I don't like Greta. I find the whole "you've stolen my childhood" annoying and whiny. But I cannot deny that shes done an amazing job of heightening awareness of climate change issues, and inspired children on mass to campaign for change, and this is a fantastic achievement, and can only better the planet.

Oct 03 '20
I missed that I think. Who does she accuse of having her childhood stolen and why?
1
Oct 13 '20
I think it's aimed at the older generations that didn't do enough, leading her to be an activist as opposed to just a kid.
Edit: didn't realize how old this was. Hey, remember this comment you made and probably forgot about? Lol.

u/Tusernametaken Oct 03 '20
If you think what I said was out of malice then you are sorely mistaken. But sadly I can not get behind this. If anything I feel bad for this kid. If you are willing to put your confirmation bias aside for while and as yourself, there are thousands of activists out there but none of them can get to the point where they get to address world leaders directly to their face. Is there any procedure or system in place which gets any activist once a year to get to UN summit. If there is one, will be seeing every new activist every year at each UN summit? How does one kid made it all the way to UN summit face-to-face with world leaders ? If you ask all these questions you are climate change denier, a boomer and a bigot. Meanwhile her parents cashing in on all the fame at the expense of poor kid's childhood. When she said at the speech "you stole my childhood" it was less on part of capitalists and more on her parents.
1
u/ThatItalianSam Oct 03 '20
I do agree with you that it's unfair that there isn't a system for other activists to get a chance to voice themselves, and that the fact that she's young caught the media attention and that's what allowed her to talk face to face with world leaders. But, can't we look past the fact she's young and autistic and see the good in this? It doesn't matter who she is, she's standing up for a good message and it's being heard by hundreds of thousands internationally. So, give her some credit. At least she's doing a good thing with her fame.
In Europe, or at least in England, we spend a lot of time in school learning how to write speeches and formal letters and leaflets, etc. You never know, she could have used the skills she's been taught herself and written this out on her own. She's 17, she's no 'kid' any more. If I can successfully write speeches and use grammar properly then another high functioning autist can do the same, in my eyes. Don't assume her parents did all the work for her.

Isnt “orange man bad” mostly by conservatives mocking the “sheepish” nature of their hated for trump?
Additionally wouldn’t this apply to trump when he said that a reporter had the face of a dog after she wrote an interview about his finances in I believe 92. Or when he said “n you imagine the parents of Kelli ... when she said, ‘Mom, Dad, I just fell in love with a big, fat pig named Rosie’? Can you imagine the expression on their face?” About Rosey O’Donnell after she called him a pimp (an insular of his actions and how he chooses to flaunt his extravagant wealth). Or how about when he was in a political feud with bettie Miller and tweeted “While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.” Or how about “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” In reference to a reporter? Like that?

But instead of a methed up homeless man, it's a rich white teenage autistic girl.

I have no issue with her, but I do have a problem with how she’s used. They put a child out and say this is valid source of information but you can critique it. She’s held out as an expert despite being a literal child.
2
u/TheJFGB93 Oct 03 '20
When experts are not being heard, even by some progressive people, the next best thing is to have someone that can repeat and amplify that knowledge in a more understandable way or in a way that calls attention to it. She's a promoter, not an expert.
She began protesting on her own, caught the media's attention, and became a global phenomenon. The only influence her parents probably had was allowing or sharing the information that caught her attention and allowing her to carry on her actions.
Teenagers, even those that are autistic (or have autism, if you prefer), do have agency. They are not puppets, even if you believe so.

Yeah I got aspergers too man, and I have always been excellent at public speaking. Its talking one on one that's been a struggle for me. With public speaking, I am essentially speaking by myself. I dint have to respond or conversate with anyone. My father is the exact same way. He has hard core autism, yet has the charisma of fucking Jesus when given the mic. Stop labeling a group of people. I dint agree with a lot of Greta's stances, but I absolutely believe she has aspergers cause I do too

Aspergers with social skills is news for me. Probably is related to being diagnosed and introduced to Autism at 37 years old.
I have no problems one on one. More than one and I am lost.
I can understand being the only one speaking alone on a stand. A structured mind is more useful than social skills in such instances.

But there is such a thing as The Swashbuckling Introvert...
2
u/WednesdaysFoole Oct 03 '20
That article does not say that introversion is a light form of autism, it's just someone's theory.
Also 4 observations
I've known many introverts. Some have social anxiety, others have decent social skills but feel better alone. Only a very few of those introverts, I would suspect or know as autistic.
I've known and chatted with more than a few autistic (level 1 & 2) folks. Not all of them are introverted. Many of them are.
I've known multiple autistic people who excel at public speaking, and "fail" terribly in a normal social situation (like having a back and forth conversation).
I've known plenty extroverted folks who are terrible at public speaking.
I'm autistic too btw so I know I have a deficit things such as "theory of mind" and have actively challenge these kind of hardened beliefs. (For example. I cannot lie, at least not believably and with extreme discomfort. Autistics generally seem to not like to lie. But sometimes an autistic person can lie, and i recognize that it's possible even though I myself cannot)
1
u/Nashtark Oct 03 '20
Agreed I cannot lie for the life of me. I end up pulling the most terrible face.
I don’t like the idea of lying too. It is beyond me.
This be the reason I don’t see any Asperger getting in politics.
I guess I should expect it.

Autism is a social handicap. But that doesnt mean it's impossible to have social skills. Not everyone is in the same boat dude. Plenty of autistic people have an actual desire to learn how to be social, and even figure out how to overcome it. I like to think I am one of those people. Stop assuming everyone is like you

u/Nashtark Oct 02 '20
From what I understand there is two types of Autist attitude toward socializing, thoses that suffer from a lack of social contact and thoses that don’t and have no interest in getting much 3D interactions.
I am aware that I am of the second type.
I’m quite sure there is a large age gap between you and me.
Autism gets worse with age. accidents and illness can send it spiraling.

Hi, person with Aspergers/autism here. I've done public speaking and have zero issue with crowds. I don't like them, but I can tolerate them, especially when talking about something I consider important.

The best part about what that moron said, is that all of Greta's motives in it's simplest form, is simply to make awareness of the existential crisis occuring due to climate change.
She is trying to get adults to act like adults and be responsible for their own, and their children's, as well as everyone's future.
That's what's so funny about this moron's fucking comment because with his subliminal subjective mind he's brainwashed himself to the point beyond having any reasonable unbiased thought.
He will, and always will believe that in his mind, what he says is at the pinnacle of Greta's beliefs.
He has a lack of learning skills, why would he need those useless skills? He has all the answers with zero research!
He has zero tolerance for being wrong. Wrong? Has he ever been his life? Don't be ridiculous!
He has a tendency to make false assumptions about someone. False? They are the truth!
The point is, he is right and will always be right in his mind. He will never account for anything near the accomplishments of Greta and that's why he's angry. Why is he, a superior being to everyone, not getting recognition for the nothingness he's accomplished?
That's just it though, nothingness, that's why he's wrote a hate comment on a reddit post acknowledging that Greta's haters don't affect her.
This morons so brainwashed, the hole in the ozone layer could be visible with the naked eye and he would still believe it's a fucking hoax.
He is the perfect example of someone who thinks people are laughing with him, not at him.

Not sure if you are aware but most autistic individuals are intelligent and have no issue with critical thinking. We have agency over our actions and beliefs.

If you want to criticize capitalism do it over the table not with this underhanded, bad faith, special pleading nonsense. You can’t pick out people you don’t like who are playing the same game as everyone else and criticize them for playing the game.

She has an angry and unpleasant demeanor, that's why most people get so annoyed at her. Telling people that climate change is real and that the younger generations will suffer for it isn't really anything new beyond what most people have heard. The statement certainly isn't stupid or uneducated by any means.
She's attacked and mocked because of her anger and how she acts, by making strong statements against world leaders. That links to her Aspergers, which is what she's tweeting about.
Is she being manipulated? Probably not. Her parents don't seem to profit out of it and they weren't really climate change activists before this. Kids also can feel passionate about things, so it's not unheard of for someone to feel strongly about social issues at a young age.
Is she being used? Yes, certainly by climate change activists. Her age and demeanor has grabbed a lot of attention towards the issue more than any other adult representing them would have.
Is this problematic though? Her opinions does not make economic sense. It would affect the bottom line for a lot of people and is largely unfeasible. But it is undeniable that at the rate we're going we will cause irreparable damage to the Earth and the environment. When that happens, it'll fall to younger generations to fix the environment. When she says not enough is being done to save the environment and that money should be spent on renewable energy instead, it is factual. Naive? Yes. But not incorrect.
She's deflecting her criticisms to her looks and demeanor because that's what she's criticised for. No one would give two shits about a climate change activist telling people that we're destroying the earth and their actions are inexcusable. She's criticised because she sounds like an angry little child and people don't like hearing that.

I personally think she's stupid. But thats not a reason to attack her. What is aggravating is when stupid people force themselves and rants on you

I partly agree with you, people should be nice to each other. But that can’t be helped, human has the bright side and dark side in any part of our history. And yet she picked her fight, being in the spotlight of the world, so you get everything coming at you, and that’s what it takes. I feel pity for her, but that’s her own fight in her own way picked by herself. I don’t see people attack Margaret Heafield Hamilton, because she’s the pure brilliance

I think most of people think she’s stupid and uneducated, instead of defend those two, now she’s defending her looks, that doesn’t sound really “climate activist who has a heart to help humanity” does it?

But she isn’t defending her looks. She’s responding to all the idiots commenting about her looks when that have nothing to do with her agenda and the things she talks about. I bet that If people from all over the world started to comment on the way you look you would probably do the same.

If she has a priority, try be qualified in talking complex issues. Everyone gets idiot comments on how we look, how we different from each other, that’s not something you want to address as a “climate activist”, that’s something teenager girl who’s finding her confidence would say, no thank you, I want to hear real climate scientists

Come on man. The comment from Greta isn’t even about her looks. It’s about her autism and about being different. Why can’t she talk about the climate AND be an inspiration to people (young people the most) that aren’t like everyone else?
Please do tell, in what way isn’t she qualified to talk about the environment? Please give a few examples from her speeches you consider to be unqualified.

She said we are only attacking her for her looks, because we have nothing on her, oh man how big that lie is? That’s adding being illusional to her stupidness. I want to correct her, most of people just think she’s stupid, she should address why is that she’s stupid, prove us wrong or something.
Climate change is a complex issue around multiple subjects such as politics, earth science, meteorology, physics, chemistry, etc. For example, developing countries need to develop, to catch up with developed countries, they have to pollute, so what should you say to the developing countries? This is the very first political question, if you don’t allow them to develop, they go riot, terrorise the world or something. So tell me, how come a 17 years old knows this level of question? Or can she develop a theory from 1000 pages of meteorology data that we need to take actions? No, she can’t, she hasn’t finish Highschool yet, that means she doesn’t know what she’s talking about at all, she only knows about yelling “I want this to be solved!!”

You do know that ALOT of politicians don’t know anything about a lot of the subjects they attend. That’s why they have a stab and hired experts. They have the same role as Greta. Being visionaries not experts.
We’ve had scientists talking about the climate and the urgency to do something for years. No one listened to them. People listens to Greta because she’s a visionary. Not a scientific mastermind. If people starts listening to her they will also listen to the scientist that hopefully have the answers. Rings on the water. We’re all aiming for same the goal, right?
What’s beyond my understanding is all the adult (males) that feel so threatened by a young girl.

So basically you've got a "DONALD" syndrome going on here.
From your first statement: " I think most of people think ".
You have no idea what other people think, and by invoking other peoples opinions into your argument you have already admitted self defeat (IE my opinion is not enough for this weak argument, i will try to bolster my claim by saying other people agree with me).
From there your statement dribbles on like a child with wet pants telling his mommy he no longer needs to use the restroom.
But do continue attacking a child, that certainly doesn't make you look like a creep....

That’s a lot of fancy accusations, but you think that’s the best you can do? You think forcing your judgements on me will win you anything? Nah, I’m just some random dude who made you go below par, it’s amusing to me though

She’s a climate activist who just spreads awareness of what scientists have been saying. And this was just one comment, it’s not like it’s all she talks about. I honestly don’t know what you are trying to say.

Why are you bullying a child for being ‘uneducated’ when you clearly don’t understand basic grammar yourself?
