Gohmert just said that Nadler was being Stalinist.

It’s not an argument. It’s differing opinions. I don’t give a flying **** that trump tweeted, except that he should be condemned for being an asshat to a teen.You’re the one initiating an argument. People post she has passion about something, and you can’t help but try to find an angle to argue and say that she’s just a pawn. All because Trump tweeted like an ass again.
She was in the news before trump tweeted. So spare me the trump nonsense. Not everything is **** ing about trump. These are two separate events that I’m giving my opinion on.

Many on the international stage are.They stood up there and literally called politicians child murderers.
Who cares what she says. Another case of looking and loving to be outraged by you. Yawn.
"Looking' would imply I actually have to make an effort to see it. I don't. Its impossible to ignore.
Now that mass shooting the other day in NJ or the naval base shooting? Yeah you literally have to go out of your way to find stories on it. Everyones priorities are so fukked up its pathetic

Let's just say that the Swedes are divided regarding Greta Thunberg.
It is quite apparent that she has PR people behind her. And it is even more apparent since she can never go outside her prepared speech. You can for example look at the panel session in Davos where she is given questions regarding what concrete measures we could do. She can't come up with any concrete suggestion in that setting, but I would appreciate if you could show me some clip where she has one concrete solution.
The problem is when you are a child and engage in a discussion trying to persuade grownups to do something. If you want to have a grown up conversation, then you can't say "I am just a child" as soon as someone discusses or criticizes your opinions. If you want decision makers to do something you need to be able to defend your opinions and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of them.

Heh. That makes two Swedes I know that don't dislike her. Wish I could have had some balance.

Thanks. But to be honest, I guess your general views on politics are closest to mine out of all the posters in this forumThanks for sharing! Nice having a resident Swede hereLet's just say that the Swedes are divided regarding Greta Thunberg.

And to clarify:
Greta Thunberg can do whatever she likes, but I am not a fan of her and especially the circus surrounding her.
Two examples:
-There was a lot of fuzz in Sweden regarding her being the top choice for the Noble Peace prize.
-If you don't agree with her and support her then you are labeled a climate denier

Perhaps I fulfilled your desire - see the post aboveHeh. That makes two Swedes I know that don't dislike her. Wish I could have had some balance.

I'm fine with people attacking the parents and people behind her doing this... attacking her is a bit much. I believe shyster had a nice long rant about how she's a whiny little brat that needs to stfu. That's the kind of abuse she does not deserve. Attack the real reasons why her face is plastered all over the TV: the people behind her using her as a prop along with the powers that be who don't want to do a damn thing about climate change because it'll potentially hurt their bottom line.

It's always easier to attack the messenger than address the reason for the message.

Can we get a list from the good folks here at 5AF on who has been "attacking her"?
Lelldorin says it right.

Which is why they put her out front, to neuter any disagreement.If you don't agree with her and support her then you are labeled a climate denier
