Greta Thunberg

I'll assume that you are now amused.
Thanks for the confirmation....as I said, it's no surprise you don't have the ability to discuss the facts in regard to her history.....nor do they seem to interest you...what a shame...
 
Aw, c'mon- we even care about yours.

Well, we care that Toxic Top keeps it away from us. lol You're right though -- it IS very sad to watch her come here day after day, spewing her hate and envy for a child not very well cloaked as "concern," isn't it?

The strategy is to accuse others of what you yourself are guilty of and the dummies buy into it.
 
Yet you don't see any climate realists advocating blowing off their education and protesting against something they know nothing about or protesting against nothing in general like the Occupy Wall Street nonmovemt.

Where do you get this "blowing off their education" bit? I just posted that Greta completed the school year with 14 "A's" and 3 "B's." Kids everywhere should blow off their education if that's the result of it.
 
You sound just like a Trumpist PR drone. Fox News fan ?
"The strategy is to accuse others of what you yourself are guilty of and the dummies buy into it." This? That's a "quote" I borrowed from one of the femlibchick socks here;) I'll let them know;)

That's correct- you are characterized by the strategy that you espouse. That others agree is news to nobody.

That, and especially Breitbart, which often has all the best brown-people-behaving-horribly "news" stories that are then shared on social media. But there's no racism to see here, folks, none at all. :laugh:

But back to Greta....you do understand the issues she has that are cause for concern...don't you?

It's always mystified me how white progressives feel they have the divine right to speak on behalf of minorities, yet when people like Candace Owens speak they are considered the wrong type of brown, isn't that racist?
 
Sure. Global warming and morons such as you- to name but two.
So, you don't understand nor do you care to....as I thought...
Let me know if you'd like to discuss at a later date why many are concerned....
Turn out Sweden doesn't have the best opportunities for children with special needs...Maybe the T-bergs should move here...
the girls could flourish here...

I went to a shitty pubic school at her age and would have failed with her attendance record. Showing up is part of the real world. I might be the most knowledgable practitioner on the planet but it would be useless unless I showed up. Besides that I made straight A's without even trying my first two yrs. of h.s. until they realized I needed to be in honors classes to get challenged. I had to do at least a couple of hours of homework every night and turn it in for a grade in addition to tests. No way I coulda done that galavanting all over the world loudly proclaiming my depression because of weather events.

1. This is your post I've been talking about.



2. You denigrated the experiences of these people and I responded with information about them.

3. You responded with this:

4. I responded that microbiology and environmental geography are most definitely sciences that AOC and Trudeau studied, i.e. "scientific background."

5. You responded with this non sequitur:

Hope this clears it up for you.

Feel free to post it again. In addition read what you posted. See if you can comprehend it .Then go away.

Does this mean you're against home schooling? What about cyber schools?
 
. Does this mean you're against home schooling?
Not when the alternative is , e.g., public schools in Louisiana. I'd definitely be against it when teachers controlled the students rather than the other way around and discipline reigned during my matriculation.
What about cyber schools?
Only after completing secondary education . Not as a substitute for it.

Viewpoint: What the ancient Greeks can teach us about Greta Thunberg trolls

It may appear that the trolling of women is an unpleasant by-product of the internet era.

In fact, the tactics used are remarkably similar to those employed in ancient times, especially if you compare the trolling of Greta Thunberg and the way the ancient Greeks used to treat "hysterical" women.

Girls and women who speak out or express opinions are often subjected to abuse online, intended to intimidate and silence them.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is a prime example of this. As the teenager continues to speak out about the impending environmental problems caused by climate change, she is subject to greater and greater amounts of abuse.

She has repeatedly been called "hysterical", and "mentally ill", and has been the target of social media death threats.

The 'hysterical woman' myth
While these online platforms are relatively new, the threats themselves are not.

For those of us working in Ancient Studies, it is easy to spot a pattern here stretching back across millennia.

As far back as 2,500 years ago, in ancient Greece, girls and women were controlled in similar ways.

Greta has become, for many, an icon of resistance, of speaking truth to power. In this, she resembles the mythical Greek heroine Antigone.

Fast forward 2,000 years, and while misogyny may be culturally hardwired, the relatively recent creation of social media has facilitated it in particularly damaging ways.

These platforms have allowed anonymous attacks and enabled campaigns targeted against individual women.

Women in the public sphere can now expect to be bombarded with memes and threats on social media by a brigade of online trolls.

Is 'troll-slaying' the answer?

Yep. Haw, haw..................................haw.

Right, G ?
