What does the sudden influx of Greta Thunberg hate from the little boys of the GaG Right reveal?

jealousy in the face of such courage

plain ole insecure sexism

hate because at 16, she has the respect and accolades that their "-ist" in chief will never have

she's a brave and important person, so they must feebly try to tear her down

Right-wingers are the worst people and don't need a reason

Just a hunch, but as the father of one pre-schooler and two elementary school kids I think it more than fair to say that you could not swing a dead cat in a crowded school and hit anyone who would give a fig about climate change. It is not a factor in their lives.

In fact, I interviewed my pre-school daughter, and she basically had no comment. My second - our little cuddler - said, "Oh", and went on about his new friend at school. My oldest, age 9, - whose life motto is, "Why walk around obstacles when just walk through them?" - kept remarking about how he wants to play football tomorrow - for the Redskins.

It is not a factor and because someone plants a child in front of a camera and sets about theatrically wailing and gnashing teeth is no reason to take it seriously. It is the pointless prattle of an age that prefers moral exhibitionism to the hard business of actual thought and practical action.

If some child has been terrorized by his/her parents, that is between them and child protective services. As a matter of public policy and sensible analysis it has no significance and is the illusion of seriousness.

The answer to romanticism about the idealism of youth is to recall that children are pint sized versions of the adults they criticize. Their passions are transients and their interests even more so.

Besides, as someone once said, "Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don't. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life."

Whether she was pure as the driven snow or the puppet of some nefarious powers that be is entirely irrelevant. What is rather more horrifying is that grown adults, who in theory at least should be raising children and not being raised by them, are taking this young lady with solemn seriousness and granting her, and her pre-adult compatriots, a degree of credibility that is rooted in a silly emotional romantic sentimentalism rather than a hard analysis of the data and the cost/benefit calculations that come with it.

So because she's 16, that means she's above scrutiny and criticism?

Only one problem, she's acting as a public figure and making statements to the media and world governments. You don't get to hide behind your Mommy's skirt anymore when you do that. If you want to play the big game with the big boys, you can take the big hits. Simple as.

[Agape93]

She embodies a lot of what they hate. Foreigners, minors with opinions, women with a backbone, anti trump, climate activist, time person of the year without having it faked, subject of a documentary, is NOT laughed at by the United Nations etc.

[wankiam]

yeah that too ;)

that america is the last place, apart from some areas in australia riht now, that is clinging on to the hope its all just going to fix itself and pulling more and more coal out of the ground will solve it all... thing is is almost fully accepted now in most areas of the world that climate change is not only happening but is happening faster than ever before due to human action activity but dont despair too much... at least america is talking about it now even if the conversation is mimicking those heard here in the uk 20 years ago so its a step forward in that regard

[wankiam]

it seems i found one in my downvote box lol... can't even form any words. just downvote like a little girl how ironic lol

[Anonymous]

it reveals that all hope is not lost. Not all of us fall victim to the emotional manipulation of George Soros groups thrusting children onto a global platform to spout nothing but the liberal talking points line for line. Fortunately, it's not illegal to have opinions that differ from liberal causes in the United States yet--but it's not from the liberal's lack of trying. Have fun trying to shame and insult everyone who isn't stupid enough to believe a little kid knows the truth of how to save the world, and trying to explain why she keeps abusing those same fossil fuels herself. ;)

She didn't do anything Brave or special. All she did was get in front of a camera and whine about the environment. Literally anyone can do that, so it does not, and should not award you any kind of special attention or accolades.

[Savage_Wisdom]

Want to know someone who really does deserve all this attention? Professor John McGeehan. He's a professor at the University of Portsmouth. He, and a team of fellow researchers, have discovered, and are currently studying, a bacteria which actually eats plastic. This could be a massive the forward and helping to solve The World's climate problem. When does Greta Thunberg have to bring to the table? Other than the ability to whine and complain in front of a camera of course.

Here's a URL to a news article talking about what I just told you. In case you're curious.

[esotericstory]

I can't possibly believe that the majority of left wingers actually thinks she is doing this all by herself and not the through connections her parents have built up throughout their lives. Its all just a simulation.

[Account2]

Let me look up Greta Thinberg and I'll get back to you on that.

Thunberg*

She seems like a good kid. Doing a lot more than I have for change in society, so I can't really knock her.

My guess as to why a lot of Republicans may dislike her is for the simple reason that a lot of Republicans disagree either that climate change is real or that it is a very big problem we are even causing. If that's the case, then Greta Thunberg wouldn't really be helping anything, and she would just be spouting what she's been taught, which is incorrect. In that case I can see why she wouldn't be very popular.

But I still see no reason to hate her. She's still just a kid and she's doing her best for what she believes is right. That's really impressive.

[Thatsamazing]

You mean why are stupid people stupid? Well... because they're stupid. Pretty simple, really.

[Guanfei]

She's a far leftist, actually agreeing with leftist bullshit and just use "ecology" to gain audience to spread her idea. She's also an antifa supporter.

[Gatman34]

Your trolling is weak old man

[Pamina]

They're scared.

[bangyourhead]

Very weak trolling.
