Greta complains about carbon dioxide yet she is a carbon-based life form. Checkmate libs :smuggo:

It's just the absolutely dumbest most middle school smartass contrarian oppositional defiant disorder.

If the cops had drowned as a result of trying to rescue the suicidal person, would the suicidal person have been charged for a crime?

God I would hate it to go from being suicidal to going to jail. That's not better!

People hate Greta because they think the Deep State is using her as a puppet to serve their agenda. In their world teenagers have no agency and are only able to parrot whatever leftist gibberish their groomer teachers tell them.

One of my favorite bits of swastika trivia is that a U.S. Army infantry division from Oklahoma used it as their shoulder insignia because of its connection to local Native American tribes until 1939, when it was replaced with a Kiowa-designed Thunderbird. Then there's the city of Swastika, Ontario, who rejected changing their name for Office Space reasons: "Why should we change our name, it's Hitler who sucks!"

Still haven't! Of course, since the mine's long since played out and it's only got like 500 people in the town, nobody cares, anyway.

The mine got its name changed to Crescent Mine, though.

It's a fairly simple shape, it's 6 straight lines. It's an easy pattern to come up with without having seen it, just gently caress up drawing the cool S and you have a swastika. It's not surprising that it proliferated so much before it fell out of fashion.

It's like the spectrum of no - as you go from Europe to Asia they use the same sounds roughly for no/negative reactions and it's almost on a scale from west to east with west being a sound that starts with an "N" and the east having a variant on the "e" sound. - No (English), Non (French), Nein (German), Ei (finnish), Ie (Japanese) -a lot of languages use a word that either begins with n or has the i and e vowels somewhere in it, or both, Russian has "Niet", Polish has "nie" and they all fall under the English corruption of the sound "Nah". The e sound even gets used in English slang - how many times have you expressed a negative opinion with the hedged sound "eeeehh".


Obv a lot of languages don't do this Indonesian has "tidak", Arabic has "La", but it's interesting how many languages do.

The languages you named that do are indo-european, and the ones you named that don't are not.

Doesn't matter. If they can "prove" anything bad about Gretta, like that she used a carbon the other day or owns an octopus plushy, it shows that all climate activists or all people who care about the climate in general are hypocritical/bad/wrong. Even if she lived in a "perfect" manner, it wouldn't be enough, since they can simply lie about her.

She literally travelled to the UN Climate Summit (where she delivered the "how dare you" line that immediately made her Boomer Enemy #1) by sailing boat, with electricity generated by solar panels to circumvent the 'Global Elites travelling to international conferences by jet to preach to us about greenhouse gases' line...and instead it was all "Greta's boat was made of fibreglass which needs oil to produce it. Checkmate greenailures :smuggo:"

She's one of those figures whose ideological enemies think and care about her far more than she does them, or even her supporters.

Go find any YouTube video of an old muscle car, a steam locomotive or a farm tractor firing up on a winter's day and making exhaust smoke and there's an 80% chance there'll be a comment along the lines of "Ooo, better make sure Greta doesn't see this [crying laughter emoji]".

As if Greta Thunberg gives the tiniest poo poo about some guy in Nebraska with a 40-year old John Deere. Her whole point is that it's governments and big business who are actually responsible for environmental damage and are the ones with the ability to do something about it. That's why she addressed the UN summit.

But the chuds really, really love having an enemy figure they can pretend is on their backs all the time and imagine her scowling face every time they set their a/c low or get out the gas-powered weed wacker.

'Halo' spotted around the Moon across England https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-67535849

There was a moon halo visible across most of the UK due to clear skies and freezing weather. It’s a pretty common thing during winter if you go out and look at the sky, which apparently lots of people have never done.

My facebook feed is full of idiots going “oh my god what is this? See what the chemtrails have done!”

Oh there's a name for that? I saw it but wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence with the clouds. I'd already experienced a line of clouds going right across the moon earlier.

Also how pathetic that they make the enemy on their backs be a little girl? This is their existential threat? Some foreign teenager? I guess they do this to find someone to feel superior to. Because they can convince themselves that for all her influence and fans THEY still have more "common sense" and aren't crying to the globalists like an entitled teenager.

That's why she has to be a deep state plant, otherwise it doesn't make sense to them. She's not just some little girl, she's backed by a shadowy canal of vested interests. Who they? Unknown, what do they want? Also unknown. But they hate America is all you need to know.

Why does everybody from Hollywood to the HR department at work to my ungrateful kids all say the exact same things about how racism is bad and trans people deserve rights? There's no way everybody believes that stuff naturally, it has to be the work of pervasive indoctrination by some ominous all-powerful force threaded invisibly throughout our entire society!!
