Greta and the aristocrat sail the high seas to save the planet.

Interesting tweet that. I'd presume the entire school strike movement she refers to is also against going to school no?

Ok she said the wrong thing there but there was also gretas speech in Parliament Square in London where she called for 'civil disobedience' and for people there to 'rebel'. Rebellions and civil disobedience normally end up with people getting seriously hurt. Rabel rousing generally not a good idea imo..

Well, according to Google.

Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government. By some definitions, civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called 'civil'. Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance.

But, back in the day, I'm sure opponents of Martin Luther King and Gandhi would have similarly tried to spin the narrative that they were inciting violence.

It is interesting how yourself and others suggest repeatedly that she is a 16 year old girl, no one listens to what she has to say, but often then go on to focus on what she has said to try to make a point. Pick a lane.

I mean, there's needs must, but then there's this. Guess that's some of the humour Gozunda is crying out for.

Well I'm glad your laughing at something :rolleyes:

Also funny again you dont even quote me but you just cant help yourself name calling and getting old digs in lol. Look we get it - some don't like humour and the only reason being here is to play the roll of white knight to princess greta etc etc. Again no substantive argument with your comment but hey ...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I did make it clear - it can lead to violence. But you must have missed that bit

Anyone can talk away still doesn't mean someone is saying anything relevant - bit like gretas the London speech tbh

You're comparing our little old greta to Martin Luther King and Gandhi

Sure whatever....

Is using your username 'name calling' now? I didn't realise it was offensive.
Maybe you should have chosen a different one. Sorry for assisting you with calling out what you have been trying (and failing) to direct the thread towards.

No substantive argument? Oh, I know.

Don't know what relevance it has whether you read it in Italian or not.

Greta explains nothing all her so called writing is written by someone else, she have a Facebook page passed off as her page but it is managed by some man in India and her Twitter account is more than likely the same.

I disagree.
I don't use Facebook but I think there is a consistency in tone and message on her Twitter so I believe it is her.

Hey, if Donald Trump, President of the US, has time to be on Twitter, pretty sure Greta can do so.

Once again you’re not paying attention to my posts, how many times do i have to keep telling you that?

As i have told you already, when the alternatives are there and available i will gladly use them.

You've said it yourself, you have nothing to offer here (and you were right about that), but, as long as you keep posting, others are entitled to respond.

Consistent, well if one person uses it then that would easily explain the consistency. She doesn’t post anything or answer any queries on her so called Facebook page.

And once again you’re twisting my posts , isn’t that something to offer? Pledging to use alternatives? How is that not something to offer? I never said no one is not entitled to respond, stop making things up. You’re clearly a spoofer.

Pledging to use alternatives while tearing strips out of someone trying to advocate for the development of alternatives and repeatedly claiming you don't care about the issue.

Thank you for your service.
I'm sure next years Time award is yours.

I suppose it is when constantly doing that whilst not even quoting a comment from me .

Anything I have seen you post belongs more in Gozunda's category of 'a light hearted take' with a sinister twist maybe more so than something meaningful.

Again look we understand you dont get humour but all just a little a tad weird and obsessive no?

But you are right there you have no substantive argument. But no worries...

Do you want me to quote all the times you've said it is a humorous thread? Given that everyone else is ignoring you on this, I've tried to help you.

'But no worries'........ Is that your new 'But there we are'

If you had no worries you wouldn't be in a tizzy about it.

Her handlers do all her communication i'd imagine. She is quite uneasy when not speaking from script. Which is fine, that's their job.

I personally have no problem with her advocacy.

The only thing I have against her was her ludicrous speech at the UN talking about her "stolen childhood". It was the height of cringe incredulity. That irritated a lot of people for obvious reasons not least the question of whether or not they are even her own words.

Question - Who are you tearing strips out of?
Answer - Greta

Was it that hard to understand?

I suppose the best thing would be to ask yourself Is name calling a poster relevant or just having a dig like other comments? But hey as I said no worries - simply pointing out thats not playing the ball'. But then perhaps not new eh? :pac:

It was not just English language media who took up her comment as a suggestion that the politicians should be shot- her comment was interpreted in this manner across many different countries, in several different languages- not leastly English, the language the tweet appears to have been in.

If you're communicating in a language that is not your first tongue- and cognisant of the fact that she does have a team behind her- the very least that could be done is assuring that unintended meanings are ironed out before you hit send.

Its easy to suggest she is just a 16 or 17 year old girl and she will make mistakes- however, she is a figurehead with a team behind her- they should be watching out that stupid mistakes like this aren't made (unless, of course its deliberate- to get a few extra column inches, as things seem to have slowed down for them).

The Spanish conference- and the UN declaration- are acknowledged to have been complete and utter damp squibs- she needs something else to keep herself in the media spotlight- coming up with weird little threats like this- and then 'explaining' them away as some sort of lost in translation mistake- does that trick.

She needs to exercise more care- now that she has however many followers she has on social media- it only takes one to take her literally...…….

That’s all in your paranoid deluded mind. I criticised her and disagreed about her, huge difference. Are you finding that hard to understand?

Aww are we still angry that i showed people on this thread Greta’s car? Ah bless....

You see "Tell me how" again theres a need to quote posters properly and in context.

But you see I never ever said (or suggested)"no one listens to what she has to say" So yes that is complete bolloxs

I do focus on what greta has said when it does not stand up to scrutiny. Like her end of civilisation ideas and various other rantings.

But you making things up as to what posters say is not discussion. It's horse manure at best and frankly stupid .

I see we have more sports analogies thrown in for good measure- which is it this time "pick a lane' - bowling or car racing? Doesn't matter tbh just find it funny. Like the other ones from golf and what have you: oh and 'pivot' which you seem to like - even when it doesnt reflect anything said. But there we go again eh?

For all the greta supporters in your life. The perfect Christmas present

On a related note Charlie Hebdo seem to be having a field day with greta cartoons ...

Says it all when for some, the highlighting of the fact that people are dying, is a source of humour.
