    Oh... so suddenly they fought each other. Well well. And nope... they are opposites.

    Political position Far-right

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics
    Right-wing terrorists aim to overthrow governments and replace them with nationalist or fascist-oriented governments.[2] The core of this movement includes neo-fascist skinheads, far-right hooligans, youth sympathisers and intellectual guides who believe that the state must rid itself of foreign elements in order to protect rightful citizens.[49] However, they usually lack a rigid ideology.

    No, it will already have returned by the time she goes home after the UN climate conference in Chile in December.
    She won't be flying back though.

    umm nope.. I seriously doubt my view is in line with Trumps view.

    My point is that unless she is out there solving the problems herself or is at lest offering reasonable solutions she is very mock worthy.

    Which proves my point. Children cannot be relied on to think for themselves - even about when to go to bed.

    I suspect the Jessie Jackson style shakedown model provides a likely approach for future funding.

    Communists fight each other. Surely you know that? Nazis, Fascist and Communists in power established totalitarian regimes. They are all obviously on the same end of the political spectrum.

    And again, most progressives, all over the world, were very supportive of the Nazi and Fascist regimes until negotiations for the USSR's formal entry into the the Tripartite Pact, the Axis, broke down.

    "The USSR accepted the German proposal to divide the world into spheres of influence, but with certain changes; the Soviet sphere would extend south of Baku and Batum, that is across Turkish territory, into northern Iran and Iraq. The USSR should have the right to establish a military base on the straits, Turkey should be invited to join the Tripartite Pact, and territorial guarantees should be given jointly by Germany Italy , and the Soviet Union. If Turkey refused the three powers would take the appropriate military and diplomatic measures to safeguard their interests. It also asked that Japan renounce its claims to coal and oil deposits on Sakhalin Island, and that Bulgaria become part of the Soviet sphere, and sign a mutual assistance pact with the Soviet Union."

    These were the conditions the Communist Soviet Union proposed for agreeing to the Nazi plan to divide up the world" Utopia In Power, Heller and Neckrich, pp 358,359.

    Your point was that children don't think for themselves and that they are being taught to think by parents and teachers. While I raise a very simple problem that about every parent faces every day.... that the child refuses to go to bed. That is a child making up it's own mind. That destroys your point. The life of a child is full of making them sit in time out, or slap them the old fashioned way if you will.... because they do not do what you ask. It's that, or they are bribed with gifts or affection. Life really would be hell, if them kids wouldn't like to do crap that you liked to be done.

    And now, you're pushing the goalpost that they are not reliable.... because they think for themselves. flip flop.

    LOL! Children think like children - they are childish, and they have been taught everything they know.
    As individuals they have no credibility. Greta's teachers should have spoken for themselves - not through a handicapped child.

    I sourced that it's not the case. That the opposites of the political spectrum are totalitarian doesn't make it the same political spectrum. Also, communism is a 1 party system. That's not totalitarian. Not that it matters.

    The west aided the communists against the far right nazi's. Fact.

    They made a deal as well. They must be really really close.

    Communists have killed far more Communists than the Nazis.
    Communists executed almost all the Bolsheviks and just about every other flavor of communist.

    Totalitarians are all obviously on the same end of the spectrum.

    On to Stalin's move toward joining the Axis after the success of the Hitler/Stalin pact:

    "On Nov. 12, 1940 Molotov communicated the following from Stalin to Hitler: "Soviet adherence to the Tripartite Pact seemed perfectly acceptable in principle, as long as it participated as an actual Equal partner, not just a passive object....in this joint effort" Utopia In Power, Heller and Neckrich, p 358.

    The USSR supplied the raw materials for the Nazi war machine.

    That's not any different from your random adult.

    Yeah well. Why isn't that argument a personal attack against children? A personal attack is a lame argument, at best. To put it more plastic... You're just discriminating a child for being a child. The child said something. And your argument is,.. it can't be true, it's not credible, because of who said it. Default. ... in a way that an adult is always more right.

    And that of course is fallacy. Your random American nuclear scientist stranded in the middle of some backward 3rd world nation would die within days if it refuses to listen to some random 12 year old who was raised there as a hunter and gatherer.

    Sounds a lot more, that you know the argument of this child is the truth,... and you're just tossing up an entire smoke screen to avoid the arguments.

    Says nothing about the political spectrum. You're deflecting.

    So Saudi Arabia actually has a communist far left regime.
    Sure! lol

    Russia also signed the peace treaty in 1947 with the US. According to you, that makes the US of the same spectrum as the USSR.
    Again: Sure! lol

    Chilling. Man, I don't even like seeing those "child chef" cook offs on food network. We in the US have wasted some $7 Trillion in the Mid East since the war to save Kuwait from Iraq. The corporate war lovers used the MSM to sell the war using a crying young girl telling some counsel how mean the Iraqies were to her. Ends up she was the daughter of an important Kuwait official. Let's stick with people that have some life experience and know to worry when authoritarians are using kids to manipulate us.

    But who are you going to believe: a superbly qualified Japanese scientist or a Swedish teenager with mental issues?

    Dr. Mototaka Nakamura, a top level climate modeler, wrote a small book in Japanese which recently became available in English.
