people going after Greta isnt about ”criticism” though.HughFreakingDillon said:
i don't think that's what he meant. i think he meant that greta is no regular 16 year old, so people defending her should stop playing that card. i mean, i agree with him. you can't on one hand tell us to respect and listen to this person (which i do) but then claim she is immune from criticism. that's having your cake and eating it too.brianlux said:cincybearcat said:
Again with the age. It either matters or it doesn’t. I’m not listening to a regular 16 year old on this shit. So don’t try and tel me to listen to her and then use her she as some sort of reason to treat her with “kids gloves”, etc.josevolution said:
It’s funny that the two anti Greta posters are reacting like this because of a 16yr old getting her time in limelight!Bentleyspop said:

And is it just me or do the 2 anti-Greta people seem very much alike in what they post?
Coincidence??
So tired of this.Greta is no regular 16 year old!But you're right about global warming being shit!
i don't condone the shit being said about her. but the defense should not be "she's a child! leave her alone!". it should be "stop being such an asshole!" like it is for every other person in the public eye.
to me the barron trump thing was blown way out of proportion (no one ever criticized him, just used him as a play on words criticizing idiot), but people comparing the two situations is ridiculous. if barron put himself out there like, say, donald's sons, fine, criticize away. greta is looking to be treated as an adult. it's funny to me, i haven't seen one thing from her saying "leave me alone, i'm just a child". it's all the leftie commentators.
People downplaying it, saying it's just about "criticism" comes off as this guy from Jason X:

I agree. That’s my point. Listen to her. But don’t claim the “young girl” defense when actual criticism/discussion occurs. Now for the just mean nastiness I don’t think her age matters either as no one deserves that.brianlux said:cincybearcat said:

Yes, this. I think it diminishes her voice anytime you go the “young girl” route.HughFreakingDillon said:

there are different takes on this. some climate change deniers are criticizing her based on her beliefs, but using her age as a weapon to discredit her.Spiritual_Chaos said:

some are being just assholes, talking about her appearance, her age, her Asperger's, saying she's a pawn of Soros, etc. but you get that across the board. they did the same thing with AOC. "just a waitress from Brooklyn", when she has proven herself as one of the smartest and most articulate and well-researched people in congress.
people on the left who believe her message and honestly believe in what she is saying are doing her and the message a disservice by taking the bait and defending her based on her age and her Asperger's. she herself is probably pissed at all the people saying "she's just a 16 year old girl with a disability! leave her alone!". How can you be taken seriously if that's the defense?By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

And I don't have anything against Greta Thunberg, on the flip side, it appears to some that the climate change movement is using her age and disability as a weapon to promote it's side of the debate.

in the case of her age, it absolutely makes sense, as we need more people of the generation that is actually going to be affected to speak up.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

I’m not sure AOC is the clear winner. I guess it would depend on who you are trying to “win over”. Greta is a mascot for the youth and AOC is a mascot for the Democrats. Overall, if people are not in either of those camps, I’m not sure they put much weight into what either of them say.RYME said:

Truthfully, I’m not sure either of them are winning anyone outside of those categories over with climate change being such a politicized topic. How do you un-politicize something that has already been politicized, though? I think everyone, regarded of political affiliation should support a healthier, less polluted earth, but should also be setting realistic goals to accomplish that. The scientists, Agricultural engineers, and teachers should be leading the fight, not politicians and children.Post edited by PJPOWER on0 -

RYME, climate change is not a movement and there are no "sides". It is reality. There should be no need for debate at this point in time, only combined and unified action.
