TiagoRodrigues Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 21 hours ago, Martin B. said: The level of venom that is directed at young people who still have everything to learn from life but who are trying to find Their place in the world is really disgusting. Whether it's Greta, the survivors of the Parkland massacre or any other youngster who protests on the street, they are trying to make a difference in a collapsing world we have given them and by making mistakes normal for their age and according to a code of value that we gave them. This way of knocking them out with reproach for each error is a way of trying to silence them now so that everything remains exactly the same for previous generations. Sad. This entire topic gives me "old bommer" vibes which is sad and pathetic. The 16 year old who talks about climate chance is the target to put down. Not the big corporations that have been using and abusing our environment and taking up resources for decades Imagine spending all this energy to discredit her LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, in her original speech she was asking whole countries to change their ways, not just conglomerates. Among them, Brazil and China. And besides, if you know anything about, say, China, you will understand that such conglomerates created jobs and literally saved billions of people from poverty. People that are hungry NOW, not poor Greta living in an actual socialist country with a pretty great ecological situation still who's worried about her FUTURE. If these conglomerates shut down their factories tomorrow, what will our Greta do to save these children and their families? My main problem with this sutuation is that the forces behind Greta made it all very personal (for impact, obviously). The problem is, the center piece here is a girl from one of the richest countries of the world complaining about "her stolen childhood" and preaching about the very real and very important things in a very hamfisted and sensationalist manner; things she didn't really experience (or not to the extent that a child living next to a toxuc dump waste in Cambodia might experience). It's all very Lady Gaga to me; sad to see that the same kind of approach is now being applied to such important things as the climate change. With that being said, adults attacking a kid on social media is in extremely poor taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the companies who gave those jobs should be switching to electric vehicles and solar/wind power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
