I can't help but feel your support for the child protests is due to the fact that they align with your political views.
Say that 5,000 catholic school students went on strike and protested in town against abortion rights.
Would you also consider them wonderful and wise or would you denounce them as a bunch or brainwashed fools?

Agree. It's obvious why the left is applauding this student activism.

Makes sense why they want to lower the voting age, especially when they're dominating the academic institutions in this country.

The tiny children are a trivial sideshow. With or without the support of the toddlers, the planet is going to burn. Get with the movement or get fried.

The only reason you'd think of something like this as being brainwashing is if you don't believe in the science yourself. And if that's the case, then it is you, not they, who have been brainwashed, o climate sceptics.

There is no connection between arguing that we shouldn't make huge social, economic and political decisions based on the whims of minors and denying climate change.

Nor is there a connection between being suspicious of children mouthing slogans that align with the ideological goals of their carers and denying climate change.

As for your love for, and adherence to, science remind me again how a man can become a woman by putting on a dress.

To all the school kids going on "strike" for Climate Change.

You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom.

You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised.

You spend all day and night on electronic devices.

More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.

You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy.

Your entertainment comes from electric devices.

Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.

The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.

How about this...

Tell your teachers to switch off the air-con.
Walk or ride to school.

Switch off your devices and read a book.

Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.

No, none of this will happen because you are selfish, badly educated, virtue signalling little turds, inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a "noble cause" while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life."

Wake up, grow up and shut up until you are sure of the facts before protesting.

You can't blame the school kids for most of those points. It's the adults who brought in the air-conditioning in classrooms, the parents who insist on driving their cherished ones to school (often in a stupid 4WD), buy all the stupid consumables for them to throw away, introduce and refuse to monitor internet or other screen usage.

Yes, they can take it upon themselves to change those habits, but as mentioned, they were introduced and nurtured by the adults "looking after" them, which is why they are self-indulgent, spoilt brats.

However, the gist of the protest was climate change denialism, which is conveniently absent from the facebook rant.
