Comments by "Robert Turner" (@turnerfamilyinozi) on "'Poor old Greta's now history': Thunberg overshadowed by rising star Xiye Bastida" video.

@laurieparks7643 Hang on they were calling her communist and you think she is a Nazi. You guys need to get together so you can put together a coherent strategy to protect the profits of the fossil fuel companies. Another right winger against the freedom of speech. If you don't have freedom of speech you don't have a democracy. Is Russia or China the models you are working towards?

@lalainerecasata7495 Yeh, I know it is total selfish to try and protect the planet from climate change! Just because the right wing media, through Murdoch and the fossil fuel companies have conned you, doesn't mean that the vast majority of us have also stopped using our critical thinking skills.

@Juulmand1 The children of the earth. I take it you haven't been to a schools climate change rally. If you haven't you should, you would learn something if you mind was open.
3
@Shushkin The children of planet earth. The ones that hope we eventually get this right so they lead meaningful lives.

@jan_777 If that is what she said then I agree.

@stoney2424 Seriously do you care how many times I or the left are called communists, though I do find it amusing as it shows a total of lack of knowledge from the name callers. What is even funnier when I get called a fascist communist. Where is your evidence that the right is growing in numbers
2
@shadowandreality How did you come to the conclusions about rights? It is well known that animal production is bad for the environment and that red meat can be bad for men's health but good for women. Nothing is being hidden on honest and open media, of which Sky and Fox News don't belong.
2
@tjgallagher7631 To do believe in equality of opportunity?
2
@dave-d-grunt If you believe that you must have proof that climate change is not happening.
1
@americaisdyingslowly What 'theory' are you talking about? But why don't you test my subjective hypothesis by talking to kids? I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Let me know how it goes.
1
@Shushkin It is more to the point that the fossil fuel companies and their paid sycophants, the right wing media don't care about the future of the children. Who makes more money the fuel companies or the activists?
1
@matthewhunter3370 God! why are the right such cry babies?
1
@theredstonebum4196 The only problem that I see is that not all adults are well educated. The kids I have spoken to and heard at rallies are extremely well educated. Why shouldn't we take them seriously as it is there future and the world they are trying to protect. They are smart enough to know that the fossil fuel companies are putting their profits ahead of anything else. I think that you would find they are also worried about all types of pollution if you listened to them. I'm not seeing too much humility expressed in the comments attacking the kids, mainly just vitriol.
1
@Shushkin Provide evidence that the climate change activists are into abortions and then we can have a discussion. Until then you have just put a list of words together.
1
@matthewhunter3370 I was referring to you being all upset because you thought she was talking for you.
1
@theredstonebum4196 Yes she is. Good on her she has worked hard and deserves the money.
1
@matthewhunter3370 Not always because there are such things as tax concessions, government and private investment , borrowing from banks, offering more shares etc. As green energy is cheaper to produce that gas or coal, their initial investment will be compensated by increased profits. Of course if you live somewhere where energy is not regulated you might well be screwed. Some of us oldies still have it. (at least for a while)
1
@Shushkin So you have no evidence then.
1
@theredstonebum4196 Yes I know, I thought everybody did. She is just taking the scientific evidence and putting it out to the world. Most scientists of all persuasions are notoriously bad at promoting their own work and I would imagine appreciate her help.
1
@theredstonebum4196 No recollection of her crossing the Atlantic twice in a small yacht because she refuse to fly. If you want to see her defend her position go to TED talks.
1
@theredstonebum4196 Already addressed that. But lets cut to the chase. Do you believe her (scientists) claims or not? If you do, why do you have a problem with her. If you don't, why don't you? Either climate change is real or it is not. In that light every we have discussed is pretty meaningless.
1
@theredstonebum4196 I showed you one side is motivated by money. On the other side the only one I know motivated by money is Al Gore. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
1
@aaronsloan638 As far as I can figure out this is your first post. So I am understandably bemused.

@yahallo4423 As an Australian I'm strongly against what China is doing to our farmers, their threatening aggressive behaviour behaviour in the Indo-Pacific region and their treatment of the Uyghyurs and their attempted interference in our politics. China was elected to the Human Rights Commission by the the General Assembly (ie all the world's nations). I suspect this was the payment some nations had to pay for the Silken Road initiative. Not so black and white is it? China is the biggest threat to world peace in the world, so maybe you can get off your holier than thou high horse. (to mix metaphors) Can you point out any where I have accused Trump of tightening voter restrictions. If you believe that voter restrictions are only about identification then your right wing media has done a good job on you. I suggest you fact check the new laws. No corporations are boycotting Georgia, where did you get that lie from? All they did was sign a letter condemning Georgia's new voting laws. The only action has been the MBL removing the All-Stars game. How many buildings has BLM burnt down compared to the right wing agitators who infiltrated the protests and started many of the riots? Never heard about that I bet. Yes attack Maxine while ignoring all the Republicans who incited the violence on Jan 6. I agree with you about the cop who killed the girl, I didn't see that he had much choice. You do know that Trump was still buying his goods from China while he was president don't you? Also at the same time his daughter got a stack of Chinese patents and kept manufacturing goods there. For some reason they never appeared on the tariffs list. Just lucky I guess. Technically a full blown fascist state? Who told you that rubbish or did you just make it up? But if you have evidence I can be convinced. But the saddest thing of all is that I as an Australian know more about what is happening in your country than you do. (If you are not American then just pretend that I didn't write that last sentence).
1
@laurieparks7643 I know I was just having a bit a fun. I can understand why you prefer the US system, it is the only reason that the Republicans have any chance of power at the Federal level. Personally I prefer a system where the majority of voters determine who forms the government. The party I voted for unexpectedly lost the election, but that's fine because more voted for the other guys.
1
@theredstonebum4196 So you are changing from activists are making money to companies making money. There is no perfect answer just a better answer and a worse answer. Why have you dodged answering about whether you believe climate change is real or not.
1
@theredstonebum4196 For funding of climate activists just google 'Funding for climate activists'. That will help save my two sore fore fingers. Can you name a current scientific theory/hypothesis that isn't being debated by scientists? However the consensus appears to be that if the climate increase reaches 2c then irreversible damage will be done. Why don't you look at her claims and then see if they are valid or not. We are not going to change each others mind on the ethics of what she is doing. But I believe she is responsible for millions of people around the world becoming aware of climate change and it's dangers. Many of these people are now advocates for climate change and this is very good. Have you checked her out on TED talks?
1
@_Diana_S Opposite side of the same coin. You can not be a communist and a Nazi. But you can prove me wrong by providing evidence for you claim.
1
@laurieparks7643 Just to let you know Australia is not a Constitutional Republic, though I wish it was a republic, and we don't have an electoral college. Where did you get those ideas from?
1
@tjgallagher7631 Have you seen what is happening in Belarus, Turkey, Russia, Hungary, Syria etc? Have you seen what the Republican party is trying to do in the US? Do you check for reds under your bed?
1
@tjgallagher7631 They are not fascist, but they are right wing dictators. If you haven't heard about them then I suggest the media you watch is deficient. Please provide proof of election fraud, then send it to Trump as he doesn't have it. You could also claim the $1m reward for proof of election fraud, which hasn't been claimed yet. Republican run states are passing election reform bills that are written mainly by the Heritage Action group will make it harder to for people of colour to vote. Please provide evidence of the treasonous lies from the left.
1
@tjgallagher7631 That is one of the more bizarre claims I have heard. You haven't heard of them so they probably don't exist. Seriously? You haven't read the Mueller report have you? You are just relying on right wing media organisations to tell you what it said. So why don't you find out for your self if you dare?
1
@tjgallagher7631 If I gave you a run down of each of them you would probably just ask for more evidence. So have a look for yourself and if you find that I am wrong then you can call me out. I'm happy with that.
1
@tjgallagher7631 The Trump administration instigated the Mueller investigation. Yet you refuse to read the report. Why?
1
@tjgallagher7631 When was the Mueller investigation started? Who instigated it? Who was president?
1
@tjgallagher7631 Why don't you fact check you claims?
1
@tjgallagher7631 When did the Mueller investigation start and who was president?
1
@tjgallagher7631 Do you know who originally paid Steele to produce the dossier? But it doesn't matter any way because the dossier was never used in any investigation. Not too sure how to respond to your attempt at the worlds longest sentence. Perhaps you could provide evidence for at least one of your claims?

@yahallo4423 I don't see democracy losing out to government agencies, what government would cede powers to there underlings? The UN (WHO is a UN agency) can hardly govern itself let alone the world and are dependent on countries for their financial existence. They are struggling to ensure that citizens in the poorer countries are not starving to death and being killed by war or disease. So they are not a threat to democracy. In decades to come I can see a possibility of corporations taking control, through paying off politicians. They already have undue influence on political decisions. The real threat will come when one of the major parties no longer believes in democracy and takes control for themselves, with the aid of corporations, propaganda, restrictive laws on people and appointing sympathetic judges so the constitution can be ignored. Have a look at Russia, Turkey, Poland, Hungary etc. The Republican Party in the US is attempting it now. They already had massive gerrymandering and voter restrictions, whether formal or informal. Now based on Trump's big lie they are tightening voting restrictions to try and prevent minorities from voting. They have packed the judiciary with conservative judges. Right wing media sites like Fox News and NewsMax are providing the propaganda. The 2024 Presidential election could be the most consequential in America's history.

@viveka2994 There is a huge difference between the socialism in a one party state and socialism in a democracy.
1
@viveka2994 I live in Australia and we have socialised medicine and education. What would you call that?
1
@viveka2994 We are talking cross purposes. I think you are talking about the classic Marxist definition of socialism. This has been proven not to work in real life. I am talking about Democratic Socialism. To me this means society allowing everybody the opportunity to achieve their potential.
1
@viveka2994 So does capitalism give equal opportunity to the off spring of a millionaire compared to those who have a poor single parent? Do they have equal educational and health opportunities?
1
@viveka2994 You didn't answer my question. So I will rephrase it. Does Capitalism allow equal opportunity, or do some people have an advantage?
1
@viveka2994 Horrible atrocities happened in the Balkans in the 1990's. That is not the type of government or socialist system I am talking about. I am talking about the type of government and socialist system that is in Scandinavia and envisioned by Bernie Sanders. It is a combination of capitalism, with fail safes that enable the under privileged to be able to have the same chance of success as the rich. It will never be achieved, but every step in that direction will help society.
1
@viveka2994 Hang on! As a I have mentioned before we are using different definitions of socialism. I reject and do not use the Marxist definition. If you can not accept that, then perhaps further discussion is a waste of time. If however you are prepared to look at other definitions, then I hope we can have further discussions.
1
Why don't you show the evidence that climate change is false.
1
@itsmorphed6416 Let me know which one and I will fix it. Thanks.
1
Perhaps you like to elucidate on you some what bizarre statement.
1
@jmack619 Evidence please.
1
@scatdog1 Some people? I think you mean over 81m. One of his the reasons he was voted in (aside from his predecessors total fuck up of covid and the economy) was to reduce the impact of climate change. Why are there climate change deniers like your good self? Because fossil fuel and chemical companies have been paying for and running a propaganda campaign for decades, so their can keep their profits at the expense of the climate and people's lives. They have copied the tobacco company's play book. With Murdoch on board, they have convinced the right wing media and politicians (a little donation here and there goes a long way)that climate change doesn't exist. And just in case you missed it, that was part of what Xiye was saying. So rather than counter her claims the right wing commentator goes straight back to reds under the bed theme from the 1950's. In other words you have been totally conned into believing and behaving in ways that are contrary to your best interests
1
@jaychung1380 So while they are calling her a communist, you are calling her a capitalist.
1
@shadowandreality How is she destroying the free world? If she is then so are the banks that won't invest in fossil fuel projects and the coal miners in the US who want to transition to green energy jobs because they know coal is dead, the people moving away from the coast because of rising sea levels. I don't know what you definition of a free world is, but mine doesn't include the fossil fuel companies polluting the earth for their short term benefits.
1
@yahallo4423 If you live in Australia, then you live in a democratic socialist country.
1
@Garden2ndvariety Hang on the other guys are calling her a Nazi.
1
@metome lardyazz You know that the only people who fear Antifa should be fascists. I don't fear them, do you.
1
Your lack of understanding of today's youth is seriously flawed. They know much much about the world than all previous generations and probably more than you appear to know now.
1
Happy Days But people who have commented are saying they are Nazis. Can you guys ever get your shit together? Any chance you missed the classes on critical thinking if you went to school?
1
@jdash1779 Remember when you didn't go to the library or read newspapers? Kids are the same today, but they have a different source of obtaining information? Any guesses?
1
@Slarti Really, prepared to share your evidence?
1
@MaHa-vm6up They don't read newspapers. They have this new fangled source of information.
1
@matthenley3886 I have tried to debate people who have been conned by Murdoch's media (mainly Fox, but recently Sky) for nearly six years now. They have a code. When they do the Imfao, lol etc it means 'I don't have a clue how to respond to your comment.' When they resort to abuse or ridicule it means 'I don't have a clue how to respond to your comment.' When they do both it means 'I don't have a clue how to respond to your comment.'
1
@americaisdyingslowly Nuh that ones gone through to the keeper, I don't know any about Tik Tok.
1
@matthewhunter3370 So young to be conned by right wing media. Can you ask your teacher if they will teach critical thinking skills and or media literacy. No body is suggesting what you are trying to claim, shit I can't afford an electric car. It is not so much what the individual can do, but more what the government and corporations can do regarding the increased use of green technologies and the gradual phasing out of fossil fuels. For example it is up to the electric companies to gradually convert to green energy, not the consumer.
