because they are that much of corporate bootlickers and need to support big corporate oil business, while at the same time acting like there's a "Deep State!" she's a part of that's not part of this big corporate oil business...or something. I don't know, it's confusing and really lame.

From the Atlantic:

Unlike other young climate activistssuch as members of the Sunrise Movement in the United States, which is led by college students and early 20-somethingsshe rejects specific policy proposals such as the Green New Deal, instructing politicians instead to listen to the science. She has even declined to endorse a specific platform in the European Union, where her Fridays for Future movement has taken hold. When I asked how other teenagers should fight climate change, she said, They can do everything. There are so many ways to make a difference.

... such as?

I'd like to hear some concrete proposals on how to fight climate change that we aren't already doing. Electric car sales are the highest they've ever been last year, and the charging infrastructure is actually struggling to keep up.

Don't say "vote out Donald Trump" because everyone already either wants to do that or doesn't. Climate isn't going to sway anyone on this.

No one believes this after you guys repeatedly have ignored what actual scientists have said about the issues. You can't now suddenly pretend "Oh, you guys never actually SAID anything and if it was from someone respected we'd now listen" when you've given zero indication of that mentality in the past.

Save your bullshit for stuff that's not so transparently false.

Nice tribalism there. I really like how you just assume what I do or don't believe based on what I think of Greta Thunberg

Oh, and no policy proposals from you either as expected.

She's lucky she doesn't have the Hitler stash

i seriously doubt anyone in this topic is qualified enough to make any policy proposals. same goes to any of the policy makers, which is why she is telling them to actually listen to the scientists that ARE qualified in that subject instead of thinking with their bank accounts.

At least I haven't seen anyone wanting to kill them like the parkland kids

Oh who am I kidding, i'm sure theres plenty of posts about that out there

Why isn't anyone pointing out how she hilariously paused every few words?

You'd think she was William Shatner's daughter.

This here is why she's the face of this. Kids are immune to criticism.

She also has aspergers so i dunno if making fun of the way she talks is very appropriate

Aren't monks supposed to be chill?

It's amazing how difficult it is for the alt-right to say "I disagree with her politics." instead of just attacking her as a person? Even if someone disagrees with everything she's saying, the personal attacks on her are disgusting.

Also, I guarantee that she's a better orator than a lot of people who are twice her age, so that's definitely a pretty damn weird angle of attack to take.

I'm WhiteKnightLeo.

Anyway the Earth goes through cycles and ice ages happen. There are deserts that used to be lakes or jungles and vice versa. People going on about doomsday shit has that kid visibly afraid.

I remember people saying that by the year 2000, the population was going to be so insanely packed that everywhere would be crowded. There were people who worried about that too.

Really lays bare how pathetic their entire position is, imo
