Greta Thunberg

[GIBURROWS]

How he hasn't been charged is beyond me and how the middle East pay him to do whatever it is he does after all the issues he caused is mind boggling.

The Nobel peace prize is a joke. Look at the people who have got one or been put forward for one (like Tony Blair) :/

I was about to say, everyone and their dog gets a Nobel peace prize these days. And most of the time the recipient in the last few years have been inappropriate

Which people from the last few years?

Which people from the last few years?

Barack Obama when he was only a few months in office, i went WTF? Lets see what he does first. But they rushed to pin that medal on him as quickly as they could

The EU, i kid you not

Juan Manuel Santos, **** that guy, ignoring a referendum where it was an overwhelming No and making a deal with FARC anyway, these ******** needed to roast for what they did to Colombia and they got away scot-free. This was is a bit more personal as it effected my family.

Well she now has something in common with Hitler they both have been put forward for a Noble Peace Prize (both cases are a joke IMO), I wonder what Adolf would think of today's PC world.

Well he might not be happy with the 'PC world' but isnt that the point. As people keep mentioning about how they fought a war to stop the nazis surely it would be a good thing that he wouldnt like it now. Im sure he would feel right at home in this thread though.

If the bitterness shown in this thread was aimed at the right place (governments) then the world might actually be a better place and you lot wouldnt be so ******* miserable.

So you would call the Tories and the LibDems "Nazis" then?

Im saying just to be safe.

2 people from the last decade doesnt sound too bad! But I agree Santos is shady, sorry to hear about it effecting your family. Obama, I just don't know, seems alright but I still do not understand what he needed all them hotdogs for!

Let me guess, you are in favour of Britain crashing out of the EU on the basis of an "overwhelming" vote in favour of the Country's committing suicide

No Brexit chat in here you naughty boy.

 

[Threepwood]

No Brexit chat in here you naughty boy.

Why not? Brexit has taken so much blooming time and energy that could have been much much much better spent of things like sustainability... We're a known quantity island, stuff like it should be easy for us... but noooooooo, lets spends years being utterly divided instead!

I'm surprised he didn't use "fascist" or "nazi".

Why not?

Because some people tend to get overly emotive about it all, better to contain their rantings in an SC thread - Stockhausen occasionally leaks into GD though.

You are easily surprised aren't you?
Perhaps you should get out more and join the 21st Century - a bit like Greta Thunberg.

I am like Greta, well in terms of taking care of the environment, not so much the autism and angry shouting at people. I do get the impression you're perhaps the opposite!

 

[Tuppy_Glossop]

I am like Greta

Good self-awareness.

 

[dowie]

Good self-awareness.

Do you like Greta?

(if you answer no you're a "nazi" btw..)

 

[Tuppy_Glossop]

I admire the way she triggers so many people.

 

[dowie]

I admire the way she triggers so many people.

But not the environmental aspect? I mean that’s the important thing here yet you answer re: the superficial - why?

 

[StriderX]

Because the criticism is superficial, the critics don't care about the substance in any event, so why even try? Much more enjoyable to just ad hominem until someone gets tired. You could say that people should ignore that, but that's no fun.

 

[Tuppy_Glossop]

I don't think her environmental position is unique or particularly nuanced. The way she talks about it and how people react is more interesting in my opinion.

 

[dowie]

Because the criticism is superficial, the critics don't care about the substance in any event, so why even try?

Well that is rather flawed, I'd certainly not suppose that all critics of hers don't care about the environment.

Much more enjoyable to just ad hominem until someone gets tired. You could say that people should ignore that, but that's no fun.

I'm not saying people should ignore that though, I would say though that if the first thing that springs to mind re: whether you like Greta is that you admire how she triggers people then you have your priorities wrong.
