You know, here I was, expecting you to post to some crank with some bullshit idea of what COVID is, but you surprised me...

... instead you just spent it reposting an excerpted CNN article about Greta Thunberg, and ridiculing her admonition that the people should listen to experts in major crises like that’s self-evidently wrong. And, indeed, the article states that Thunberg is not an expert, that she doesn’t even pretend to be more than an activist, and she flat-out stated this in a Twitter post near the end of the article:

“Greta Thunberg” Wrote:I am not an expert. I am an activist. The only people claiming that I’m an “expert” are those who are trying to ridicule me. My message has always been to unite behind the science and listen to the experts.

Also, I’m fairly certain that there’s a rule against making thread titles this misleading, No. 24, I think.

Game, set, match.

For what it’s worth, I just reported it, citing the exact rule and why I think this thread violates it in the span of a single second.

Sorry but that is an incorrect assumption. 
It's not her that im ridiculing, it's the people that added her to this panel, the people that are taking a child and using her for political reasons, the people that glorify her

Little boy now trying to give psych evals?

Sad.

Gretta is far smarter than the orange fuckface squatting in the White House.

She is RIGHT on climate change and overwhelming majority of climate scientists agree with her, not big oil companies. And the simple fact with this virus scientists and doctors all agree even people in Trump's administration, all agree that any type of event that packs people in like sardines, right now is a bad thing. And the only thing, until a vaccine is widely available to the world, is to do what medical experts advise, just like Greta is heeding their advice.

And we are already seeing in places like Florida, that DID open up too early, rises in deaths. You can't cherry pick states, because to call the virus politically weaponized by the left when there are 50 states, and some are more populated than others.

Using him as an authority counts

Nope if you source something you are accountable for it and calling you out for that is not dishonest 

Quote: Your anger dictates your words

There is no anger here accept the anger you project on to me

Nope

Now that's an assumption

I would tweak this and say, "I am not angry at laypeople for their ignorance or denial. I am angry at those in power that know better but don't care."
