That..that was a tough watch, despite that keep up the good work Greta.
Greta Thunberg is just acting out some dog and pony show using a blatant argument from authority to brow-beat people into following a particular line of action.
I mean that is literally all it is.

The thread should probably be moved to the general forum if this is what we're discussing. At least when it was old men complaining about her Marxist agenda it was sort of relevant.
Never mind.
Can you expand? I'm intrigued
12 counts of freedom in a 2 minute video. Impressive but can do better.
Funny how the re-tweets of lunatics is a great way of figuring out what Glenn Greenwald is up to lately.
The guy really needs to log off. Very strange lately.
Lately?
Greenwald rules
You seem to have it all figured out, your views and ideas intrigue me.
Please teach us sheeple old wise one, for we do not see the truth.
He was pretty decent during the Snowden stuff and at the intercept.
Snowden, I agree. Started getting squirrelly towards the middle of the Intercept & beyond.
Would you have said that eight years ago?
Hearing Americans hammer on about their FREEDOMS and how they're helping the world get more FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY is nauseating. The average European has more freedoms and a better democracy than that failing state.
No.
How dare she point out that we have right royally fecked things up and aren't even doing much to slow the destruction, much less stop or reverse it. Obviously a Marxist plot to ... erm ... something to do with freedom.
Arguments from authority are how people function, no one can specialize in everything so what you do is find someone who is knowledgable and listen to them. If you're sick you go the doctor and listen to what they say, you don't enroll in medical school to find out seven years later that you have cancer, and only then if you have enough money to buy whatever equipment you need to do whatever test you need to do to detect cancer.
If you were trying to allude to fallacious arguments from authority then you obviously don't know what you're talking about, because that's not what she's doing.

This guy is up there with the dude in front of the tank at the Chinese student protests and Frodo Baggins in terms of bravery.
So brave.
I think this of all pilots though, being rather afraid of flying myself.
It's a bit of a jump from getting vaccinated to having 'every minute of your life controlled'. Also 'bravest' is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence.
Rookie numbers.

At 17 I was out protesting against motorways being built on greenbelt, marching on downing Street against the criminal justice bill and generally being a pain in the arse for the authorities.
I had a feckin riot and loved every minute of it.
The time to do it is when you're a kid, you've no ties or responsibility to worry about.
I’m guessing we won’t get a more in depth reply to this. Hit and run posting.
I think she gets under the skin of these types of people because she talks about how her generation will write their history. Never sits right with them.
Every credit to her. Go get em girly.
Disgraceful. I have not been so outraged since AOC dancing in College.
The fact she rickrolled the whole world brought a smile to my face.
Anyone angered or bemused by it are bona fida oldies at heart.

If only mark was still here to hear his opinion on Greta
He's got a Twitter account, and it's just as insane as you would expect. What's scary though is that he's got a few thousand followers who seem to think he actually knows what he's talking about (which, as we clearly established that time he read a graph backwards, he doesn't). The good news is that those followers are just more Mark's, they're actually irrelevant and will never amount to anything.
Americans really are a different breed.
