Not Greta, she said her future was stolen:

Now we probably don’t even have a future any more.

Because that future was sold so that a small number of people could make unimaginable amounts of money. It was stolen from us every time you said that the sky was the limit, and that you only live once.

So which one?

I think the world is sick of self-righteous lectures from wealthy white people.

That's basically what Greta is/was saying, she's lecturing the western world leaders.

It's even present in the above quote:

Because that future was sold so that a small number of people could make unimaginable amounts of money.

She's lecturing the UN, which is more black and brown than anything. Face it, she's a privileged little shit who needs to stay in her lane. You whites don't get to decide whether or not you're racist. Recognize that privilege, white supremacy, homophobia, toxic masculinity, and gender normativity are layered issues. It's easy to call a Nazi a racist because they are so obviously a racist. Not all racists are willing to take up that mantle.

What does her being white have to do with anything? You're just coming across as bitter and racist instead of addressing her actual message.

You can't be racist against white people. The only people who ever claim racism against whites, are racists.

Chipit said:

Now let's change one word.

You can't be racist against black people. The only people who ever claim racism against blacks, are racists.

That's what you sound like.

Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury. Raise the double standard.

What color is your skin?

[–]Mnemonic 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

She spoke at the UN because the UN invited her, maybe gear your anger towards the UN for giving her the stage, or towards the (mass)media for how it's all being handled.

You whites

? Are you trying to address me?

So are you saying that if Greta had a different skin color, you would like her message?

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

Whites command institutional power and run a system that benefits them at the expense of all other identity groups. You think anyone would have paid attention to her if she wasn't white and blonde? "They're not gonna really care."

[–]Mnemonic 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

How's that an answer, we were talking about Greta and the UN and how it seemed to look like to me that you were saying that you only dislike Greta because the color of her skin... And now some CNN (American) bullshit is thrown in.

Maybe I should have been more clear: If she was a different skin color would YOU have liked her message?

Also how is she blonde? Are we even talking about the same person?

For those that consider this to be an attack on Greta's speech in an attempt to marginalize white culture, well - actually, you're probably right there. Inevitably attempting to broaden accessibility for marginalized groups will come at the cost of the dominant groups. There's only so much attention in the world, and at the moment it is disproportionately directed towards one group. If that upsets you, well - you're on the way out and crying about it won't help.

Getting mad about a 16-year old girl for being white, that will teach ehm!

It's detrimental if you agree with her message but only because she's white (not blonde though) not.

It doesn't upset me, it does add up in my view of America, never encountered it in an interactive form.

Hard to tell if this guy is being ironic or not. Ever heard of affirmative action? there's your structural racism friendo.

Greta hows about you name the 20 companies responsible for a third of all carbon emissions? Oh wait, this is the age of the neo-liberal, where companies are never at fault. It's just "you old people" or "you white people". Cancer

To add: RT uncovered that the million dollar yacht she's sailing on used to be owned by the Rothschilds.

I hate how this liar is pushed down our throats, didn't know what Antifa was by the way when a picture came out of her wearing a Antifa shirt and she claimed someone just gave it to her, then later a pic was released showing her and both her parents wearing the shirt proving she is completely full of shit, also says she can see carbon dioxide with the naked eye yet leftists push her like she is some kind of prophet telling us all the hard truths

Histrionic personality disorder typically begins in early adulthood.

Greta should see a Doctor.

Nobody should be listening to this nutjob.

Great meme!

[–]lil_peter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Grete is cool with me. Meme about how she hates elites flying planes and thier 2000 dollar a/c bills on the huge houses. Then we are talking obama change. (also good meme here I guess it fits in my category on the negative filmn side)

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You mean how Obama bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital and then gunned down the fleeing nurses and patients? That kind of change?

Lets meme about how Greta travelled to america in a speed boat built by carbon fiber composites that are primarily made from propane and petroleum. Gotta love 19th-century solutions that cannot meet 21st-century travel needs.

Mah she is a little girl, did it for exposure and backfired bc whoever is using her is tarded.

[–]Jesus-Christ 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Lol and I guess this is why they're using a 16 year old girl then, so people like you can justify the hypocrisy with "She's just a kid."

[–]lil_peter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

We could do better though, but the population is so high it barely does anything since it grows. Sure I can go near zero but they build more houses, more electric than I can ever save will be spend. Rich people? Huge houses, they use 6 times the electricity we do, then they have boats, using 600 gallons of fuel for an everyday boatride. Then you have planes. Then you have people such as ourselves. Fuck that, lower the population so I can have more without scrifices, we have bilions of people, we should be millions and living like gods.
