2020 Democrats tout Thunberg UN speech: 'This is why we need young people leading the climate justice movement'
By Zack Budryk - 09/23/19 03:49 PM EDT

A trio of Democratic presidential hopefuls on Monday praised 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly that demanded action on climate change.


Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), one of the top tier candidates for the White House, said that it was a “disgrace” a teenager has to tell world leaders about climate change.

“What a disgrace that it takes a 16-year-old to tell world leaders what they won't acknowledge: We cannot continue with this type of ruthless capitalism that is destroying our planet. This is why we need young people leading our climate justice movement,” Sanders tweeted.

I saw a brief clip and that kid needs to be in an institution.

 I wonder if all the "children" who are clamoring to save the planet are willing to walk to school instead of taking the bus or getting rides from their parents? Are they willing to use bicycles to get there? How many of them are willing to sit in unheated classrooms in winter and over heated classrooms in warmer months? Are they willing to give up their cell phones, tablets, televisions and computer games? If so then kudos to them.

Hopefully not in Sweden.  The social democrats will have her sterilized.

The few pix I've seen of her -- she looks like she's stoned.  Come to think of it, so does David Hogg.  Could it be that the brainwashing also involves medication?

Pure child abuse!

[austingirl]

Greta is eleven years old and has gone two months without eating. Her heart rate and blood pressure show clear signs of starvation. She has stopped speaking to anyone but her parents and younger sister, Beata.
After years of depression, eating disorders, and anxiety attacks, she finally receives a medical diagnosis: Asperger’s syndrome, high-functioning autism, and OCD. She also suffers from selective mutism—which explains why she sometimes can’t speak to anyone outside her closest family. When she wants to tell a climate researcher that she plans a school strike on behalf of the environment, she speaks through her father.

Greta is not alone in her mental suffering, according to the book. Her sister Beata, who was 12 when the book was written, lives with ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome, and OCD. She is prone to sudden outbursts of anger, during which she screams obscenities at her mother.

Posted this in another thread, but worth repeating:

Lenin knew progressive lefties such as Thunberg,
well; referring to them as a "useful idiots."

Actually she's sixteen right now.

It's absolutely disgusting how her parents and the left in this country are using her in this manner and as a shield from any criticism of their green/communist plans for the world and our country.

The mentally ill leading the mentally ill.

I wonder if all the "young people" who are yapping about climate change are willing to walk to school instead of taking the bus or getting rides from their parents? Are they willing to use bicycles to get there? How many of them are willing to sit in unheated classrooms in winter, work in unheated offices and shops and in over heated classrooms, offices and shops in warmer months? Are they willing to give up their cell phones, tablets, televisions and computer games? If so then kudos to them.

@txradioguy

I know she's sixteen now. The quote is from a book about her and reveals her mental illness and that of her entire family.

You say that like it would be a bad thing.

@Applewood

I'm not so sure she is stoned as much as she is being medicated and probably programmed.

Next time you see her on tv,take a close look at her eyes. Her left eye seems to be seeing things her right eye doesn't know anything about,and it scares her.

Chances are she is psycho and programmed.

@txradioguy

I was shocked when I heard that. She looks to be MAYBE 11 years old on camera.   I am NOT trying to score political hit points here,but some authority somewhere needs to put her in a hospital and run tests to see if she has been starved and abused/neglected by her parents.

[Wingnut]

Build the wall.

[austingirl]

@sneakypete

If you read the link on my reply#6 above, you'll see she has a long history of self-starvation and selective mutism among other mental problems. When she was eleven she refused to eat for two months and that damaged her body and mind. Her sister also has problems. And her parents wrote a book about this and how her mental illness and climate change are intertwined. Yep her parents are crazy too.

[240B]

That's what America needs. A couple of teenager idiots dictating world policy.
Let me talk to them when they are 40, have a couple of kids and a mortgage.
Let's see how they feel then?

@austingirl

Since this is on the wrong side of the child abuse border,it would really be interesting to find out who in the Dim Party approved her appearances and is paying her travel and living expenses,wouldn't it?

ESPECIALLY if she went somewhere to give a speech and her handlers were arrested for child abuse by a local sheriff that doesn't give a damn about stepping on toes.

Some of it could be the meds she’s on too. My son was on ADHD meds and some of them really restrict growth and weight gain.  We took him off of them in 7th grade at his request because a) he couldn’t make the 80lb weight limit to play tackle football and b) “I’m tired of people thinking I’m a 4th grader”.

@txradioguy

I am sorry to hear about your son,but in his case he has someone looking out for him that is concerned about his health and future. I am not convinced that is the case with that girl.
