@Oldie – What a great response and it is wonderful to see you are a Greta fan. Actually my comment was not directed at you or older (wiser) people like you. It was directed at the older, not necessarily men, but mainly men who despise Greta and Jacinda because they cannot handle younger women making a mark on this world. And yes, the men I am referring to are in the main Trump supporters because he too is a misogynist, amongst other things.

I have to make a correction to my comment above. I referred to a totally forgettable one-cell amoeba who mocked Jacinda because, according to him, she had funny teeth. I was wrong and I did wrong by one-cell amoebas. I should have referred to him as a one-cell anaerobic life form, yet to be identified, who resides in a toxic morass of a swamp.

Anyway, thank you again for your great response. I hope you are keeping safe and well.

oh dear…I’m an “older white”, and to make it worse I’m also a male – which I know is offensive to the Woke – an old pale stale male. And as such we know nothing, we are all rapist capitalist pigs that own a house, vote Trump, love coal, and drive a fossil car. Yep that’s me, apparently according to you.
But never mind that, I’m not offended, because I actually love Greta and the way she stirs it up. She is absolutely onto it, we are truely farked as a species and she is making many uncomfortable. I think the best we can do really is just delay the inevitable collapse of our biosphere, eco-systems, our oceans and planet! There are simply too many of us buying and consuming crap that we don’t need beyond the capacity of the planet to supply. I feel very sad for our grandkids and beyond.

I mean if we can scramble an egg, it must be just as easy to unscramble one!

LOL

No conundrum at all. It is party mode for the next nine years till 99.99% of us slide into oblivion.

But just think, somewhere in a Brazilian or Borneo rainforest a tribe of hunter gatherers move to higher ground and start anew human dynasty. In 50,000 years they will have cracked the Atom as well.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Maybe we should move to Fiordland and be one of the .01% survivors to start the new dynasty?

PS Greta has started a new meme. Blah. Blah, Blah.

Next time someone prattles on we simply go Blah, Blah, Blah.

You can always move to Australia Andrew nothing is holding you back.

You can always move to Australia Andrew, nothing is holding you back.

youngsuffrajet, an excellent reminder to always address the issue, not the person.

If they mock Jacinda, as a totally forgettable one-cell amoeba did once on TDB saying she was weird because she had funny teeth (like, really), then by default they must support Greta and therefore support her rage about climate change.

If they mock Greta , who they openly despise, calling her all sorts of names including being a nutcase – I’m not sure what factual basis they rely on to label her with names like this – simply because she like many qualified scientists have also identified and which satellite imaging has confirmed, climate change does exist, then they must support Jacinda who they despise simply because she is a young woman who is doing a great job running New Zealand.

What a conundrum these people face.
