    She's just a young girl who believes strongly in something. The types of comments I'm seeing, as well as the tone seems to be as emotional, if not more so, than hers. Clearly, she represents what some see as a threat.

    I'd suggest you aim your criticisms at them instead of her. Dog-piling on her makes her heroic to some.

    Again, why the focus on her? Why not attack those who you think are using her?

    Democrats have been using children for years. Look at any street corner when the public schools want more money. The kids are in the front holding the signs.

    Agree. She's just a pawn.

    Ok, so why no focus on those using her? Her name is well known, but nobody is naming her "users".

    The threat of nonsense? The democrats are hiding behind her to gain more power over people's lives based on alarmist hysteria they hope to bamboozle the public with. It's called propaganda and poor little Scoldilocks is being used as a propaganda tool.

    Her users are hiding behind her. All people that have power have a front. The left, socialists, commies, etc, whatever you want to call them. Whenever your school district needs more money they put the kids on a street corner with signs while adults stand behind them. Who's using the kids?

    Greta not the first with dire warnings of the end of life

    All experts in their field. What happened? Nothing.

    “Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) said that by the year 2000, global warming would melt enough polar ice to put Maldives and other flat islands underwater, that “Ecological refugees will become a major concern,” and that governments had only a ten-year window to solve the greenhouse effect before the damage would be irreversible.2In 2007, Professor Wieslaw Maslowski of the U.S. Navy’s Department of Oceanography predicted that by 2013, the Arctic Ocean would begin to experience ice-free summers.3That same year, the IPCC predicted that by 2020, global drought will reduce agricultural yields by 50 percent—a prediction it has already retracted.”—https://www.theobjectivestandard.com/2019/09/greta-thunberg-should-be-angry-and-so-should-you/

    Read. Think. Learn. Return to reason—and stop
    brutalizing this child’s mind. Have you no shame? Is behaving as an adult a joke to you advocates emotional blackmail?

    “When Swedish sixteen-year-old Greta Thunberg addressed the United Nations climate change summit on Monday (September 23, 2019), her fear and fury over its lack of urgency was palpable. “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.”1

    It is an appalling tragedy that empty words did, in fact, steal much of Greta’s childhood—words she’s spent irreplaceable hours learning to recite with a passion that makes her parents (an actor and an opera singer) proud. Greta, though, clearly isn’t acting. Through tears of genuine terror, she told applauding adults that...”

    Read the article—it is, enlightening.

    Global warming isn't the only agenda they are propagandizing to our children about. That is almost tolerable compared to the transgender agenda. It's all the rage in Hollywood to adopt or have children, and convince them at the ages of 6 or 7 that they want to be the opposite sex. Check out Angelina Jolie's little trans twin daughter; or Charleze Theron's little adopted boy that she turned into a girl when he was only about 7. This is a moral abomination. You want to go trans when you your an adult, have it; but leave our kids alone you sick a**holes.

    This girl needs a good exorcism from all the propaganda she has been indoctrinated with.

    You're right - there's so much of it going on, and it all boils down to Leftists in the media (this includes the entertainment industry), government and our schools turning kids into government-dependent "progressive" GroupThinkers who will grow up to be subjects and wards of the State. I was thinking about that this morning and I feel bad for those little prolebots and the bleak future they are being steered down. If you're a GroupThinker, if you're dependent on government. if you're just a cog in the collectivist machine, you will never be free. You will always be beholden to others. Those of us who grew up during the Cold War and looked in horror and anger at what "progressives" were doing to the hapless people existing (I won't even call it living) beyond the Iron and Bamboo Curtains understand this, but today's kids aren't witnessing that and the progs in government, the media and academia aren't teaching them that.

    Some time ago, the great French liberal (in the classical, European sense of the word) Jean-François Revel wrote a brilliant book - I think it was his last - La Grande Parade, which became Last Exit to Utopia: The Survival of Socialism in a Post Soviet Era in the English-language edition. In it, he credited the survival of socialism after the spectacular collapse of the communist-socialist bloc to this:

    Revel spends a lot of time on the Leftist retreat to the "impregnable fortress of the Utopian ideal" he spends less time on how socialism has been able to advance in America (since he was French and died in 2006 this is understandable) - and that is the part I put in bold face above. The socialists (aka "progressives") in this country are counting on mass historical amnesia to advance their agenda in this country, and as Revel articulated above, they are doing it by ignoring, erasing and inverting the "manifest failures of socialist ideology" that we witnessed during the 20th Century (or the Communist Era, if you prefer). This blind spot is the vacuum that "progressives" need to successfully operate in. Without it, they're stuck right where they were back in the late 1980s and early 90s before their failure and atrocities began fading into the past.

    Ironically, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and as we celebrate what was one of the greatest achievements in human history, socialism is stronger than ever in America.

    I'm sure she would be much happier and less hysterical. There are a lot of adults who could use that exorcism, too. When people become so fearful and so nihilistic that they think people shouldn't bring children into this world there is something seriously wrong with them.

    I'm not attacking this girl, and I don't support any attacks on her, so I don't see why I need to answer your question.

    Okay, anyone who attacks this girl is doing their own message a disservice. And it's not very manly. She's just a little girl. Still, the adults putting this girl on a soapbox are just as bad, if not worse, since they had to know this would happen if she were given a spotlight.
