Greta Thunberg As You've Never Seen Her Before: Memes, Beans and Climate Activism

Whenever I see anyone villianized by the media, my first reaction is to listen to what they say. She has always made valid points, it's everyone's defensiveness that made me suspicious of how they could find a young woman so threatening.

[@h0lly_blue]

people are scared of what they don't understand, and in this case it's a young woman speaking facts, who started off as a teenager speaking facts, and if there's one thing grumpy older people hate, it's youths trying to make a difference and change their world because "BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RUBBISH LIKE THAT" - well we're not in their day anymore, we're in ours, and they'll just have to get used to that the same way we will in a few generations their way of life is petering out and they can't accept that, so they instead have to lash out at the current generations to make up for it

[@h0lly_blue]

@Ama Daetz case in point - god forbid a young person is successful in any sort of way that effects closed-minded people's regressive mentalities, because obviously they're too young and too naive to think for themselves without letting the "grownups" talk for them I hope you don't reproduce, because you'd be a shit parent if you'd belittle, demean and scoff at your kids - the ones you can't replace, the ones who will eventually have to take care of you at some point provided they don't dump you in some unnamed, uncharted and underdeveloped nursing home in the valley because they can't stand the sight of you - the same way you do to Greta

Autism, to be explained in the simplest way, simply means that your brain works a bit differently than the majority. The main characteristics are having trouble with social cues, sensory issues, repetitive, soothing behaviors (like eating beans) and so on. To most people they can seem very “normal” (but I would avoid using that word)

To be fair, it's the difference between getting a pedicure and an armpitwax. One is having a calm chat and some sharpness here and there, but reasonable. The other is a lot of screaming, pain and yanking and in the end, you're exhausted. I'm going by tv-footage of that bytheway, I have never waxed my armpits or gotten a pedicure. I have ugly feet to begin with and my hamsterlike armpits will surely help keep the cost of heating down this winter. *Plays some lighthearted, sensual music in the background to make myself sound a bit more like a lady.*

Greta was not trained to be a politician, she saw an issue she cared about not being discussed enough, so she pushed herself out of her comfort zone to do what is right.

I will be surprised if you can change my mind on this one honestly. As the tears are more of a distraction than anything else. The fact people keep saying stuff like she to immature to do what she is doing says that. If u was debating something with me and them crocodile tears come out. I would just look at you and say well should we come back to this when emotions aren't so high so we can have a reasonable convo about this. As I don't wanna debate with someone who's making there arguments off high emotion. I want facts. She could be using fact. But it's hard to take them as such when there crying. Literally crying. All it dose is make it seem like there arguments is all based on emotion which is a stupid way to base a argument like this off. As it's not a argument about emotion or how others feel.
