One of a group of paintings by Frederick McCubbin titled 'The Pioneer' a series with a tragic ending.
McCubbin was a member of an Australian post impressionist collective ( some would argue with the description) known for their al fresco work.

Greta should have sent the attendants of the confference one of her angry letters, or better still should have petrified them with one of her angry speeches. Where is she when one needs her?

She is now saying uncooperative leaders will be put "up against the wall".

That's something you would expect the person of the year to say.

The bullet's friction with the air generates heat. Is she willing to add to the global heating? The noose is more environmentally friendly. Ask the people in teh picture.

Mass starvation is the most eco-friendly way of exterminating political enemies.  It also has the benefit of resulting in copious quantities of organic fertilizer at the end of the process.  Really, it's the way to go.

Greta simply misspoke.  English isn't her native tongue.  The unfortunate phrase she used does not have the same connotation in Swedish.   Morally righteous, very highly intelligent adults are right to look to her for leadership in this crucial time.

This would be called "Greta Derangement Syndrome" if she were a right-wing figure

also: I assume without checking that the people with nooses are standing on blocks of ice...?

It's more amusing than anything: mush-brained lefties looking to a disabled teenage girl for inspiration and leadership and then vigorously defending their poor choice.  You can't make this stuff up. 

[SimonNZ]

Nevertheless you are making it up.

She's a source of inspiration to other teenagers. Us adult mush-brained lefties wouldn't feel the need to have much of an opinion about her if the right weren't freaking so far out about her (read: triggered).

And, once again, I wish you'd put political stuff in the political threads - but me saying that just makes you want to troll all the harder, doesn't it?

[Todd]

Making what up?

So?

If you have something intelligent to say about global warming and the associated science, do so but please refrain from mush-brained ideology.

Off topic . but in what sense is autism a disability?
