    I'm not personally affected (in another life). I have no problem with the message, just can't stand the posh/middle-class hypocrites playing hero and saviour whilst having a big fucking rich-hippy-cultish party.

    They're fake PC do-gooders who pick safe targets. There's more people of colour at a Tommy Robinson shindig.
    I can get behind wanting to clean the world up a bit and preserve and conserve nature, wildlife etc, but I don't get the more extreme elements of these groups banning fossil fuels, banning air travel, banning meat consumption it all gets a bit ridiculous.


    And yes they DO pick the safest of targets....never India or China in regards to their polluting. Always in public where people still for some reason treat these obnoxious assholes with dignity and respect and don't just offer up violence to them straight away...not suggesting they should, but the protesters are really pushing their limits with this kind of thing. I mean blocking entire streets is not a great thing to do....what if someone is in a medical emergency? What if there's a terrorist attack and the roads are blocked and police cannot get to the scene immediately?


    It's SO privileged to do these kinds of things and they never call out their millionaire funders either.

    That's the crux of the argument no? Whats the point in you and I being decent and responsible whilst commercial juggernauts bellow smoke into the air and flatten the rain forests?

    I'm not certain what the crux of THEIR argument is. My argument certainly is equal parts "Well if you want a cleaner world talk to China first I'm well down your list" and "practice what you preach". Their list of things they want to accomplish is foolish and make me question their sanity.

    Civil peaceful protest is a good thing.

    They can not do much about China/India but can put banners up on Big Ben to remind people we are all part of the "churn" or "system" polluting the environment.

    The vast majority have been peaceful protests so let them continue.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Nobody is saying they shouldn't be allowed to protest, I AM saying I don't think how they are choosing to protest is going to win over many converts to their side.


    So Greta Thunberg can ride across the Atlantic to go in front of the UN and lecture the West on their pollution and whatnot....but can't say peep about China. OK then...kind of paints a certain picture of just how virtuous she is doesn't it? As for the average protesters, I don't think annoying the crap out of your fellow countrymen is going to get many people thinking "Yeah this is good, I quite like this, let's all do this then"....and if you ask me "Well what should they do to get the message out?!?!?"
    1. Practice what they preach
    2. Organize clean ups for various polluted areas
    3. Don't shit where you eat and attempt to browbeat your friends and neighbors into joining your cause...if they find your cause worthy they'll join on their own.


    Hey if you're ok with them in your town that's fine, but I'm certain there are folks this is more than a little aggravating to...like if one of those folks was trying to get to work on time and ended up getting fired for being late or if someone needed to rush to the hospital or something of that sort.

    Yes of course it was personal. You don't really think El Kabong never stoops that low? Aspergers is not an affliction. I would not be me without it. I would have failed massively in life WITHOUT it.

    At it again? Greta is a 16 year old marketed girl with severe mental issues. I am quite sure Lyle has actually completed school, self read too, held down a job, and become a loving father. Greta is used like a dead baby on a beach who I also assume you think has achieved more than Lyle by getting into the national propaganda.

    Give it a rest you tiresome man. Greta is not a scientist. She doesn't even have an A level equivalent in Chemistry. She won't even go to school. A poor example to others in many ways and a bad attitude like your own.

    Let it go and take it for the quip it was intended as then. I have never even heard the word Sperg before. It sounds like a German family name or something.

    I am sure you have finely attuned neuron connections and a curious way with words, but one thing Asperger's seems to do is make you very highly strung. Just chill a little, it's no big deal. I can be highly strung too, but am learning just to ride with it. You can easily do the same. You don't need to agree with Lyle on anything, but he is just a person with different views to you.

    We all have our battles and issues Beanz. On the surface we all have our front but we are only human.
