You Have Stolen my Dreams and Childhood': Greta Thunberg Sobs as She tells World Leaders: [Trunc]
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | September 23, 2019 | Marlene Lenthang

Environment activist Greta Thunberg made a fiery appearance at the United Nations Climate Summit on Monday where she broke down in tears while furiously scolding international delegates.

'I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,' the 16-year-old Swedish activist thundered in her speech at the Climate Action Summit 2019 in New York.

Thunberg was seen at the UN headquarters Monday morning with an enraged expression on her face as US President Donald Trump upstaged her entrance by walking in behind her flanked by news reporters.

The UN summit convened to have nations make plans to confront global warming and rising fossil fuel emissions.

This girl is going to end up institutionalized if someone responsible doesn't get her the help she needs. This is ridiculous.

The ones she should really be angry with are the ones that stole her brain.

Great Republican ad for 2020.

Yeah, she’s really having it rough since she has her fame - or the fifteen minutes of it.

Institutionalized, worldwide, child abuse on massive scale.

The young will willingly believe most anything that is repeated to them daily, just look at the success of Sesame Street.

The worst mischief that can be imposed on a child is to totally skew their picture of the world. These children are growing up sure they shall not see their thirtieth birthday.

Who knows, maybe they are right. Self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think life if bad, it shall be bad.

It’s really to be that young and be an ignorant s***.

But she did it.

Dumb*ss.

And we have always heard of the socialist utopia that her home country is that has dashed her hopes and dreams and ruined her childhood (which she is obviously in the middle of). She needs to lay her blame on Sweden and her parents since she is a sickly looking child of 16 that has the stature and appearance of a 12 year old. There is obviously something wrong in the water of her nordic valhalla.

Well, of course. The tears and histrionics were saved up until this time. Sorry, girl, but you are living a life of luxury. Your trip across the Atlantic was paid for. You are being supported in your every adventure. You can do TV appearances and make money. You can “write” a book and get rich. You will be offered scholarships at all the ivy league colleges in the USA. (You’re a bit young now.)

All of it was made possible by petroleum products. Admit it, you hate Trump, don’t you?

First, she’s a useful idiot much like David Hogg.

Second, no one gets the childhood or life they dream of. Even the super-rich generally dislike their lives. This is the human condition. Its part of what makes the successful among us have ambition. We wish to change our situation and achieve more. You will most likely find that people who make goals and work to achieve them are happier than those who don’t, or those who have the money to achieve all their goals on a whim.
