What’s your opinion on her stance as an “activist”?
I see people are mostly divided on her across social media, some are calling her a saviour whereas others are saying she’s basically an attention seeker or being used to push an agenda. I wondered what you guys thought of the work she’s been doing lately. She’s definitely made a huge impact! Personal attacks on her (as seen across various media platforms recently) are not welcome! I’m talking about her current stance and buzz as an activist. Let’s keep this nice and mature. Thanks guys. Last edited by LaLaLand; 25-09-2019 at 07:09 AM. |

One of my only strong political convictions is protecting the environment and keeping our green spaces, and my fellow travellers on that issue are mostly "exceptional individuals" who block roads and planes, and give me collective embarrassment. So to see someone who's actually addressing the issues in a serious and constructive way is great. I don't really understand how she gets some people riled up. |

i think the fact that so many people have resorted to bullying tactics toward her means that she has been effective in what she set out to achieve. If her message were not getting across, people would just ignore her.
If someone has a valid point to make, it doesn't matter what age they are, what background they come from. You always know when people resort to personal attacks, they have lost the argument |

Currently suffering from child abuse at the hands of her parents. Maybe not physically, but she's most certainly being used.

You can't just call people bullies because they disagree with somebody politically. But it does prove my point that she's being used, used to push other people's message, with the get out clause that any criticism can be brushed away by turning it on the critic, using the child excuse. Dirty, dirty tactics. |

...(..so sorry...)...I’m really not entirely comfortable with this, with so much online bullying and how it impacts on people...she’s a child...opinions on her thoughts and words as an activist is one thing...but personal opinions about a child...?...

I spent most of yesterday on this forum talking about the topic. Go into the thread and debate me on it if you want.

i read what you had to say. How about you provide some scientific verified facts that disprove her arguments rather than try and personally attack her.

And I'm not attacking her, I'm the only one in this thread who seems concerned about her, I'm the one who's trying to bring to light that she's being used and abused by all this.

Surely that's what she's doing.though? Not biting her tongue.you can see she genuinely believes what she is saying. I think she's pretty inspiring for the younger generation, her biggest critics seemed to be older climate change cynics.
Anything that creates positive change in the environment can surely only be a good thing.

Hope that clarifies. Let’s leave anything personal towards her out of this please guys and just stick to your thoughts on “HER IMPACT”! Last edited by LaLaLand; 25-09-2019 at 07:00 AM. |

It's child abuse plain and simple. And if you're gonna go around calling people bullies for be critical, then I'm gonna call you child abuse supporters.

I know most people don't like him and it might be controversial but I completely agree with what Piers Morgan wrote yesterday:

that may well all be true MTVN, but don't you see it for what it is, a method of completely undermining her.
So, she doesn't have the answers to correct the worlds ills, are we really saying that negates her point? If she is concerned about the environment and it is backed up by scientific research, what possible relation is there to her mother appearing in eurovision and her father being an actor. She has become a focal point. What it should do is concentrate minds on the issue, not on how many people she talked to at school etc etc etc etc |

"Greta first got worried at 8 years old" I wonder if her political activist parents played any part in that? At 8 years old, my parents bought me He-man action figures to play with.
