Climate Activist Greta

Mental DISABLITIES plural, and yes that qualifies you as disabled. Are you unaware of how disability works?

Aspergers is a form of autism. Its a recognized mental disability, because people afflicted by it essentially cannot read (ie have extreme difficulties with) body language, tone, facial cues, micro expressions etc, which constitutes the majority of communication we make. OCD? Also a mental disability, it causes people to perform certain tasks often in what would be a comic fashion if you didn't know they were afflicted by a mental disability causing the behavior. Anxiety disorder? Same.
Depression was the only thing she presents with that is transient, and I'll note that it comes with massive self esteem issues which also make one easily manipulable.
And again: This is by her own admission. This isn't speculation.

 

Have you thought of telling him no and then enforcing your parental rights and suing the absolute dog **** out of the school if they let him participate anyway? Or is that a foreign concept to you?

 

Okay, even if she's or qualifies as disabled, how is that a relevant argument against the points made? Also, even aspergers is on a scale and you're list while true, is on a different scale in every case. And in many cases, other attributes may be heightened to an extent. I'm very doubtful in her case that she can't read. That isn't nessecarily a part of it. It may be difficult to read since your social learning skills are lesser, but that doesn't mean you can't learn in other ways.

 

Sure, if parents were against this they wouldn’t authorize her to travel outside of the country.

 

I think you are taking it too harsh on the messenger.
However, I do think it’s stupid to waste everyone’s time on listening a speech given by a child who does not fully understand the subject.
It’s not this girl, it’s the adults-enablers.

 

You’re not understanding. A 15 ur old can actually decide for themselves that they want to do something. Getting permission from her parents to do it is not the same as deciding for her. Not sure why you’re struggling with this concept. Oh wait...never mind...

 

No, they cannot.

That's why they're not authorized to make their own decisions by law.

If they could make their own decisions, there would not be a law requiring permission from a parent.

 

Wow....so again, yes a 15 yr old can make a decision to want to do something. Getting permission to do the thing they decided they’d like to do is very different.
Let me try it this way...did you never make your own decision on what you wanted to do as a teen? How sad for you if that is the case

 

How do you know she doesn't understand the subject? Her line stating the "fairy tale of eternal economic growth" shows great understanding of the subject, which adults tend to block out because of intellectual laziness and the unwarranted belief that things continue the way they were because of recency bias.

BTW: I bet Trump doesn't understand much about the science of climate change. He believes it is a Chinese hoax. Yet, he makes decisions based on his gut feelings that have serious implications. I don't see people criticizing him for it.

 

To fully understand climate change you should have understanding of concepts of physics, chemistry, geology, history of earth, astronomy, economy, statistics and probability, to have traveled enough to appreciate the size of the planet, have understanding of bias and it’s causes and understand what is a research paper that was peer reviewed.

Those are the very least of what’s needed and I’d argue even most of the adults poorly understand them before forming their opinion on the subject. A 15 year old simply cannot have a full grasp of what climate change debate is about.

The subject has a lot of good arguments on both sides but many made it pretty much an iPhone vs Android debate - impossible to truly discuss without conversation getting political and insults flying around.

 

Not her message, she was pimped, good job missing that elephant in the room. She doesn’t have a handle on puberty, yet she has one one global policy? I’m Not sure why liberals accuse themselves of being intelligent.

 

Can you back that up? Particularly the first paragraph?

 

No, they cannot.

That's why their parents are required, by law, to make the decision for them.

 

Why in Hades do we have parents anymore? This thread has gone round the bend. Do parents let their kids have a margarita instead of orange juice at supper if the kid wants the margarita? Ok little Johnny, I know playing in the breaker box is dangerous, but if that’s what you really want to do, here’s an aluminum step ladder, a stainless frame folder, and a steel crow bar. Have fun Johnny.

 

It's not a question. She does on more than one level, each one presenting unique challenges but all together make her fairly incapable of picking up on being used or manipulated. Normal 16 yr olds have trouble with that, autistic teenagers have essentially an impossible time of it.

Shes reading off a script. The person who wrote the script is not there to be challenged, just the nice mentally disabled kid who cannot be gainsayed or challenged because then you're an awful person who bullies the mentally disabled. It's disgusting, and abusive.

Its aspergers it is characterized by an inability to read social cues for gods sake, as in something in her mind doesnt put the pieces together the way everyone else's does. That is literally what happens.

She literally states that her parents freaked their sweet little disabled child out about climate so much it triggered her selective mutism and she didnt speak for months. You know what that sounds like to me? In my grade school there was a sweet mentally disabled kid who people took great amusement out of spinning up to watch him explode. They'd intentionally trigger an episode in him for their own gain. It was horrifying. This is the same.

 

It's absolutely slimy, lower than whale feces. Hide behind a child. Same way the pimped out the Parkland kids.

 

Because this girl has no first hand knowledge of the causes of a climate that's been changing for billions of years. She was hand picked because she has asbergers syndrome so leftists could shame those who disagree. She was used in the most despicable manner.

This is a standard mode of operation. Democrats picked a man to run the largest organization in the world who had never run so much as a lemonade stand because he is black and anyone who disagreed with his policies could be called a racist. The result: He had the worst record of any full term President before the Supreme Court and was the first President in history to be at war all 8 years. Our Nobel Prize winner was a disaster in every way possible, particularly for those he put in harm's way.

 

She's the equivalent of a Street preacher telling you that the end is nigh. Atone for your sins to stave off The inferno.

The Church of climate change.

It seems strange when I can draw a parody between this in religion based on just about every religious trope I can think of.

 

Idk, this kid seems to do pretty well in social situations. Probably better than me. And to everyone stating how shes "mentally disabled". BS. It's highly probable people like Jefferson or Ben Franklin were on the spectrum.

 

if she was talking about the flat Earth she would probably be able to deliver that message very well to. Crazy is crazy no matter how you deliver it.

The message that everyone should panic because the apocalypse is at hand is f****** crazy

 

Difference is I don't consider flat earthers mentally disabled though. They are denialists, plain and simple. Crazy is completely subjective. Einstein was actually insane up till the end, trying to prove unified field theory like a crazy person.

 

I don't either. That's why I didn't say they're mentally disabled. The stupid s*** they say is crazy.

Yes the term crazy is subjective. I consider the idea that the end is nigh and we all must repent to be crazy.

It's subjective but I just did find how I'm using it. I'm hoping you understand now.

 

I just realized I probably should have been quoting someone else in my original post, but oh well it worked out lol.

 

No worries.
