Except they aren't addressing the point, they're attacking the person.

Are white people not allowed to make points in case they look like old posters? An odd hot take.

When you resort to posting views from such people, you have to ask questions about how skewed your world view is. I am not sure if you just constantly soak up the right wing propaganda from the Express, Mail, Guido, etc or if you actually have done some research on your own?

Don't be gullible and regurgitate the lies, do some research, read the science and analyse the evidence.

I don't colour code people so not sure what your point is

We might already past the point we can do anything, yet still we obsess with other trifling issues like Brexit. All of which will be an irrelevance at the end of the day as we keep ignoring the main threat to our future.

Well we should have left already, and could now be focusing on other things such as this.

And if all else fails turn on the water works.

You linked to an article that did. Are white people with vague resemblances to posters drawn 80 years ago not allowed to have opinions?

Make a change by showing passion for something without resorting to pure venom I suppose.

The Irish Times answers the question - How can a 16-year-old girl in plaits, dedicated to trying to save the planet, inspire such incandescent rage?

Quote:

But who’s the real freak – the activist whose determination has single-handedly started a powerful global movement for change, or the middle-aged man taunting a child with Asperger syndrome from behind the safety of their computer screens?
And that, of course, is the real reason why Greta Thunberg is so triggering. They can’t admit it even to themselves, so they ridicule her instead. But the truth is that they’re afraid of her. The poor dears are terrified of her as an individual, and of what she stands for – youth, determination, change.

Just look at the hate on Greta's face.

Disgust, not hate, imho.

jfman · 23-09-2019, 21:53

If you record anyone speaking forcefully at 50 frames per second for a number of minutes, or snap hundreds of reactions to what’s going on around them, somewhere in there will be select photos for your hate piece.

Disgust, as in disgusted the cameras moved away from her.

More than a single frame, that just happens to coincide with him coming into view. Even the BBC took the stance that she was just more than a little bit annoyed.

Cameras captured the moment in which the 16-year-old’s expression changes from a slight curiosity to what looks like steely anger as the American president walked by.

A face like thunder from Trump stealing her thunder.

I think if someone is entering the world of politics then challenging their politics is fair game but there is something very disturbing about the fully grown men attacking the appearance and the autism of a 16 year old girl.
