She has proposed solutions such as replanting forests, protect the existing ones, stop governments from subsidizing fossil fuels but you don't want to hear that do you?

if you've ever seen her off script she doesn't have clue what's going on. her solutions are non viable.

Two things...
- The Wired story only points out a code bug that could show the admins behind a page, it's a non-story in terms of Greta.
- The Gateway Pundit is perhaps worse than Breitbart, you'll have to do much, much better.

Greta is female.
She is from a socialist country
She is divisive
Her campaign promotes fear

Boyan is male.
He is from a country that encourages capitalism
He solution unites people
His solution promotes industry
His solution offers hope.

This is so ingrained, just look at the the Title of this thread the the articles linked...
They all list Greta first...


This is from the CIA World Facebook on Sweden:

Sweden’s small, open, and competitive economy has been thriving and Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living with its combination of free-market capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.

If you want the world to take global warming / climate change, whatever people are calling it these days seriously, you have to do better than a bumbling 16 year old whose father controls her social media feed.

From wikipedia:

Person of the Year (called Man of the Year or Woman of the Year until 1999)[1] is an annual issue of the United States news magazineTime that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year".[2]

There's only one place in the world where that actually works, and it's Northern European nations with very homogeneous cultures... where everybody has very similar expectations about work ethic.

In nations with diverse, discrete cultures it doesn't work because the groups which have different cultural outlooks will end up wanting to receive the highest common-denominator output while providing the lowest common-denominator input to the system.

I could happily live in most of those socialist-y Northern European countries.... but I could not happily live in the US with Euro-socialism. In the US, we have to respect diversity and let everybody "Do You". But I need to keep the fruits of "me doing me", or at least have a fair sharing system. "To those who need it most, from those most able to provide it" does not work for me, and I took up arms once during the cold war to avoid that.

missing the point again.

point was the autistic girl didn't write any of her Facebook posts. But keep worshipping a mentally ill little girl being pushed by grifters.

If by 'point' you mean referencing a far right 'news' source that often peddles conspiracy theories then it is gladly missed. Nice attempt to belittle her as well, she actually has Asperger Syndrome which also doesn't warrant ridicule but here we are.

I’m really happy you are not in charge.

Me too, waaaay to much work to get people to let go of their mythical bedtime stories. But alas, the 'nones' are happily growing and reason over faith is being used where it matters.

Yeah, you strike me as someone who is not up to doing allot of work. But alas, you have your place in society I guess.
