The cult of Greta Thurnberg

[Blimey]

I can say truly I had never heard of this girl until a day or two ago in another video posted to the forum. Apparently she's the darling of climate change proponents at this time. She is a 16 year old, so obviously she's a voice of experience in any sort of complex matter.

Anyway, she was invited to give a speech at the UN.


She isn't a fan of Trump, and he trolled her after the speech over twitter.

I then looked her up and found this article from April:
The cult of Greta Thunberg

There is something chilling and positively pre-modern about Ms Thunberg. One can imagine her in a sparse wooden church in the Plymouth Colony in the 1600s warning parishioners of the hellfire that will rain upon them if they fail to give up their witches.

She seems unhinged to me and, more, it's tragic that circumstances conspired to turn a 16 year old into this: a pedagogic, deeply unhappy child. I admire teens putting attention to topics beyond their hydroflasks and video games, but she looks already a highly polarized tool of extremism.

Anybody noticing a modus operandi of the left? They seem to like throwing kids out into the forefront. Perhaps it’s psychology, “oh look this innocent kid says we need to ban guns/tackle climate change/ect”
Idk people take the opinions of a 16 year old Swede so seriously

Setting aside being used as a puppet for a political agenda, this girl is a bit creepy. She could play a role on the shining as one of those twins in the hallway or the red or white queen on resident evil or something.

The vid in this thread @Podmonkey expands on the infantile mentality and behavior of the Maoists and their use of children. The infantile leftist mind

She looks half mongoloid. Why are 16 yr olds even listened to about anything? What? Don't have an actual scientist expert??? Ah, just throw a 16yr old girl actress up there to lecture all the adults about it.

This is flat out fucking hilarious!

And ill say that i actually admire the factvthat she wants to be an active participant , but shes misguided. And adults typically dont like being lectured and ridiculed by a child. She has the wrong approach and shes being manipulated by people like Soros, thats why i find that picture so freaking funny.

 

[Catskillkid]

It's clear to me that she is being manipulated, and probably for a long time. Most likely her parents are eco-crazies who are using her to get fame and fortune for themselves. I've also heard that Soros is funding pretty much all of her activities (it's not cheap to sail across the Atlantic) so anything she says/does is suspect. She also has either Asperger's or is on the Autism spectrum. While people with those conditions can be incredibly smart, they can also be easily manipulated. Dollars to donuts that's what's happening here.

It's pretty sad that we can't listen to actual experts in the field of climatology talk about what is legitimately a complex and multifaceted topic. Instead we have to listen to a teenager spew vile. Vile that isn't pushing liberty, but collectivism (shocking I know).

For what it's worth, I don't like anyone telling me what to do and I especially don't like children with no real world life experience telling me what to do.

Common core socialist indoctrination, leadership that hides behind it's children.

Labeling of someone as having an "illness" as an explaination diminishes their choices, and by extension their freedom to choose. It takes away their agency. The left uses this to great effect as a weapon against gun owners, to limit ownership of anyone labeled with a mental illness. I really don't give a damn what people have, problems wise. I just care about the words coming out of their mouth, and the choices they make / can make.

That aside, I think we should all be highly suspect whenever an emotional appeal is being made. Not because the appeal isn't valid -- if anything, I'm probably more pro-conservation of nature than most people on this forum -- but because appealing to emotion is generally used as a smokescreen to mask a weak reasoning. We should be extra critical.

Yesterday there was some talk on Fox news that she is autistic and has obsessive compulsive disorders of some sort. This is is apparently mentioned in a book her "mother" wrote. May be pure b.s., but looking at the kid I do wonder.

Another article indicated she has had some mental health issues along with her sister, and likened her current fame to child abuse by her parents.

Frankly, she looked enraged at the beginning of her talk, blaming everybody for losing her childhood, as if she had spent her childhood in a sulfuric gas hell scape because of capitalist policy. She later lays out a condition for never forgiving those who have done it. I think she has a very bright future as leader of an authoritative party that deals with opposition through violence.

Were she not 16 she would probably be dismissed as a wacko, even by the left. But since she is a child they feel her age shields her from criticism. Already Trump has been accused of bullying her. Poor little kid. Meanwhile we are supposed to excuse her blaming the world as a whole for unforgivable, shameful acts.

She also has either Asperger's or is on the Autism spectrum.

She has self reported that she has Autism (ASD) and Aspergers. Her behavior is out line with other young adults I know who deal with ASD (who are optimistic about life and staunchly conservative) so I am not sure if ASD has any bearing on her anger, feeling left out, or the politically incorrect questions of her "something is off" appearance / behavior. I blame her parents and handlers taking advantage.
