I find using kids for political reasons to be problematic.
I find using emotions instead of facts to sway the political discourse to be problematic.
There are legitimate reasons to be concerned or even angry at this. Maybe not good enough reasons to create an account on Twitter and scream into the void, though.
Somewhat, yeah. You're overwhelmingly a product of your parents opinions and you're largely doing what they tell you to do or allow you to do. Because of this, it just comes across as shallow. Greta complained about how she should be at school and was blaming the politicians. In reality it's her parents' fault she's not in school.
Sorry mate but that point about complaints is completely wrong.
A demonstration, whatever the type, is exactly that by definition. People interrupting their jobs because officials are not doing theirs well enough.
Ugh, you're right, compassion gets the better of me yet again. To be honest, her brave stance has really made me feel so lucky for the way I was able to live my 16th year. Hard manual labor for low pay during the summers, social anxiety about my social status and the mind-numbing tedium of school were the absolute best. I can't imagine where she finds the strength to give all of that up.
The amount of defeatism, unfounded scepticism, denial, and just pure and nasty ad hominem attacks is sickening.
The one potentially positive thing to note may be that denial and anger often come before acceptance. Eventually.
