Democrats Follow Crazy 15 Year Old

[saxitoxin]

Democrat Party partisans have rallied behind their new leader-of-the-moment, a diagnostically insane 15 year-old Swedish girl named Greta Thunberg.

Later she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder and selective mutism.

I can hardly wait until the inevitable public meltdown when everyone dumps her like yesterday's bad habit. After the Get Kony guy and all the other lunatics they choose to Pied Piper behind, you'd think they'd learn.

If people forget the Get Kony guy, that was a three-week period when Democrats chose Jason Russell as their leader-of-the-hour, then he had a very public meltdown and was hauled-off to a "hospital."

[saxitoxin]

YIKES! This chick is Grade A nuts. Look at her wild eyes, darting glances, breathlessness, hyper drama. So much for Swedish medical care.

[saxitoxin]

She'll grow up to be the Hillary Clinton of the EU!

some foreign teenager , said something

[saxitoxin]

Andrew Bolt of Australia's SkyNews says Thurnberg is clearly emotionally disturbed and her parents are child abusers for parading their mentally ill daughter - who is clearly undergoing a schizophrenic break - on the world stage as a prop

It's weird how her message is basically 'let's not destroy the ecosystem that our lives depend on' and that message is somehow complete anathema to a lot of Americans.

You could stand up and say 'treat others as you wish to be treated' and Americans would somehow manage to turn it into a Democrats vs Republicans argument.

Not weird. Effective messages need effective messengers. An awkward looking mentally ill girl who speaks like a lunatic street preacher seeing visions and keeps getting caught stuffing her face with food packaged in disposable plastics while screaming that we need to stop using disposable plastics is probably not the most effective messenger except for morons and Demokrats.

[mrswdk]

She has turned into the epitome of the shrill and unhinged activist, but then again it's not like the Americans who hate her listen when the message is conveyed calmly and rationally either.

lol i swear i recently read in GC a democrat saying "Republican's mom's are sluts"... and the republicans started replying "Nuh-uh, Democrat's moms are sluts!!"


ok, that might have been me, both..

It's funny. They attack her looks, they attack her age, they attack her mental health history. Anything to avoid facing the actual message.

By "Americans" I assume you mean "French."

What's her message? "Oi! You lot over there! Clean up your shit so I can continue taking a dump on the planet!"

She has a PR agency working on her image and still easily gets photographed eating from half-a-dozen different disposable plastic cartons. What happens behind the cameras can only be even more eco destructive.

I have no idea what she eats or what it's contained in. I have no idea if the containers you allege actually contained food or if they were someone else's or if they just happened to be the only thing available that day. These are all possibilities, but they're all irrelevant. All this shit about food containers and plastic straws is water under the bridge. The environment has three overwhelming enemies:

1. The automobile.
2. Population growth and urban sprawl.
3. The farming of bovines.

The corresponding things that need to be done, in declining order of importance, are:

1. Get people out of their fucking cars and onto public transit, or better yet stay the f*ck home and telecommute. Or walk, or bike, or ride a donkey.
2. Get people to stop breeding like fucking rabbits, or at the very least pack their progeny into high-rise apartments and not onto sprawling country lots.
3. Get people to eat less beef and less cow milk. Switch to more efficient meat sources like rabbits and goats, or go vegetarian.

The automobile is a double-whammy. Not only does it spew its filth into the atmosphere, but it requires the paving over of vast quantities of land for roads. 65,000 square miles of the U.S. are covered in asphalt.

I don't know how much the kid eats. I hear its not much. But the important thing is not what it's contained in, but that some fatass didn't drive an Escalade down to the Jack-in-the-Box and sit in the drive-through spewing out fumes waiting for his order.

I have no idea , I have no idea, shit, The environment has enemies: The urban bovines, fucking, f*ck, ride a donkey, fucking rabbits, eat cow milk, I don't know, fatass

Duk.. being Triggered..

These are all solutions proposed by the mega-rich you hate so much (every headlining billionaire in the world today is calling for fighting climate change and calling for doing it through these methods). They're solutions (doubling the gas price) that will never impact the lifestyle of the mega-rich but will limit the freedom and mobility of the working class.

But the mega-rich already know you don't listen to them. You've made that clear. So they (in this case Ingmar Rentzhog of Carnegie Investment Bank) used their wealth to hire a PR agency which plucked Greta Thunberg from her publicity whore Eurovision contestant mother and inputted their message into her crippled brain which she then recited back at you. It's the same message they have for you, it's just being fed to you in a form you find more appealing and less offensive.

Glad to see another sign up to the cause. Say NO to beef and milk.

I am currently having a bowl of cornflakes with soy milk and it is very delicious.

[mrswdk]

They're solutions (doubling the gas price)

Getting people to use public transport instead of cars (and therefore consume less gas) would cause gas prices to go up?

[2dimes]

Absolutely. The tax portion of the price will never go down so it would need to be increased since less volume was being sold.

$5 tax collected from selling 10 litres of fuel is 50 cents per litre.
$5 tax collected when only 5 litres of fuel is sold would be $1 per lire.

Over simplification for purpose of example. Obviously the numbers are much larger but that is why petrol is often much cheaper in the US&A than Canada. Until accounting for the exchange rate at least.

[mrswdk]

$5 tax collected from selling 10 litres of fuel is 50 cents per litre.
$5 tax collected when only 5 litres of fuel is sold would be $1 per lire.

Why does the government need to always collect $5 of tax per year from gas?

[2dimes]

They don't but... Because they are used to getting that money. Now they need it to pay themselves. Truth is they need only a portion to build roads and bridges probably lees than half of that $5.

It is exactly like everyone thinks they need a computer and a mobile phone. You don't, you need a dry hut or cave, rice, clean water and veggies.

If tomorrow someone figured out an affordable personal vehicle that could run on solar they would suddenly need to figure out how to collect the money they currently get from fuel taxes.

Also as much as I would like to drive one, shutting down the fossil fuel industry would cause an economic catastrophe. The resulting upheaval would certainly be more likely to wipe us out than most of North America flooding again.


It's kind of nice to play on a smart phone while riding in an airplane though.

[mrswdk]

American fuel tax revenues aren't ring-fenced for building roads and bridges. They're just chucked into the overall public budget, at which point the dollars raised from fuel tax become the same as the dollars raised from income tax, sales tax or any other tax. They could be spent on roads, they could be spent on food stamps, they could be spent on invading the Middle East, etc.
