Right Wing Media claims climate activist child abuse victim

[Hanafuridake]

Should we take the evidence for climate change seriously and begin making real changes so that our children will have a future?

No, let's gaslight a sixteen year old who's actually trying to make a difference because she has autism. That'll show those polar bears.

Honestly, it is Child Abuse. You don't send children out to fight wars adults should be fighting.

Believe or not, but Greta should not be part of this for another two years.

Well, let's see where that's gotten us..nowhere now, huh? We don't really have alot of time when it comes to climate change.

[Kowani]

Yes. This is an effective strategy. I see no ways in which this could backfire.

Ah, shit, climate change doesn’t care about your opinions because it’s happening regardless. Great job, right wing media.

[Torrocca]

Ah, gotta love that spineless """morality""". You know your ideology's depraved as hell when you've gotten to the point where you're gaslighting and publicly harassing a child for the most heinous crime of wanting to protect our one and only planet from environmental collapse. At least equally depraved - if not moreso - is how some of these fuckers have had the gall to insinuate that raping a child is morally equivalent to a child speaking out about climate change.

Oh, I thought this was gonna be about the guy who said that if she's old enough to speak publicly then she's old enough to work for Epstein.

Well, a lot of these people did vote for Roy Moore.

You had me at the Daily Wire, OP. Always up for dunking on Ben Shapiro's play pen for steaming hot takes.

This is child abuse. If any grown up in Thunberg’s life really cared about her psychological and emotional well-being, they would sit her down and explain that climate change is not going to destroy human civilization. Yes, the climate is changing. Climates tend to do that. But whatever role humans play in that process, and to whatever degree, it is not going to result in the end of all life as we know it. Talk of a 10-year, or 12-year, or 20-year, timeline before planetary catastrophe is all an invention of politicians and media personalities. Scientists don’t speak this way.

This is the most telling part, really. The part that reveals the true intent of all the concern trolling in the preceding paragraphs. The author is trying to pathologize Thunberg's political opinions in order to provide some pretty shoddy cover for The Daily Wire's trademark climate change denialism.

Matt Walsh is going out of his way to use Thunberg's Aspergers as an instrument for his malicious backhanded pity. His accusations of abuse are just part of an overarching narrative where he unilaterally diagnoses Thunberg as lacking in any sort of agency or rationality. He's too much of a pretentious boomer to do it, but he's clearly itching to treat her as being mentally disabled.

How dare children not want to die.

[Major-Tom]

We all knew these pundit ghouls and useless fuckers on Twitter would tear into Thunberg in a disgusting fashion, it was just a matter of time. The thought that a sixteen year old can make a substantial difference in the way we perceive climate change terrifies them.

Really, it's their fault for not just shutting up and letting the adults discuss actual issues, like how we can fuck over the poor even more!

Silly kids.

She started this all on her own volition. Give her credit, it started from a one-person school strike to an international movement. We oughta give her props.

[Costa Fierro]

As offensive as it is, at least they're identifying themselves as future concentration camp detainees.

Just for clarity, do you think that any and every minor who gets involved in any form of activism is abused? Or just the neurodivergent ones?

Those pieces of worthless human shit..

Eh, I utilize hyperbole a ton, I like calling people "ghouls" and "moronic" a lot, but that just sounds harsh.

I mean, there's a few names of pundits I have in mind for people who may well be worthless pieces of crap, but I ain't gonna say all that.

So Greta is a nazi like D'Souza said!

I can’t see how you made a thread to call out biased media resorting to dumb insults and fallacies, and then thought “Hmmm, let’s call my opponents worthless human shit!”

Ah, right. It’s because the people you don’t like did it...

No, but you see, she's got Aspergers, so (in the minds of right-wingers) that means she's mentally feeble and easily manipulated or something!

Although the same right-wingers also seem to think she deserves to be physically abused, so... I dunno.

Climate change denial along with blatant ableism is the best recipe for conservative wingnuttery.

I don’t see the projection in opposing calling people worthless human shit

Just the ones who get thrust into the public spotlight of a controversial issue to be bullied by the mob.

She's a minor. Her job isn't to go do activism and she honestly hasn't contributed anything new to the debate. Just the same old arguments we already knew.

So now what, she's said words which convince noone but the already convinced and her childhood is basically over because she'll be catching flak from wackadoodles from now on.

How was allowing her to do this NOT a gross negligence of their duty to protect her?

Freaks.

Whoever in fuck suggested such a thing should go spank himself/herself, just to see how it feels. Not to mention that spanking has been banned in Sweden since the 1970s, and even if rightwingers wanted, they couldn't bring it back under any circumstances.

No it's because this is an attack on any Autistic OCD activists, climate or otherwise.
I have autism, probably have OCD(Either way they mainly focused on the autism), it sickens me and is personal.

The morons who say “She’s wrong and can’t be right because she’s autistic!!1”? Sure, might be. I’m sure the majority of the people on twitter calling her out aren’t doing so for her syndrome though, but rather her beliefs that she was very vocal about...
