An Open Letter to Greta Thunberg. You are not a moral leader. But I will tell you what you are.
Frontpage Magazine ^ | November 11, 2019 | Jason D. Hill

...

The truth, as one anonymous blogger aptly put it, is that your generation is unable to work up to forty hours per week without being chronically depressed and anxious. Its members cannot even decide if they want to be a boy or a girl, or both, or neither, or a “they.” They cannot eat meat without crying. I might add that your generation needs “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces” as pre-conditions for learning in school. Its members have a pathological need to be coddled and protected from the challenging realities of life. Your generation is the biggest demander and consumer of carbon spewing technological gadgets and devices. An hour without any of them and too many of you succumb to paralyzing lethargy. Your generation is the least curious and most insular set of individuals one has ever encountered. Your hubris extends so far that you think you have nothing to learn from your elders.

Yes, we have betrayed you: by capitulating the world of leadership to bored, attention-deficit children who spout bromides, platitudes and slogans that a rudderless and morally relativistic culture accepts because a significant number of its denizens have become intellectually bankrupt and morally lazy.

The logical endpoint of your ecological vision would see us living in primeval conditions eking out an existence in jungle swamps in which we would regard poisonous snakes and man-eating tigers as our moral equals. We would have to adapt ourselves to nature rather than adapt nature to meet our needs, like all members of civilized civilizations do. Your vision would see us foraging for mushrooms and plants without knowing which were inimical to our digestive systems. Under your system we would swelter from heat, die from rampant plagues and starvation because there will be no air-conditioning units

In those days, adult responsibilities for most came at an earlier age.

REALLY?

NO one has those anymore!

This should be required university reading. (I would love to see a classroom full of college sociology students faces as they read it.)

There are actually studies supporting all of this about the younger generations.

The young people didn’t make themselves. There are cynical, manipulative adults making them so dysfunctional. It’s the words of that horrible song come true. “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.”
Just paraphrase it a little, and you get its sinister meaning: The children are not their future, but ours. They will actualize our lunatic agenda, so long as you “teach them well,” i.e., indoctrinate them, and then let them lead the way. They would as soon nationalize healthcare and outlaw fossil fuels as turn on Netflix. No need to worry, so long as you program them to think your thoughts.

She’s still a child, though. And a highly exploited one.

Her childhood is being stolen from her by those who are her handlers. She’s the victim of godless fearmongering.

How many 17 year olds know everything?

If you ask any 17 year old, every last one of them knows everything. Of course, the best of them get amnesia a year or two later and learn the way the world is.

Unfortunately, Greta the Good will not be in that group.

#2. Greta. “ How dare you”, you ask. Well, I’ll tell you. Because I’m sane, in control of my mind, educated, a hard worker, and a patriotic America.

You are nothing but a little mental case, used by parents who should be in jail, living in a socialist country that is essentially useless in this world, caving in to Islamic expansionists and their anti-Semitic, anti-western, anti-Christian madness, and creating a carbon footprint that should be eliminated. Therefore, my advise to you, since you are afraid the world will end in 11 years, is to kill yourself now and save yourself 11 years of anguish, suffering, fake-posturing and eating food needy, deserving people should have because they will around after 11 years (and you won’t).

Speed up your self-elimination process and reduce your carbon-footprints and farts. They world will then be a better place without you.

Bye, Bye, Greta. Hansel’s not coming with you!

She’s just a marionette as is AOC, her puppetmasters pull their strings... tell them what to say and do! Democrats and the lapdog media lap it up (they all have the same “owners”). When their lies don’t work, they LIE harder... when their panic don’t work they PANIC harder!!!

IMHO both will be discarded when no more use to their “owners.”

Socialism is just a form of feudalism... masters and serfs!
