Opinion of school strikes for climate?

[LAKISYLVANIA]

It all started with Greta Thunberg

School strike for climate

Des milliers d'étudiants suisses se mobilisent contre l'inaction climatique translation: thousands of Swiss students mobilise against lack of action of climate

Schoolchildren’s climate protests spread

The protests in Belgium will be held every thursday until general elections in May.

FF, of course.

Ultra retarded, should be punished. But journalists who claim "this is not ideological, we should all get behind this!1!1!!" not realizing this is absolutely ideological, regardless of whether you support them, are much worse.

[Big Abraham]

Seems pretty pointless to me

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Great, hopefully they spread across the world.

FF, of course.

[Diouf]

She is a dangerous totalitarian whose rabid anti-progress policies would cause widespread suffering for millions of people.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

FF, of course, and poster "Diouf" describing a sixteen-year-old child as a "dangerous totalitarian" is so incredibly Atlas

I assumed it was a reply to the Ayn Rand thread accidentally posted in here.

Idiotic childish nonsense.  But at least they are children unlike a certain 72-year-old who is acting even more childish than this.

I'm generally not a fan of school strikes, especially not for non-education related reasons, but the cliamte issue is important enogugh that I'm willing to give them a free pass.

Massive FFs (though I'd prefer some actual protests as well)

There have been actual protests, but it's been ignored in december. That was one key motivation of the organisator to hold those school strikes.

[Senator Incitatus]

A good idea. Chinese industry must be reigned in by military force if necessary; these strikes demonstrate to world governments that something must be done. Since children are the most highly-impacted by China's environmental terror, this movement makes perfect sense.

[Diouf]

Proposing to abolish democracy in favour of an authoritarian regime that will act directly against the wishes of its citizens in order to enact policies that will severely hurt them is a terrifying idea.
