Person of the year! Well deserved.


The kid's got it right.

reply

Sure, an autistic potato screeching the script from her handlers gets person of the year while people fighting for their rights in Hong Kong are ignored.

reply

Empty your clipboard and go back to your basement, tosser.

reply

He's right.

reply

I understand you don't give a shit. There are more of you. Most don't, even. It's ok, few can lead.

reply

Her parents are leading her.

reply

Sure, an autistic potato screeching the script from her handlers gets person of the year while people fighting for their rights in Hong Kong are ignored.

As a person, she has become much more important and controversial than anybody in Hong Kong (as a person, I mean: individual). The choice is right.

Any case, the fact that a half retarded chick becomes rightfully person of the year says a lot about the current state of the western world πŸ€”

reply

The ditto brigade are going to be in a state over this. They'll need a special episode of Rush to feel safe again.

Bravo Greta!! ⛡️ 🌍 ⏳πŸ₯‡

reply

Yup

reply

Can't believe this. Is this part of Make a Wish or something?

reply

Wishing for a better world indeed. Stop littering please.

reply

Yes, please have her go tell that to Africa and Asia, I noticed she skipped those continents

reply

So you can't choose for yourself?

reply

It's what happens when you put a ugly little kid out there and have them throw a tantrum. The snowflakes have been conditioned to give them a trophy just for showing up. The amount of hypocrisy of this little Gullom Girl is what really irks me... Leonardo DiCaprio is probably the only celebrity that flies around more polluting the environment while yammering about how everyone needs to save the environment than this little ugly troll from Sweden. Once upon a time the only nuisance from Sweden was the disco crap from ABBA... now they've thrown out this ugly kid.

reply

Dissing ABBA really sums you up nicely.

reply

And you apparent love of them explains your ignorance.

reply

thomas is clearly just an angry queen, not a dancing one.

reply

That's the best comeback? Wow... that's really pathetic stop sucking on your mama's titties and grow up.

reply

How is it a comeback? I wasn't even talking to you. But thanks for thinking I care.

Now go back to trolling that teenager tommy :)

reply

I wouldn't try reasoning with the OP. He's been brainwashed.

reply

LOL!

reply

I'm legit confused as to what she has accomplished. Perhaps you could clarify?

reply

She made fighting climate change an urgent topic.

reply

I mean, this has been a major talking point of a lot people, and even the formation
of specialized organizations before her. Why is she deserving of this more than them? Also, is complaining actually an accomplishment? MLK, Rosa Parks...they actually DID something, there is a huge difference.

reply

Sure, but she went viral. It was luck but the important thing is that people and politicians are talking about it now and are making further legislation and are really acting on it! Handing Thunberg that "prize" is symbolic. But she does deserve it.

reply

I think that's what my point is. There really isn't anything happening because of her. They are acknowledging her, at least the people who already had the same thoughts and had already vocalized them, but there is nothing new that's in place or even started through legislation because of her. I looked, and most of the articles praised her, but acknowledge that things unfortunately aren't actually changing. I've got nothing against her personally, but she's a novelty talking point, that's it. She's only a kid, that's reasonable, but person of the year is a bit too far.

reply

Great storms begin with a simple breeze.

reply

Trumptards need something to complain about in these trying times for their cult leader.

reply

Well we'll still have to save them.

reply

You have room to talk. LIEberals have been whining & slandering ever since their favored candidate lost the election (lol), like a bunch of pathetic crybabies -- wah, wah. (PS I LOVE the sound of Dems/Libs crying in the morning... and the afternoon, evening and all night).

reply

Trump or Clinton? I hate to break it to you but it's almost 2020, not still 2016.
And so sad you believe there is a democracy in the USA. Proportional representation is where it's at baby. You might get there some day.

reply

Do you lack reading comprehension? I cited the 2016 election to show how far back Lefties have been complaining & crying.

reply

Crying? Over you?

reply

It wasn’t urgent before? What do you think the brainless left has been screaming about for the last 30+ years?

Ted Dancin said in 1988 oceans would rise 100’ in the next 10 years.

Time to wake up. The clock is ticking. The C squads moronic claims fed to her by international communists will fail as usual.

Science is not a popularity contest. Consensus is not part of the scientific method.

The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge. And there's no place for it in the endeavor of science. We do not know beforehand where fundamental insights will arise from about our mysterious and lovely solar system. And the history of our study of the solar system shows clearly that accepted and conventional ideas are often wrong and that fundamental insights can arise from the most unexpected sources." - Carl Sagan

reply

She didn't stop in Africa or Asia and yell at them, so...

reply

They need someone else. Feel free to apply yourself for your kid's sake.

reply

She's a fraud.

reply

How? She's a teen asking for attention. That's as real as it gets.

reply

She proved that Peter Jackson wasted millions creating a CGI Gullom character when all he needed to do was hire her.

reply

I heard she's trying out for the part of Corky in the "Life Goes On" reboot.

reply

How mean, Corky wasn't that ugly or stupid.

reply

Ouch!

reply

Hahaha!

reply

Or Johnny Depp.

reply

Yeah, she kinda looks like Gullom, huh?

reply

His twin sister.

reply

She accomplished bringing the climate change theme park back to relevance when it was slowly drying off in the last ten years and more and more reasonable people found no evidence whatsoever of actual problems regarding climate.

reply

Oh... that's right according to Al Gore's movie everyone in New York City should be clinging to a life raft right now.

reply

Yep. Al Gore in 2006: sea-level rising by 20 inches in ten yers. No more arctic ice in ten years.

reply

Yup. God it's so fascinating to see those trump suckers triggered! How can people live like that!

reply

[deleted]

I don't support Trump.
That's a real headscratcher for ya isn't it?

reply

Proof that people can learn.

reply

...while you ironically prove that people can refuse to learn due to LIEberal idiotology and your gullibility in buying into the Leftwing #ClimateChangeHoax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8455KEDitpU. Watch the video and wake up to reality, my friend.

reply

A denier! You're an endangered species, friendo.

reply

Yes, I deny your loony false religion which is easily disproven in a 12-minute video, not to mention loads of other data. More & more people are seeing the light & laughing at Leftie climate alarmists. You types have been crying "The sky is falling" for over a hundred years. Here are some examples from "scientists" back then:

β€’ the World May Be Frozen Up Again – New York Times, February 1895
β€’ 1902 - β€œDisappearing Glaciers…deteriorating slowly, with a persistency that means their final annihilation…scientific fact…surely disappearing.” – Los Angeles Times
β€’ 1912 - Prof. Schmidt Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age – New York Times, October 1912
β€’ 1923 - β€œScientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada” – Professor Gregory of Yale University, American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress, – Chicago Tribune
β€’ 1923 - β€œThe discoveries of changes in the sun’s heat and the southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age” – Washington Post1895 - Geologists Think
β€’ 1924 - MacMillan Reports Signs of New Ice Age – New York Times, Sept 18, 1924
β€’ 1929 - β€œMost geologists think the world is growing warmer, and that it will continue to get warmer” – Los Angeles Times, in Is another ice age coming?
β€’ 1932 - β€œIf these things be true, it is evident, therefore that we must be just teetering on an ice age” – The Atlantic magazine, This Cold, Cold World

So Gollum's, I mean Greta's, doomsday warnings are nothing new. It's the same-old-same-old. Wake up.

Take a math course; key to the universe!

reply

I don't know if you just started following the news, but this is incorrect. Obama had the Climate Action plan in 2008, and the left and Dems have had it as one of their favorite talking points since. Remember the Climate March in 2017? It drew thousands of people. How about all the celebs who make this a big issue. Emma Thompson is hardcore. Mark Ruffalo made a documentary. No, sorry, she isn't anything new or special, she just got sucked into a global episode of "kids say the darndest things". She's a novelty, and that's her only appeal.

reply

Don't forget the offset against Trump and Bolsonaro. And that we are currently writing about her.

reply

Lol. I love all the triggered righties hating in her.

In the end, she has accomplishments and you are all jealous of her.

reply

Yeah

reply

Name one accomplishment of hers....she's the best at skipping school I've ever seen, but other than that, what has she done?

reply

I'm trying to get that answer too. The best I've got is "she brought awareness"? I was under the impression that climate change has been a major talking point for the last 5 or 6 years, so I don't know how you bring awareness to something that's currently being discussed constantly.

reply

Awareness is nice but action needs to be taken FFS! You can't talk trees to appear. Because of her, policians are finally pushed to steer toward annecologically sound future..because it's hot! (pun intended)

reply

You keep talking about what politicians are doing because of her, so please give me some specific examples.

reply

Most intelligent politicians are laughing at her.

reply

Speed reductions in the Netherlands were pushed through lately because of the new awareness that Thunberg rose.

reply

Nope, this was discussed before she came on the scene, and none of the articles about this mention her name even once. I'm going to leave it at that, because you are obviously incapable of admitting your wrong, which makes a conversation with you pointless.

reply

[deleted]

You don't grasp the concept of how awareness has political influence? Never mind then, you are not the audience. Fleeing won't help you off the planet, did you know that?

reply

See ya, whoever you were!

reply

You've replied to everything else except this, which happens to be a very specific question. It's almost like you're full of shit, and you know it.

reply

The sad thing is that you really don't understand.

reply

Help us understand, unless of course you don't understand either.

Such first world problems.

reply

First world as in only world you mean

reply

See, this is the kind of statement that gets me from the cult-of-climate change people that somehow, only they have the innate ability to see the truth and understand how something as complex as how the climate of a planet over millennia works...and everybody else is just plain stupid. My guess is that this little girl resonates with them purely on an emotional level and that is what they're responding to rather than any empirical scientific data. In fact, I believe they subconsciously manipulate data so as to fit those emotions to form a belief system which is why they go on the attack when those emotions are challenged. You win people over with proof, not hyperbole. I was once told during a debate that I just hated (note the emotional language) environmentally sound things like electric cars. I have nothing at all against electric cars, they just aren't there from a financial and technological standpoint yet. Build an affordable electric car that rivals the driving experience I have now, won't need to constantly recharge and won't cost a fortune to repair when it breaks down and I'll be onboard. Instead, climate folks rush to get into those cars, despite all their shortcomings because, in their minds, it affords them an air of superiority over everyone else.

I don't invest my beliefs in politicians or celebrities and I certainly ain't gonna bow down to that little girl.

reply

Brain-dead from capitalism. Don't shit where you eat dude. Even if it's cheaper than building an outhouse.

reply

Excellent post, Reeveman. πŸ™‚

reply

Very sound logic, and well put.

reply

Nailed it. They think emotionally, not logically. And that’s why their religious movement had to be changed from cooling to warming to change to disruption. Every time anything happens it triggers their simple minded emotions.

reply

Alright then. You do your thing. Good luck!

reply

Hear Hear! Well said Reeveman!

reply

What accomplishments are those again?

Detail please.

Oh, and I voted for HK.

reply

Awareness for the urgency of fighting climate change to the point that actual laws are being written.

reply

LOL... what laws?

reply

Speed limits in the Netherlands were hugely influenced by the climate debate.

reply

If she actually did something besides throw a scripted tantrum at a bunch of lazy, selfish, overpaid suits at the UN, maybe; but frankly, she's an ugly, retarded, potato-faced puppet with childish pigtails, comes from the rape capital of the world, and it's a very cold, swampy country run by short-sighted cowards that don't give a shit about their own people. Frankly, there's nothing she has that I would want....nothing.

reply

Try Atkins bb.

reply

This. She has literally accomplished more in a few weeks than Ditto in Chieffff has in almost 3 years in office! And she is more respected by world leaders.

reply

So, does she get a free subscription, or what?

reply

Nah, just immortality.

reply

Lol. Without googling it, nobody has any idea who the Time person of the year is after a few years at best. Immortality is a HUGE leap.

reply

So?

reply

...a needle pulling thread🎡...

reply

Greta brings us back to DO

reply

Awwwe, you skipped a couple.

reply

I'll skip a couple more, you will find your own way I'm sure. Good luck!

reply

Did they have to cut any trees to print their magazine?! 😯

reply

Sure. Sometimes you have to use weapons to fight war.
