From what I gather, blocking an oil port is extremist and doesn’t actually do anything but make life more difficult for the general population.
From that perspective I can agree with him. Blockading an oil port is an extreme approach to combating climate change. More sensible approaches would be figuring out how to lobby governments to tax fossil fuels and use that money to support renewable resources.
And people didn’t think Trump had a shot back in 2016.
I live in a town that’s split down the middle politically and I still see people flying Trump flags even after all the bs he has done. We even had a council member denounce pride month back in June at a council meeting. They think they are fighting the good fight.
Anyway, my point is that there are people who will see what Greta is doing, even if it benefits them, and still fight it because they think their side has their back.

You want to enter a bidding war with one of the biggest global industries? Nations literally go to war for fossil fuels.
How did what she did make life more difficult for anyone except corporations? No one would have noticed anything, mate.
Hmm, in this instance probably. I am worried she’ll gather the wrong type of attention and turn more people off than on to climate issues.
Hasn’t happened thus far.
I am not sure about that. There plenty of people who use her as an example to further their propaganda against progressive movements.
No one is paying attention to them.

Oh, she’s extremist compared to the political center. Just as people in favor of women’s suffrage were in the early 20th century.
Doesn’t make her wrong though. It’s just damning for the majority.
