Ummmm – HDPA shitting on a 16 year old ISN’T the problem with the climate strike
I just don’t give a fuck about this bullshit, but someone needs to point it out right?
The issue with the climate strike last week, is NOT that HDPA shit all over a 16 year old who was protesting climate change but then flying to Fiji, nor was the predictable outrage olympics over at The Spin-off that anyone dare highlight the hypocrisy of a 16 year old.
None of that is interesting, nor the issue.
HDPA is a mean, spiteful, malicious broadcaster, so you agree to go on her show, you gets ya licks!
If you are too dumb to know that, don’t be the media spokesperson – it’s not the shitting on a 16 year old who doesn’t have the skill set to articulate a semi-cognitive response that is the issue here, because firstly, demanding 16 year olds have all the answers to a climate changing crisis that we as adults are responsible for is the sort of tedious bullshit HDPA does, no, the issue is how the fuck did a movement that had 170 000 on the streets in 2019, suddenly implode into a protest that barely thousands went to!
THAT IS THE ISSUE, but the middle class woke don’t want you focused on that, they want you focused on how HDPA trashed a 16 year old.
In 2019, the climate strikes brought 170,000 people to the streets.
What did they bring Friday?
Thousands of students take part in school strike for climate: ‘We want a future on the planet’
…and…
Photos: Hundreds turn out for climate strikes across NZ
…hundreds AND thousands.
Not hundreds of thousands.
What the hell happened?
As the planet continues to melt in a heatwave that is crippling economies and triggering unprecedented catastrophic weather events, our climate crisis movement has gone backwards partly because of the trauma of Covid, but also partly because of the vicious idealogical knife fights that are now being waged privately inside the leadership movements of these protests where woke activists are cancelling protest movements for crimes against middle class dogma.
Last year, the School Strike 4 Climate Auckland Organization jaw droopingly cancelled themselves!
I honestly thought this was a parody but apparently it’s true. School Strike 4 Climate Auckland has disbanded because – wait for this – they are a racist organization???
The identity politics cult would eat their own young if they weren’t all vegan.
To disband a youth climate change organization because PoC suffer most from climate change ignores the fact that the planet will burn regardless of your fucking skin colour!!!
To whip themselves into such submission for an intersectionist cacophony of grievances competing for social hierarchy based upon woke dogma that all white people are intrinsically racist as a response to a burning planet is so intellectually bankrupt it’s terrifying.
Pure temple doctrine divides & alienates. Broadchurch universals build solidarity. This is self defeating identity politics madness.
Read it yourself, it’s just so unbelievable…
This level of extraordinary idealogical purity currently gutting protest movements as the Professional Management Class interests merge with middle class identitarians have muted and culled off real popular support for almost all protest.
There is of course a fundamental problem with relying on young people to solve the climate crisis on their own!
If we can’t as adults find ways to change things, how on earth can kids?
Additionally, if we as adults can’t force back woke identitarians from ruining the public debate, how on earth can the kids resist them?
We went from 170 000 on the streets to hundreds and thousands.
It’s reminiscent of the woke coup inside the Pride parade where that went from 30 000 participants to a couple of thousand, and the woke called that a success!
The Right look for recruits, the Left look for traitors and right now for middle class identitarians, everyone less mentally ill than them are privileged and everyone more mentally ill than them is toxic.
I’m not sure that dynamic wins many voters over.
But sure, HDPA humiliating a 16 year old is where the debate need to be.
Meanwhile, the planet fucking melts and catastrophic extreme weather events are destroying the ability for many to survive.

So much to lol at really, it’s what happens when we start letting the school children lead us with all the wisdom of their short years- the original climate numbers were vastly overstated, but were larger because all the kids essentially got a day off school.
We can’t expect wisdom from these kids because they are not smart or world wise and yep mostly a bunch of rich kid hypocrites.
As per Greta Thunburg.
Thank god these spoiled brats can’t vote.
100 percent keep calm
What an idiotic conclusion. Are Trump, Putin, and loads of other adult wankers leading us with their? No, in fact they are the antithesis of wisdom. So this girl is not a media savvy bullshit….that will come with age I guess.
‘theirs’ and ‘artist’!
Bonus points for wheel for somehow making this all about Trump.
Sorry to discredit your idol. Let’s forget him and make it about any other bullshitting adult politician then. Boris and his squillion pounds a week to be part of the EU springs to mind. The list of “world wise” moronic adults is astounding.
You only have to inhabit here Wheels to see that.
This rabel will do me.
It need not be an either or proposition.
Fer goodness sakes–put the slipper into DPA unequivocally and be done with it–she deserves it many times over. Sure, you walk into that filth fest of a show she is on at your peril unless you have some solid comebacks, and a “sod you Yarpie” attitude.
Rebuilding the Climate Strike movement to real effect is not dependent on backing off DPA and her ilk.
Don’t be too tough on Heather, Martyn. You’d be mean, spiteful and malicious as well if you had to shag Barry Soapbox.
100% simonm.
Too many behind the scenes attack shops, including government agencies and Russian/Chinese propaganda, US billionaires, taking over the activist space. The woke seem to lap it up.
Perhaps if you want to stand up and say fuck you boomers then make sure you walk the walk. I see nothing in this young generation that suggests planet saving change. And I see nothing in our current leadership either. I begin to suspect that the only hope for Earth is a nuclear war in Europe followed by the complete destruction of our current economic system.
My favorite part of this part of the drama was the mother of the teen in question asserting that a trip to Fiji did not impact on the climate holiness of her daughter because she ‘took public transport’.
Well no duh lady, she at best has a learner’s license.
I would much rather see HDPA condemn Samuel Julian Uffindell but I doubt she would do that.
And so it shows to us all she is like Uffindell i.e a bully.
Is she somewhat intimidated by a bright and intelligent 16 year old or is she doing a Donald Trump i.e he was nasty and a bully towards Greta Thunberg.
Out of all whatever HDPA says and does she does not merit attention. She is not someone one would want to take home to meet a 16 year old with views and a vision of the future of their very own.
HDPA is another hard right, Hosking prodigy, simple right wing propaganda by HDPA, nothing more, nothing less. Soper and Hosking would be so proud.
Due to covid these young adults have missed so much schooling they know they cannot afford another day off.
HDPA the child bride, how ironic.
Lol–who knows how human pair bonding works…well a number of people do actually. Sometimes it is about immigration or employment status, or cultural arrangements, or property and inheritance, physical attraction, enjoyment, and even romance.
Far be it from me to comment on a mid 30s woman spending personal time with a 70 year old like Mr Soper, but it seems potentially rather quease inducing. But hey, political compatibility is important too.
Yes tiger, it hits 10 out of ten on the yuk factor.
School Exams were on in my district, I don’t know about what was scheduled in your area but i suspect exams would significantly affect the youth turnout.
Good catch, may be in part why
Good comments raised.
I’m with Tane on this one.
I actually think that the lack of turn out to climate marches is to do with something more fundamental that has its roots in Covid and lockdowns etc but includes the general malaise affecting this country because of poor political decision making.
I have a child in this demographic. Pre Covid, always out, not particularly political but has friends that are. Post Covid, lies in bed all day, not very motivated to go out, does minimal work at school, just enough but does go to school but asks at least once a week, do I have to go, no-one else is going.
Its like the disruption to life sucked out their motivation and sense of self. They live on tik tok and watch Netflix, sleep the day away. None of them are political now, just kind of a lost generation, interested in nothing, fairly transactional in their relationships. Its like there is no longer any vision before them. So different to our generation when by 16 you were chomping at the bit to leave school and move on with a million new adventures.
Parents too I think are just too busy now to do much about it and not really too sure about how to raise their kids anyway. Everyone is woke and what you thought was normal has become irrelevant. Collectively its as if nobody is entirely sure of what they should be doing. And I think this new normal has impacted teens and late teens the most.
Fantail
Thanks for the peep into how things are. Reading it makes it more important to keep on trying to retain the sense of values and life we should have despite the malaise of people in power who are more posers than politicians, and have chosen to make this country impotent and dependent on the system for everything, while at the same time publicly abhorring dependency. When such forked tongue communication is paramount who can find direction
in life; just people going through some agreed motions? On with the dance. Cabaret song Money comes to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIAXG_QcQNU
Perhaps the young will find in music and the arts a new truth they can hold to.
Yep a good lesson for that young wannabe climate activist, that when you point your finger accusing someone or something for being a c**t, there is always three of the bastards ( fingers) pointing back at you!
Weliington elite clutching pearls.” How dare they!”
If you’re going to run with the hounds, you can’t piss like a puppy.
The gap between rhetoric and action among affluent kids is nothing new.

Ok zoomer!
Quite funny
Your the one that needs to grow up Trev gets some balls mate the 16 year of has more balls than the likes of you and she ain’t a man she a young woman
Who the f**k is HDPA? (I do know BUT dont give a f**k).
Now to the girl…our own little Greta poor thing. Such an avatar of PMC hair pulling at climate change with a policy of electric cars, despite the fact that mining lithium needs oil, creates an environmental nightmare, but hey its in Chile or some other wog place. And yes where is the electricity coming from and what will happen to grannies heating bill if the cars need fuel? Then there’s Manu down at the council tip, paying his taxes toward tax breaks on EVs he will never afford.
I wont bore you further, but there’s a lot of sh*t incumbent in our climate change policies and we shouldn’t be leaving it to an earnest young girl to get pilloried by an idiot. HDPA got her pay packet, we paid, idiot us.
