I've been reading some other forums elsewhere on the topic of Greta Thunberg and it really blows me away how many people express what to my ears sounds like sheer hatred for her having the gall to want to make the world a better, safer place. It's like their saying, "Shut up, kid, and leave us alone! We were having fun (and as a direct result, fucking up the planet) until you came along!" And I notice a lot of the times these voices of hatred are coming from people who are older, set in their ways, not wanting to have to make any changes, not wanting their party interrupted. That's just so weird to me. Weren't we all going, "Give peace a chance", "Save the Redwoods", "Save the whales" and such not all that many years ago? Yes, we were.

I was shocked to see elderly women being nasty towards her on Facebook.

It's sad that a group of violent activists took a term which should be inherently positive (antifascist) and flipped its purpose 180 degrees. It's even sadder that POTUS and his cabal then exploited this situation further until people couldn't declare their opposition to fascism without being declared a disingenuous and violent protester. The saddest part of all, though, is that this kind of nonsense is working. It once again only serves to reiterate the disastrous state of critical thought (or lack thereof) - a global epidemic exacerbated by a diminished attention span, an incessant need to be right, blind faith in those similar to us (that encourages us to let our guards down and accept words shared), and the vilification of those dissimilar to us (that discourages us from even bearing witness to words shared from opposition sources).lindamarie73 said:I can see why this brave young lady is adored by so many on here....
We have allowed ourselves and each other to become void of the ability to think critically. It's shameful.

Are you pro-fascist?
Also, that shitty meme is inaccurate. You should research things before posting them.

The world is changing anyways. Big business and big oil should be more frightened of Elon Musk and Tesla than Greta. Tesla is on their way to becoming the biggest company in the world. In 10 years Amazon will be a corner store comparatively. And it will all be done to make the world a better place.

Hahahaha, so you’ve seen that first follower video huh? Man I say that same stuff all the time. So obviously, nice post1ThoughtKnown said:The way she was treated by our provincial government when she visited Calgary was abhorrent. It was similar on social media although I avoid most of that drivel anyways.It will soon be their world. I support change. I am a Health & Safety Advisor by profession and within that career choice I am a self-proclaimed “change agent”. Any change requires leadership, however the most important person is the first follower... because only at that point can you begin a movement.Remember folks, we were all young once and had beliefs that were not shared by the majority of the previous generation. I remember the adults who would listen to our views and engage in intelligent conversations were the ones I respected the most. Listen and communicate with youth... ask them questions and most of all, give them some hope for a brighter future.

What part of this shitty picture is inaccurate? Our little darling support’s ANTIFA by wearing a t-shirt for all to see. Please enlighten me how this is inaccurate.dignin said:

I guess you are more up to date on famed swedish Opera-singer Malena Ernman then me, but I have never seen or heard anything about her being part of or supporting ANTIFA?
According to herself, she does not support them or anything like them at all. Having to make this clear after idiots started creating pictures like the one you so happily shared:
Please enlighten me how this is inaccurate.
Or are you just one of those spending your sundays finding idiotic alt-right pictures on reddits, facebook groups or whatever commentary sections you might read? If so, I would regret even responding.
And why are you using the condescending "our little darling" like you're roleplaying Tucker Carlson?Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Why would you say I am a for Fascism?? I’ll tell you what I am against thou....A group who is committed to shutting down anyone they disagree with by any means necessary including intimidation, Destruction of property, and Violence. Boy, one might say they are a Terrorist organization, but we all know that label can’t be used....Spiritual_Chaos said:

Absolutely! That is the best video in the world to demonstrate the real human condition. At first, no one wants to join the “fool” going against the grain, but one brave soul joins the party and others perception changes quickly. All of a sudden, people don’t want to be “left out” and the movement begins. This can happen rapidly as demonstrated in the video. Ultimately, the bravest individual is often the first follower... as they make the others look at the leader differently.cincybearcat said:

You evidently seem to be against people showing they are antifascist and taking a stand against fascism? The conclusion is you being pro-fasict. Seems a bit icky to be that in 2019 with such easy access to our history and to see all that fascism has caused -- A group who is committed to shutting down anyone they disagree with by any means necessary including intimidation, Destruction of property, and Violence. Boy, one might say they are a Terrorist organization,lindamarie73 said:

She and her mother have both explicitly said that they wore the shirt for the anti-fascist message, not the association with ANTIFA, and stopped doing so when they heard that folks such as yourself were misconstruing the intent. Greta in particular clearly stated she condemns all who look to violence to make change. You chose to ignore that, and continued to parrot the disingenuous assholes who started this smear campaign. Congratulations, lindamarie, you have successfully been weaponized. Your role is as a megaphone or amplifier for the stupid and the deceptive (who are sometimes, by design, hard to tell apart).lindamarie73 said:

And a question from me -- where did you stumble upon the image (that you now run away from with the classic "and youpeople can't just accept we disagree!" and therefore asking people to accept and look past you posting bullshit and you not taking responsibility for being one of the people going around the internet posting bullshit.)
