    a: i’m not part of any “you guys”.
    b: like i said, part of me is jaded, part of me is impressed…
    i don’t know, because she already almost did this once and then didn’t get on the boat. That isn’t walking the walk…
    you greta fanboys are nuts.
    i don’t like her because she convinces her followers to drop out of school, when an education would give them a lot of power to actually change things.
    protests are great and all, but we DO need more environmental scientists. just because she dropped out doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile to understand environmentalism from a scientific point of view.
    i don’t see her so much as walking the walk as much as a very very privileged white girl, who wrote some okay essays and is doing more harm than good.

      I didn’t mention wether or not she got on the boat before, She’s planning on going on one now where you have law makers making veiled threats on her life. And i can not find anywhere that she told people to drop out of school. She recommended people to go on strike from school for a specific event, and then protest every Friday thereafter. She finished her schooling in 2023 afterward. She never argued that we don’t need more climate scientists, but fucking news flash, nobodies even giving them the time of day let alone any media presence, that’s not her fault. And you dismissing her previous efforts because she is a privileged white girl is wild, unless you expect only disempowered minorities to fight against a god dammed genocide.

      All these false talking points and lies smell of right wing am radio trash.

        All these false talking points and lies smell of right wing am radio trash.

        you’re just like maga. not everyone who disagrees with you or asks questions is Rush Limbaugh, and these aren’t “talking points” that i’m getting from a list handed out to right wing newscasters, this just me, a human, talking about thoughts and my inner conflict regarding greta.
        do you even know what “talking points” means? or is that just some way that you can discount a person’s perspective entirely.
        i’m engaging in a discussion, not making proclamations.
        ….
        you clearly missed it but i DO respect her, her values and what she’s doing… just not like, completely worshipping her as some green deity like you.

          Your inter thoughts and conflict fed by outright lies. You won’t answer me correcting your slander? I wonder why. It’s those lies that are talking points and they were fed to you from somewhere. You misremember? Then you have to reconcile the premise of your position! Also what is it about her being privileged and white that makes her unable to fight against a genocide? I am not going to let you just shrug that off as if your “discussion” has any merits.

            you’re an idiot and misrepresenting everything you’ve said.
            every question a loaded one.
            every conclusion, the most extreme and rage addicted version of reality, twisting….
            jesus christ your name is wraith gear?
            fuck off, edge lord….
            none of the words you’ve said are true, you are completely divorced from reality.

            go sail a boat and shut the fuck up

              You painted yourself in this corner, and i am not going to let you out.

              You falsely said “I don’t like her because she convinces her followers to drop out of school…” You misrepresented the truth. And refused to answer for your lie which was the only justification you gave for all this

              Then said “She’s just a very very privileged white girl who wrote some okay essays and is doing more harm than good.” Attempting to discredit activists because who they are and not on the substance of their message. But that tracks as you attack me much the same, at literally the only thing you could reach.

              ‘If the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If the law is on your side, pound the law. If neither is on your side, pound the table.’ Though in your case i recommend pounding sand.
