Are you playing ignorant or something? Please point out where I stated she did not wear the t-shirt?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.

Are you pro-fascist?
Also, that shitty meme is inaccurate. You should research things before posting them.
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?
And please answer my questions in the post you quoted.
Or if you are just here to troll and spreading bullshit you can't even defend without dancing around the subject - then you should get banned.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
It would be best to ignore the troll everyone. Please refer to the OP’s comments. Let’s not let one person drag the conversation in the mud

While they have a right to post their opinion, we have a right to it ignore it. Especially clearly doctored photos.0 -

A comment on this subject from another site that I thought was perfectly stated:"What is it about this girl that has grown men shivering in fear? I'll have what she's having."

Can't you please just stop with these comments? I honestly ask you for what it is good for.i_lov_it said:As long as Hedonist stop using sexual connotations to attack people on this subject
It's just so unnecessary to start over and over again and it only creates a negative mood. Surely that is not your intention, right !?

Exactly, Bp. And an unwillingness to make changes in their lives. They don't want to hear that having large families is pushing overpopulation, or that it is better to use delayed gratification to save up longer for more durable goods, or to not use fossil fuel powered vehicles as "entertainment" or "sport", or to curb their consumerism, or eat less meat, etc. They care more about their selfish desires than they do about leaving a healthy planet for today's youth and future generations. So I would add "selfishness" to the list.

Bingo. My wife and I have made profound changes in our lives to have less of an impact on the world. Do we have a long way to go? Absolutely... but we are not resisting change, we are going embracing it. Failure is our greatest opportunity. We have failed Mother Earth, but we can improve all while maintaining our current standard of living.brianlux said:Bentleyspop said:

The Uber- right is pretty sensitive these days. But Greta showed her maturity by apologizing and explaining the misunderstanding.

If you are too ignorant when posting your bullshit pictures to do a quick google search on why Greta did what she did, then @benjs was actually nice enough to answer your question in his post. A post that you quoted and responded to. So one would imagine that you read what he wrote. Would that be too much to believe of someone who enjoys hunting and fishing with their man and pushing alt-right smear campaigns?lindamarie73 said:Spiritual_Chaos said:

Agree. It’s powerful once you realize to. Before then, mostly think of the leader. But it’s the first follower that makes what the leader is saying/doing ok. Legitimizes the leader.1ThoughtKnown 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:
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.To me it changes the perception of the old statement “are you a leader or a follower?” Never underestimate the power of the follower hippiemom = goodness0 -
i agree 100%. i love that she's in the spotlight, highlighting an incredibly urgent and important issue. but when you put yourself out there and expect to be taken seriously, unfortunately you are no longer protected like a normal private citizen should expect. i don't condone bullying on anyone, but criticism is fair, no matter the age.cincybearcat said:
I’m getting tired of hearing about her being a child on one end but we should listen to the child on the other end.Thoughts_Arrive said:she certainly does trigger a lot of "adult" men and women. The amount of disgusting comments I've read on Facebook about her Times magazine feature is pretty low. To think adults would bully a child like that by saying horrible things.
people need to decide. Either she’s old enough and mature enough to be a worldwide political figure and all that comes with that, or she’s a child.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
I live in an area of the world where most people think like you do. They oppose change because they are afraid of it. It may take away their livelihoods, an industry they built their life around. I was one of them.lindamarie73 said:Spiritual_Chaos said:

I saw the writing on the wall in 2012 and left oil and gas forever. I work in utilities now. I am happier, healthier and more proud of what I do than at any other point of my life.You are entitled to your opinion, but nothing you are saying discredits anything Greta is standing for. If you believe Greta and her family are wrong and horrible people, please provide the evidence. I would love to read it.If they simply wore some shirts from a foreign country without recognizing the implications of it and apologizing, well that is hardly anything to worry about.And most of all... she’s a teenager. I mean... be an adult about this. Post edited by 1ThoughtKnown on0
