You've found a way of pulling images from Trumps dreams?Big crowds are easy...the human ape seems to have a fondness for following. Almost sheeplike.

Wow, that photo is chilling. Is that at Nurenberg?
Joe,
Greta is no Hilter, if that was your point. She’s passionate about *saving* life on the planet — all life.

I thought that I was plain enough in what I posted ?
I was commenting upon the human propensity to be a follower.... almost a primal desire for it. It leads us to sports fans, pop music fans. religions and any and all 'causes' . We seem to have a huge desire to 'belong'

We are all guilty
Marky,
I’ve been banging on about loss of biodiversity and the perils of climate change for ten thousand years before you joined the forum, mostly to deaf ears, contrarians and jive turkeys like Paul R.
Greta has done more to raise awareness about these issues and to inspire change than I could have ever hoped for.
Hats off to her. She really doesn’t want anything out of all this celebrity other than a habitable planet.
Joe
Only time will tell what 'willingness' brings by way of acceptance of lifestyle changes.we are definitely not all guilty -- certainly not equally guilty. more importantly, there are very big differences in a willingness to do something and accept a change in lifestyle.
Respect to the highly-paid, middle-aged, white journalist for bravely speaking out against a 16 year-old girl.@Joe P
it seems australia has been experimenting with jive turkey breeding and it's clearly gone out of control (warning -- tv smashing impulses ahead):
as everyone knows, i'm a pretty radical pacifist, but if someone could come up with a bomb to obliterate every household with the TV turned into sky/fox/murdoch news, i would celebrate the achievement. more realistically, i'd love to make a film in which some kind of revolution segregates all libertarians/righties on their own continent or planet and we watch what happens. yeah, i know, i know, i'm not supposed to like horror movies either, but this would be done in the manner of eric rohmer.
note: i accidentally clicked on a link to the above after watching posting the video on previous page.
Rohmer would bore him to death. I've watched Le Rayon Vert. That's 2 hours of my life I'll not have again. Nor would I wish to if that's what I'd have to do with them.
I think it's a good deal due to having reached a measure of critical mass with young people, and she's as a good a figurehead as any. Maybe better than most, since attacking a 16 year old young woman looks exceptionally bad.
I've lived about 8/10ths of my life, and if I get another 10 years that's great. And so I'm unlikely to see the worst of this. I can't imagine being 16 and knowledgable about this collapse. I'd probably feel like I'd been cheated. I find it interesting there's not more anger.
I still feel like I did in an earlier post, and that's sad when I watch all these young people assemble and plead with the adults for something positive that I don't believe is going to happen barring a miracle. Germany tossed them a bone, and most climate activists, from I've read, think it fell way, way short.
