It is critical to remember that hysterias — such as Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, “endemic and systemic racism in America,” the climate“crisis” in America and the “rape culture” on American college campuses — are to the Left what oxygen is to biological life. No oxygen, no life; no hysteria, no Left. And especially children: If you can’t sell your hysteria to adults, try kids. And that is what the Left has done. After all, no one is as malleable or as easily indoctrinated as children. Consider this: If the Left didn’t tell them the world is going to end, they wouldn’t worry about it. They’d be enjoying their young lives, maybe even learning to appreciate that they live in the freest country at the most prosperous time in human history. Instead, thanks to leftists (who are children in adult bodies), they live in their grip of “existential eco-anxiety.” Just look at this latest despicable mockery done by Greta Thunberg. Just how inspiring or even persuasive you find Greta’s speeches and overall activism likely depends on where you stand on the political spectrum. There are plenty of politicians and regular voters claiming to be inspired by her words and passion. There are also lots of observers expressing general alarm at what they see as an indoctrinated child being coerced by adults to make their political arguments with her youth as a shield from any criticism. This is but one more way in which the Left abuses children (along with telling them they are neither boys nor girls but whatever they choose to be; teaching them contempt for their country; and depriving them of the greatest source of morality, meaning, community, and happiness). It’s depressing, and it’s frightening. Edit: Nobody objects to a greener future. The objection is to forced coercion to give up liberty and the free market to a leftist controlled big government. Sound familiar?: “You NEED protection for the greater good. Otherwise the world will end and you will die. Let us control every part of your life, and extort protect money (exorbitant taxes) from you for it. Come on, What’s the worst that could happen if we changed our ways due to global warming, real or not? Cleaner air? Cleaner oceans? Do the right thing! 😡” Edit 2: Let’s say at school there is a thug who is bullying you but he is promising a green future if you agree to get bullied, give him your lunch everyday and pay him protection money. Will you do it? “the worst case is a greener planet, while by doing nothing the worst case is a dying planet. It makes sense.” Really? The left is that bullying scum. Try to understand. I have simplified it as much as I can. Think, don’t be sheep.
It's absolutely ridiculous to say that a 16 year old can't understand the science. I would argue that a 16 year old who has invested the time to look into the research understands it better than the majority of the population who has never read more than a headline about the "climate hoax". Step off your poorly informed high horse. Focusing on her age is such a shitty, obvious attempt at misdirection.
Really? Last time I checked, PhDs and professional research scientists don’t agree on many details and conclusions related to global warming. But if you claim that an overemotional 16-year-old with a serious psychological condition sees it so clearly, then we must take your word for it.
What’s the worst that could happen if we changed our ways due to global warming, real or not? Cleaner air? Cleaner oceans? And puh-lease, don’t pretend the conservatives aren’t doing the exact same thing. The border crisis, Clinton’s emails etc etc. And let’s be real. Adults don’t own the world, they’re borrowing it from their children.
The worst that could happen with drastic change is economic damage that ends up killing millions (of mostly 3rd world inhabitants). Millions may die if we don't do something either. That balancing act of how drastically we act is what makes this (and a lot of hotly debated policy topics) complicated stuff which young kids are not super great at understanding the nuance of.
emmmm. all of these are real issues. please go back to sleep and let the rest of world move forward.
Everything about this post is hypocrisy exemplified.
It calls out the exemplified hypocrisy.
It's so comforting to see that there are at least a handful of conservatives in tech companies. These lefties will be more than happy to get rid of us all.
Sadly they’re better at brainwashing the GenZ folks 😢
Don't confuse conservatism with racism and ignorance.
Learn the facts about the fake rape culture, YOU dips*** https://youtu.be/K0mzqL50I-w Stop yapping start learning Edit: the above post was taken down after being flagged. The guy / girl basically abused me with the choicest words over two or three sentences for speaking out about fake rape culture hysteria.
You f***ing moron, if you get your truths from YouTube, you are a bigger dumbf*** than I assumed.
Who is the left?
Who do you think?
I dont know, honestly tho, who is the left?
If children should be protesting anything, it should be the massive amount of government debt they are inheriting. Not wasting time on the changes that occur in the weather.
Exactly. And then they’d realize the only reason for that massive debt is government-backed loans (“no child left behind! 😡”) that encourage colleges to keep raising tuition (because who doesn’t want to squeeze out free money?) and be fiscally irresponsible.
OP you’re the problem. Dont vote
So you can commit voter fraud by altering my absentee ballot? https://www.nationalreview.com/news/michigan-city-clerk-charged-with-altering-ballots-in-2018-midterms/ #factchecked No, thanks.

This post is hysterical. If adults won't do anything, the kids will need to. I've never heard Greta speak, but I understand her activism is directed towards climate change and impending crisis. Report after report from credible sources says it's a disaster waiting to happen unless we change our ways but not enough is changing fast enough. Is kids are becoming hysterical, I think it's justified. Maybe the adults will pay attention finally.
The problem is that the kids barely understand basic science let alone the complex issue that climate change is. If somebody can get children worked up about the exctinction of Yeti or the Loch Ness monster and bring them to tears in front of the UN, does it mean those issues are legitimate?
Wrong @LinkedIn. You are the problem.
