Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Clearly Greta Thunberg is being exploited by her cynical puppetmasters, but equally clearly she’s a tiresome, bizarre Marxist scold whose exploitation of the hapless dummies who buy into the climate change hoax is part of what is an increasingly violent plot to undermine capitalism and freedom. Recently, the cretins at TIME, which shockingly still exists in 2019, named her “Person of the Year.” That’s appropriate, since 2019 has been a very annoying year.
In 2029, after the world hasn’t ended but her usefulness has, she’ll be a Jeopardy question and probably shacked up with an unemployed performance artist named Björn in an Oslo suburb. Fun fact: “Greta Thunberg” is Swedish for “Cindy Sheenhan.”
But today, we’re all supposed to fall over ourselves over Pippi Longnagging – at least that’s what our betters command – yet it’s unclear why. Teenagers are notoriously ignorant, and ones spewing recycled Marxism are the worst of all. But the idea is not that this tiresome truant is some visionary thinker. The idea is to leverage her youth and awkwardness to keep you from speaking the indisputable truth that she’s a weird brat who presses for an ideology that butchered 100 million people in the last century. And now, she is hinting she wants to run up that score.
Trump mocked her and a zillion pearls were clutched. How dare you…criticize the Luddite pest who presumes to tell you how to live, leveraging the full benefit of her nearly 17 years of experience to explain to you how stuff should be. How dare you!
Oh, shut-up. Pound sand, you scowling urchin.
The kid is a fanatic, and though that’s no fault of her own – she’s a victim of her pinko exploiters – she is still spewing bloodstained poison.
Bloodstained poison, really? Isn’t she just a nice Eastern Norwegian who wants a better world with love and hugging? Or is she yet another aspiring fanatic ready to kill for the kreepy kommie climate kult?
The other day, this malignant muppet “told cheering protesters … ‘we will make sure we put world leaders against the wall’ if they fail to take urgent action on climate change.” Now, maybe her English is bad, or maybe she’s just ignorant, but then again the murder of opponents is the Marxist way. Marxist? St. Greta? Well, let’s take a look at what was carved on the tablets she recently brought down from Mount Socialism:
“Schoolchildren, young people, and adults all over the world will stand together, demanding that our leaders take action, not because we want them to, but because the science demands it,” she said. “That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.”
Wait, “the science demands” that we “dismantle” all our “[c]olonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression?” Now, what science exactly is that? Is it geology? Physics? Phrenology maybe?
How stupid do they think people are? Very. And to judge by the judges at TIME, they’re often right. Maybe Greta never heard of Siberia or Cambodia, but we have. Screw that – if she wants to impose her masters’ Marxist fantasies on us, she’ll need to be packing something deadlier than “How dare you!”
Everyone who isn’t an idiot knows the climate change hoax was never about “science.” That’s a hack lie they use to shut you up when you point out that the ice age, floods, and mass polar bear die-offs they are always promising never, ever seem to happen. It’s a deliberate scam that blends leftism, hysterical hyperbole, and outright fraud into a gooey pudding designed to fill the spiritual void in empty-souled western suckers while providing a tool for our global leftist establishment to steal more of our money and freedom.
Quick: name a climate change remedy that does not result in you being less free and/or paying more money. It’s actually remarkable. Every single thing that we absolutely must do right now no time to wait how dare you pause to think how dare you is something leftists always wanted but could never talk people into doing until the threat of weather vengeance started lurking around the corner.
You can’t name any. There aren’t any, because the weird climate cult is not about weather but about separating you from your liberty and loot. And, apparently, your life if you won’t obey.
It’s still unclear why the weather weirdos decided to make the odd Ikea kid into their poster child. Americans aren’t that stupid, electing Obama aside. Now, Europeans are suckers for bizarre totalitarian ideologies – that cesspool of a continent gave the world communism and Nazism, so it’s no surprise that the dummies who didn’t get off der buttenhiemers and sail over to America would swoon over her nonsense. But it’s just another example of how out of touch our own garbage ruling caste is when it thinks her Swedish chef scolding is going to work on Normal Americans.
“Hey American person, some vapid punk from Malmö demands you give up your steaks and Ford Explorers.”
“Oh.” [Consumes a rib-eye and lets his SUV run in the lot outside the restaurant].
Hey, if she and her herring-gnawing comrades want to start playing real life revolutionaries, bring it on. In the USA, these Pol Potheads wouldn’t be the only people doing the shooting. Maybe cowardly euroweenies will obediently jump on the train to the gulag, but our American response to Marxist murder dreams would be measured in calibers.
Now, Greta clearly believes all the silliness she is regurgitating, and she will certainly be sad when we ignore it. And that’s too bad. Her feelz are utterly immaterial. In fact, the sadder she gets, the freer we are.
In a general sense, I hope that Greta someday liberates herself from the clutches of the people exploiting her naïve credulousness in order to take our freedom and dollars. But in a more specific way, I could not care less what Greta thinks or feels. And you shouldn’t either.
Greta makes a guest appearance in my new novel Collapse, the action-packed yet hilarious sequel to People’s Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. So do lots of other people who are annoying. That’s part of the fun of setting novels in the near future after liberal insanity has broken our country in two. Check them all out – Bill Kristol (Ahoy! He shows up too!) calls them “appalling!”

Apparently Kurt got his panties in a bunch over the opinion of a teenage girl. Time to take your meds Kurt.
No shit. Of COURSE the fags at TIME will worship her. It would have been her or that other spaghetti armed bitch, whatsisname? David Hogg?
I no longer get angered or outraged by the liberal left. I just laugh, and stockpile popcorn, beer and ammo.
He had to have something to chatter about this week. His appearances on Faux make him a card carrying member of The Chattering Classes.
“Greta makes a guest appearance in my new novel….”
So this screed was just ad for your book?
I thought you were a lawyer. You’re supposed to attack someone directly and not drift off on some inane tangent.
Anyone catch the post she made sitting on the floor of the train with all her baggage headed home looking like a refugee? She posted it along with some snarky comment about the trains and the Rail Company posted a response that said something like- “Were you unhappy with the accommodations that were provided to you in the first class section where you were seated?”
She’s due every criticism coming her way because she agreed to be the face of this fraudulent shakedown. They thought that a mentally challenged and emotionally fragile teenage girl would be bulletproof from criticism, but as unintended consequences teach us, we don’t live in that world of respect and gentility any longer. The patriarchs have been brought low and with them all the trappings and customs of the era. She’s just another slob like one of us, and as such must live with the slings and arrows of a Post-Masculine era.
Very true. Unfortunately there are people who willingly use children as soldiers. In war, when a child soldier attacks you, you still have to defend yourself or kill the attacker. Greta and everyone else needs to know that bad ideas can be criticized and really dumb ideas ridiculed.
Not only that but her parents need to be whipped with a knotted plow line in my opinion.
“… They thought that … we don’t live in that world …any longer.” Just plain sociopathy, they being the ones who ripped off that veneer of civility.
An autistic person being exploited by their handlers does not deserve abuse, her parents and handlers do.
Pol Potheads? I think anyone with any common sense thinks this little girl was used and abused by her parents and other wackjobs. People who actually think that they can control the weather and how hot or cold the planet gets. The sun does what it does.
I have a lot of experience with people on the autistic spectrum which obviously you do not. Autistic people can be programed to believe anything and they will believe it 100%. They do not have the ability to think abstractly, and therefore only see issues one way…the way they were taught.
Do you comments apply to everyone on the autistic spectrum? Or just people who are ignorant of the scientific method and how it is applied?
If environmentalism restricted itself to truly caring for our natural resources, I would have no problem with it. However, with the secret science and questionable funding that these environmental groups possess taints the whole barrel.
It turns out that many claims that environmentalists make have no basis in fact and are not based on good, honest, scientific investigation. This is why environmental scientists have to hide their data, as it does not fit their agenda.
A good example of this is the so-called global warming crap, now renamed climate change. For one, the climate is always changing. The East Anglia emails in which data was purposely falsified by climate scientists comes to mind. Not only that, the climate scientists purposely installed temperature monitoring sensors in cities, contrary to manufacturers recommendations and good scientific practices, in asphalt-covered parking lots, and other heat sink areas in order to prove their (faulty) hypothesis. This is scientific dishonesty at its worst.
It turns out that the solar system is in a cooling cycle due to decreased solar activity. There are two long-term solar cycles that reinforce themselves when in phase and cancel themselves out when out-of-phase. Look up the Maunder minimum. There are no SUVs on Mars or other planets, yet they are also experiencing the same solar variability.
Environmentalism has been the method used to impose communist principles on western society, especially in the USA.
Environmentalists are not content with promoting clean water, air and land, but are hell-bent on controlling human behavior, and yes, promoting extermination plans for much of humanity as these anointed types consider mankind to be a pestilence (except for themselves) to be reduced in population by any means necessary.
Environmentalists HATE the God-given concept of private property and have imposed government-backed and enforced land use controls on private property owners without compensation, clearly an unconstitutional taking of private property. If environmentalists want to control land use, let them purchase it themselves, not by government force.
Today the only method of negating government-imposed land use restrictions is shoot, shovel, and shut up.
If environmentalists had their way, the earth’s human population would be reduced by approximately 90%, with the remainder to (be forced) to live in cities, in soviet-style high rise apartments, utilizing bicycles, buses and trains for transportation. The use of automobiles and access to pristine wilderness (rural) areas would be off-limits to us mere mortals, and would only be available for these anointed environmentalists.
The endangered species act is another abuse of environmentalism. Species are always changing, to adapt to their environments-survival if the fittest. In fact, the hoopla over the spotted owl (that placed much northwest timber land off-limits to logging) turned out to be nothing but scientific misconduct and arrogance. There are virtually identical species in other parts of the northwest.
More scientific malpractice occurred when government biologists attempted to plant lynx fur in certain areas to provide an excuse for making those areas off-limits for logging or development. Fortunately, these scientists were caught, however, no punishment was imposed.
In order to promote the false religion of “global warming” aka “climate change”, NASA “scientists” purposely installed temperature sensors in city parking lots and roads contrary to good scientific principles and practices in order to “skew” the “global warming” results.
In a nutshell, today’s environmentalism IS communism like watermelon-green on the outside and red (communist) on the inside.
It is interesting to note that communist and third-world countries have the WORST environmental conditions on the planet. Instead of the USA and other developed countries spending billions to get rid of that last half-percent of pollution, it would behoove the communist countries to improve their conditions first.
Here is a question for you environmentalists: Why is there a push for restrictive environmental regulations, but only on the developed first-world countries, and not the gross polluters such as India and China?
“… there’s always a purpose in nonsense. Don’t bother to examine a folly–ask yourself only what it accomplishes …” Ayn Rand
No she won’t end up shacked up with an artist- she’ll be wearing a burka and pushing out her 8th migrant baby.
If only there was a political party or movement or even a single politician in the US with the testicular fortitude to counter the communists.

Dear, sweet child, would you please quit traveling the planet and shut the power off to your mic, YOU ARE KILLING THE PLANET!!! It works both ways.
This is literally true ….
— ONE day Greta SUDDENLY appeared in an article on the internet. (Like you , I NEVER heard of her before.)
— On day TWO she was all over the internet.
— By day THREE she was a worldwide celebrity.
She is literally a creation of the media. Her 15 minutes of fame is almost up. Then the only one who will know her name is the mooslim immigrant who will rape her … in her little Swedish paradise.
This is a girl with a developmental disability who could be programed to believe anything. It is not her fault, it is her parents who are the ones who belong in jail for using her disability to further their own agenda
