[News] Greta 1 v 0 Tate

[BN9 BHA]

She could have retorted with science and composure and retained credibility

I think maybe you are right here. (I’m guessing you mean silence though)
What she has done is given an an attention seeker the attention he craves, I had not heard of Tate until this week, others on this thread have mentioned the same and probably thousands more.
Many of us now think he’s a twat though, but that probably wouldn’t bother his type.

There's a few people embarrassing themselves a little bit on this thread IMO.

I have already made the point that as adults we have a responsibility to know what people like Tate are saying precisely because they influence kids. This week’s events have highlighted something extremely important and it wasn’t a better world last week when we didn’t know.

I'm betting she wasn't.

I was working as a brickies labourer at 15 onwards every school holidays.

I don't think our little Swedish hand puppet has done a hard days work of physical labour in her life.

We're not talking about some poor under privileged kid here, her parents are well off so let's not pretend she was doing it tough in her teens.

I'm sure Tate couldn't be prouder. That's proper masculinity that is

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

And who silenced anyone elses voices who dared have a different opinion to them.

Kinda like all the other nasty little regimes who followed a similar path.

Something psychotic about people who wish to silence others voices isn't there.

No, not really. I want to silence people like Tate because of the harm he does.

Why are people more wound up about a young girl trying to do good in the world, than a misogynist woman-beating, alleged rapist, alleged sex trafficker?

Welcome to a future polarised world taster. Alt-Right v Left, eco. I have that feeling ‘you ain’t seen nothing yet’

They are part of the Millennials v Gen Z culture war.

The two generations that are addicted to social media are always going at each other.

This is the new norm.

Fair play, this is definitely not the rambling of someone who struggles to deal with concept of social media.

 

[rogersix]

If you think that's all that technology does then obviously you haven't.

Just a hint, it makes everyone's lives much easier and safer.

electric lighting helping us work round the clock?

very muddled thinking, are you making it up as you go along?

 

[rogersix]

Alleged being the operative word there, it’s funny how people assume guilt when they already have a pre formed opinion of a person.

Like I’ve said many times in this thread, Tate is an outspoken twat, but people who are so hilariously amused by a fake email address must be utterly braindead, it’s so unfunny it’s almost actually funny.

She could have retorted with science and composure and retained credibility, instead she made a personal jibe, which if Tate made a similar personal jibe would be condemned, doesn’t matter who started it.

i think you may've missed the point, is this person worthy of a considered response?

gt has clearly triggered you, try to retain some sort of objectivety

I do hope you are wrong. My hope is that there are far more people in this world that sit somewhere in the middle. Living their lives without having to nail their colours to the extreme right or left and not even having to think about it. Just being decent people ... which I believe most are. Unfortunately it's those on the extremes that make the most noise and take over all sorts of media that makes it difficult to ignore.

 

[The Wizard]

it’s not a personal jibe ffs ! It’s a common phrase used against men who boast about silly things , particularly completely unprompted.

Exactly my point. Can I ask, had Greta mentioned Tate first and started it, would it have been okay for Tate to reply with an insulting remark?

The double standards are always so amusing.

it's extremely odd, you won't get a reply of course

But that ISN'T what happened.

That's not what GT does! But it IS what Tate does!

Double standards don't come into it!

I literally couldn’t care less, what annoys me is the double standards when people don’t like an individual, same as his arrest, everyone assumes his guilt because they don’t like him, despite the fact it word normally be libellous to assume someone is a rapist or a people trafficker.

I detest the blame and his online following, but I also am not a fan of Thunberg, she started out wanting to do good but has become very extreme in her views.

All she did by replying to his comment, was send more ‘traffic’ his way and thus more attention, exactly what he wants.

I’m literally asking you, if that were the case, and she called him out in some childish way as he did, would him replying with some insult that targets women be acceptable?

It's a good question with a very obvious one word answer.

Insecurity.

Insecure about what

I dislike both, Tate much more so but it doesn’t blind me to the fact all she did by replying with that was give him the attention he wanted by posting what he did. And it wasn’t even half funny, it’s the kind of thing someone in early secondary school would find funny

If you can't see that GT's comment was a light hearted response ... when it was Tate that kicked this whole thing off ... then that says more about you. It's nothing to do with double standards!

Of more concern was the comment from Julia H-B which brought GT's autism into the debate (because J H-B is J H-B) in quite an unpleasant way.

It was posted on the Elon Musk thread because he'd already been banned from Twitter, bur Musk seems to think Twitter is better with lots of controversy. Tate is allowed back on and started boasting to Greta about his 33cars with 6L and 8L engines.

When looking at someone judge them by the company they keep (this is on the other thread too)

Sorry to bounce my own post, but it is interesting that one of the photos is of Yaxley Lennon (Tommy Robinson) because 6 of the charges the Romanian police are bringing of alleged trafficking, involve grooming. Girls being tricked into a romantic liaison and then coerced into porn and raped.
