Well she's 17 today your right she can't play the school child card for much longer. I wonder will she go back or will some woke University just hand her a degree. I'd love to know her and her parents net worth before and after her strike. Her ad revenue alone must have made her a millionaire.

Still fully focused on attacking a child I see. Stay classy.


It was good to see her talking to the great David Attenborough. Like a symbolic passing of a torch. They've both done so much to highlight the issue of man made climate change.

golly the threshold for "attacking" varies wildly depending on people's predisposition, eh

The Birthday thing was all over social media. Funny that anyone commenting on it in anything other than saccharine sentiment is 'attacking'. But hey that's not new

The hyperbole and symbolism is just too much imo. Sir David - Uks 'National Treasure' is definitely someone who plays to an audience. His reporting of the polar bears alledgedly committing suicide is a case in point, but sadly not the only incident tbh

I see the Orwell reference but he was a good writer, this poster not so much. Pass on the video thanks as there are already enough YouTube experts and opinions to sink a fleet of oil tankers! Avoiding YouTube is fast becoming my NY resolution! :P

You're missing out there::(

Lysander Spooner University is the world's first truly anti-government university. Founded in 2014 by Roger Roots, the University has sponsored numerous classes, symposia, speaking events, and scientific expeditions. The University is named for the great libertarian-anarchist writer, scholar, entrepreneur and lawyer Lysander Spooner.

On the Orwell thing I think someone else said "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"!
I have to wonder if they could not update sign for > 10 years because they were starved of funds? (perhaps hatred and mistrust of government that seems to have embedded itself in the US like a worm inside an apple could be related)?

Any chance you can turn that cryptic crossword clue into a properly formed English sentence? Save the rest of us having to face yet another YouTube video telling it like it is!

Not cryptic to people who read books apart from Al Gore's.

Then again, hyper-emotionalism is the exclusive stock and trade of the climate cultists. So it was wrong of me to expect you to be beyond that of a photo of a skinny polar bear on a chunk of ice. My apology.

If I want to read Orwell I know where to go thanks and it's certainly not one of your posts.

That's OK. You're still learning to write joined up sentences. Sometimes it's hard to get a sequence of words that make sense but keep trying.

The video stuff? Really don't feel I am. I find I increasingly prefer reading over a lot of the self-indulgent drivel that YouTube spawns on a lot of topics.

Sorry, was being sarcastic (about that specific video from "the world's first truly anti-government university") there!:o

That kid is certainly obsessed with her public profile. So someone didn't know who she is and she changes her Twitter handle by way of response - wtf? Lord save us but reckon she needs a hobby or something...

There's a very smart team behind that page (the previous tagline in reference to Trump's comments etc)

In order to promote gretas social media ratings

It is the kind of "clever" response that unthinking denizens of social media love.

Personally i believe only 8 of the nine pictured would be justified in making the 'stolen childhood' claim. Just my opinion though.

No original thought from her, she mimics and reads her lines. Look at the interviews where she’s asked questions and has to go off her prepared script, nothing but ums and ehs and she asks other people to answer for her.

It’s Pop-climate-alarmism.

I said it in a different thread how it’s pretty much other weirdos running her life for her, and people are too thick to realise it. She’s just a pawn in it all. It’s weird

I still believe that there is a lot at play in Ms Thunberg's head that most of us,and particularly her close team of handlers,remain unwilling to admit to.

This opinion piece from the NYT makes a couple of interesting points on the issue of Ms Thunberg's campaign.....

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/02/opinion/climate-change-greta-thunberg.html

Ms. Thunberg is a complicated adolescent. Intellectually, she is precocious and subtle. She reasons like a well-read but dogmatic student radical in her 20s. Physically, she is diminutive and fresh-faced, comes off as younger than her years, and frequently refers to herself as a “child” — about the last thing the average 16-year-old would ever do.

Tell me about it !!!! :rolleyes:
