AIBU Greta Thunberg?

[onalongsabbatical]

AIBU to ask everyone who can to get behind Greta Thunberg, even if only online, as she's now getting a lot a lot a lot of hate. She clearly threatens people - especially her polar opposites, men, rich old men, powerful men (did I mention men?). Let's all give her the lurve and support she needs.
So on FB I challenged one just now - Why are you attacking a young woman? - and he disappeared. Funny, that.

Nasty

What's nasty?

Your comment and others in same vein

You don't admire brave and articulate young women who call out their elders for fucking up the planet? Wow.

I think you are over reacting. Yes, some.comments have been unnecessary but she is a very unusual and strange person and that's part of her charm.

You wouldn’t mind if someone called you or your child a very strange little person?

She'd better be effective or we're all F**D - not me as I'm too old but my DGCs will see the wildanimals dying off, famines, mass emigration. It won't be nice.

I don't know Greta Thunberg personally marsha. I presume she's not reading this, so i think its ok.

The article is the mail today actually made me feel sick. Every shot of her is a contorted angry face. Saying she was upstaged by Trump!
You know when your doing well when the daily mail hates you. Keep it up dudette!

Still nasty. She’s a child. A bit too odd for you I guess. Too different.

I don’t care if she’s not reading but it does say more about the posters who spout this crap.

You do realise that the Brazilian beef you are thinking about giving up was rain forest two years ago, will be maize in another two years, melons for two years after that will be so sterilised it will be desert.

The cars and planes you probably ride in have been made available because the US seized oilfields in 1991 and 2003 to secure those supplies for all of us. They still control them now. Whether you agree with that or not does not affect the fact you benefit.

Yet we need oxygen and water more than we need oil. And we need soil most to provide rainforests and other vegetation to provide the oxygen and bio systems to survive. Fertile soil will become brown gold.

You may think seizing rainforests is far fetched, but I predict it.

You might want to see what Bolsonaro is doing.

I think her views on the world might change when she gets older and actually has to pay her bills, fend for herself etc.

I doubt it.

These young women are our future, thank God for that.

You're probably right but you never know

I read a vile piece on Twitter likening her to Nazi propaganda because she was blonde and blue eyed. Fully expecting to get sin binned for my reply 😂.
I think she's a remarkable young woman and I'm very much on her bandwagon

I think she's fucking brilliant.

Amazing little lass. Good on her!

A strange little person? Are you talking about her facial expression and mannerisms? You know she is autistic right?

Are you talking about her facial expression and mannerisms?

No.

I just watched her speech - I get what her cause is, what she’s fighting for and commend her for it, but there’s something about the delivery of the speech that’s a bit odd - the crying seems a bit odd and put me off a little, though the message is a good one.

^^ before anyone says I’m mean about her etc - I actually work for a green company helping climate change so..... we actually do stuff and have done for years 😊
