Your hero is a 16 year old girl with mental health problems.


It is no shock that so many on the left worship this kid....Finally someone on their level, they can relate to.

Nice one. gives high-five They can't trick adults into falling for their agenda, so they choose kids who don't know any better, including that one.

Wow...

While I don't belong to the left, I have to say that it's wrong to assume that they're all idiots. And no, Greta is hardly an idiot either.

The vitriol is sickening. Conservatives are simple creatures that follow simple orders.

I am a conservative (was quite left a few years back). I follow no "orders" (by whom even!?) and unlike the radicals on both sides who just live in echochambers, I still use my own head and my own judgement. I do not need anyone else to tell me what is good or bad, I have a healthy set of morals because I had great parents who tried to raise me good.
I do not need buzzfeed, PETA or Hillary Clinton and I sure as Hell do not need Trump or other idiots either to tell me what to think.

Next time before you brush a whole political corner over the same comb take a step back and please realize what an idiot you are for calling others simple when you yourself say stupid shit like that.

If I'd be on your level, I'd respond with "hurr durr found the stoopid libtard!"
But not everyone is like you...

He did not say every leftist is an idiot. He said: "It is no shock that >so many< on the left worship this kid"

And that is completely accurate. Just as accurate as calling people who treat Greta like Jesus incarnate idiots or similar derogatory terms. Is it nice? No, but sometimes it is more important to establish the facts and solve a situation instead of being politically correct.

It is beyond me how millions of people, especially in Europe, can fall for a teenager that
a) is saying NOTHING new and nothing we did not know already, who
b) claims, supported by her mother, that she can "see CO²" - which is physically impossible by the way and who
c) is treated like Jesus incarnate despite not offering ANY solution to any problem and who
d) cherry-picks the countries she criticizes. Why doesn't she go to China or countries in South America, or Africa? Mmhh..

"Greta" is a product, a puppet so to speak, controlled by people who are right now making a lot of money, while the people get divided even more and nothing is solved. It also doesn't help how "Greta" blows environmental issues out of proportion, acting as if the world will just be "over" in a short time. We heard the same nonsense long before, nothing happened - and no, I am not a "climate change denier", I simply don't believe what a 17yo girl that has no expertise whatsoever is telling me.

Stupid me amiright?
