BACKLASH: Critics Lambast Melodramatic Greta Thunberg Speech As ‘Child Abuse’

Daily Wire
Elisha Krauss tweeted: "This is heartbreaking and disturbing to me. Environmental activists and her crappy parents have stolen her childhood, not capitalism and the UN."

"Critics responded strongly to a speech given by far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg at the United Nations on Monday, saying that the apparent level of emotional distress she appears to be dealing with constitutes "child abuse."

"Thunberg made waves after she gave a melodramatic speech warning of "mass extinction" while attacking capitalism as "fairytales of eternal economic growth."

"Thunberg, who repeatedly declared "how dare you!" in an arrogant manner, also claimed: "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood."

"Critics weighed in on her speech, calling it "child abuse," "disturbing," "exceptionally creepy," "scary," "insanity," "fanaticism," and "propaganda."

Here is some of the reaction her speech garnered online:
"Federalist editor David Harsanyi tweeted: "The idea that they can use a kid as a political shield, give her immense coverage, and then no [one] is allowed to talk about the substance of her arguments because she is a kid ... is just silly. It's the same with the gun-control kid. He says tons of ridiculous things that are then amplified by media. Yet, people get mad when you point it out. Hey, don't use kids for your political causes. I hate when either side does it.' " . . .

TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk tweeted: "The same people who say we can't criticize 16-year old ANTIFA climate activist Greta Von Thunburg ... Spent months shamelessly attacking the Covington Catholic High School kids — just because they supported our president"

 Rich Lowry: Don’t Listen to Greta Thunberg  . . . "There’s a reason that we don’t look to teenagers for guidance on fraught issues of public policy. With very rare exceptions — think, say, the philosopher John Stuart Mill, who was a child prodigy — kids have nothing interesting to say to us. They just repeat back what they’ve been told by adults, with less nuance and maturity.

"Much of the climate advocacy of young people boils down to the plaint that all parents know well: “I want it, and I want it now.” As one headline on a National Geographic story put it, “Kids’ world climate strikes demand that warming stop, fast.”

"Behind the foot-stomping is the idea that a long-running global phenomenon could be quickly stopped, if only adults cared as much as the kids did. This fails to account for such recalcitrant factors as costs and complexity, but when do children ever think of those? (And who can blame them? They’re children.)" . . .

Speaking of child labor in social justice causes:

IT WAS ALL A HOAX: Little Girl Seen Crying in Viral Video at Global Warming Rally Is a Child Actress – She Was Just a Child Prop for the Left   Video 
"As we reported on Monday — One terrified little girl in Australia couldn’t even talk to reporters about climate change without crying.
"She broke down in tears while talking to reporters about climate change junk science"
"But that was not your typical emotional teen. The girl in the video is an Aussie child actress.

"Via Michael Smith News — the girl even has her own profile at an online talent agency."

Similar to the stage craft enlisted to derail the Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings. Code Pink anarchists and a Conga line of sexual assault victim imposters, including the theatrics by Christine Blasey Ford, all orchestrated. Blasey-Ford, as a psychology professor, is documented to have taught methods of evasion and persuasion to manipulate lie detector readings for the desired answer. She meticulously adopted the voice, hair and dress style, and glasses to convince her audience, contrary to her normal appearance, style, voice and background. Her act collapsed in a convulsion of horrendously malicious lies, overt manipulation, and convenient amnesia.
