    She’s everything conservatives are not - young, intelligent, educated and principled.

    Imagine your average facebook-posting climate-denier. Do you think Greta is the right messenger to reach them ?

      Intelligent? She supports the Ukrainian dictator, Zelensky. She apologized for supporting and attacked the idea of anti-facism. She’s a far-right reactionary.

        This is exactly what I mean. Merely mention her name and everyone starts frothing at the mouth. Her message is completely lost.

          Her message we should support far right war criminals like Zelensky? And it’s not like his actions are good for the environment. Generally bombing and shelling regions and using depleted uranium rounds aren’t something environmentalists like.

          Dude, you are against the Tulsa masacre being taught and think drag queens are “grooming”. If you think anyone wants to listen to you, you have another thing coming.

            I didn’t say I was against it being taught. I just want balance with other things. You can’t just teach the Howard Zinn version of history and get away with it.

              So you just want to deny it. Dude, go back to your fat-right websites where you can deny the actual history of how the black people in the US were and are oppressed.

      Oh I misunderstood your first comment. So being young, intelligent, educated, etc. means that you specifically dislike her? Or that everyone on Facebook does?

        I’m not saying that I dislike her.

        In fact after the small dick energy thing she will always have a special place in my heart.

        I’m saying, if you were to choose an ambassador for the climate change movement who will reach and influence climate change laggards… Greta is a very poor choice.

        In fact I’d go as far as to say she only gets so much media attention precisely because she generates so much hatred from conservatives.

          I don’t think any climate activist could get a message like that into their thick skulls. Props to her for trying though.
