She should be arrested for this blatant attempt to incite violence. _______ Greta Thunberg apologizes for "against the wall" comment "Yesterday I said we must hold our leaders accountable and ... 'put them against the wall" https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/gr...vist-apologizes-for-against-the-wall-comment/
Funny, just a Swedish saying to hold them accountable. I agree with that, just some snowflakes are complaining...... DD
Lol wtf does put someone against the wall mean? I’ve never heard the term but my first reaction is that it means pressure somebody, which would seem appropriate when talking about trying to pressure people to take action on climate change.
This is sick. This is vile. No human being should say or tweet such foul language. Agent Greta should be banned for life.
We live in era of political discourse where one side debates in bad faith and the other side just accepts it. From Al Franken resigning over a joke photo to a reporter apologizing for a benign comment about Trump's youngest son, the sane world just pretends that the outcries from these places come from good faith.
Exactly, which is why the Dems need to fight fire with fire...**** the mock outrage, **** the you can name your sone Baron but not make him one - as being outrageous when you turn around and bully a 16 year old girl. DD
Only Trump is allowed to use violence against children, not children against adults. Who does she think she is?
Do you think she is doing this against her will? A rational adult addressing a 16 year old autistic girl who advocates for conservationism but you disagree with her message: "I appreciate Greta's enthusiasm for her cause but my administration believes that we must take a more pragmatic approach to solve these issues" A response from someone who is throwing red meat to a cult of personality base who doesn't care about rational discourse in regards to a 16 year old autistic girl who is an activist for conservationism: "She needs to check her anger management issues". One expresses a disagreement without insulting a autistic child and the other is just meant to throw red meat. You can figure out for yourself which is the more responsible route for the man with the most powerful bully pulpit on the planet. Also, I don't think you really care about teenagers being activists. I'm sure you would applaud a 16 year old second amendment activist.
Not really. Kids are generally stupid, have no life experience, and make poor arguments. The only thing they have going for them is when people defend them they do this stuff.
No reason to defend them if people didn't attack her and I'm not referring to random internet people. I expect random vitriolic vile comments and there is nothing we can do about that and that is best ignored. I'm speaking of those with clout and power insulting her character in a childlike way. Be better. They aren't children. I think it's fair to ask more from our leaders where they can be reasonable with children who disagree with them. A responsible president would probably just ignore a child activist who is an activist for a cause they disagree with.
You seem really worried Republicans are jealous of Democrats and will end up shooting themselves in the foot ruining conservative chemistry and destroying any chance of lasting power.
Which is what is amazing about this 16 year old kid. She has much more going for her than plenty of adults. She has the ear of world leaders, she has the courage to stand up against the world leaders that try to bully her, she's an advocate for a worthy cause, and has done all of that despite the added challenges of Autism. So this particular kid goes against the characteristics of the majority of kids you describe in your post.
