Greta Thunberg FTW

[highplainsdem]

This was her response to the disgusting thug Andrew Tate after he baited her. If you don't know who Tate is, see this OP posted after Musk reinstated Tate's Twitter account, after Twitter and other social media platforms had banned him: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217392752

Tate is dumb enough to think he could troll Greta Thunberg with two tweets including a mocking video he'd had someone cobble together for him.

Thunberg's response first:

1. Now, that's funny 😁.

[highplainsdem]

8. Yes. Biggest laugh of the day so far.

[Bluethroughu]

2. Well this creepy loser is soo living the life that he has time to create this and troll her.

That's proof enough, he's a bore.

[highplainsdem]

43. Very creepy, and very much a bore.

[Torchlight]

3. She adds a lot to my hope for humanity.

Him, not so much.

[highplainsdem]

45. She adds to my hope, too. Tate is reason to despair. It's pathetic

that so many men apparently admire him. But they're pathetic.

[Bluethroughu]

76. Little boy brains admire that kind of behavior, not all but some.

She scares them with her strength, that is why they pay attention to her.

[roamer65]

4. Sounds to me like Tater tot needs a 70 percent tax rate.

Plus, it would be fun to run all those cars through a crusher and make him watch it.

[2naSalit]

11. Ooooh!

I might consider paying to see that!

[niyad]

12. 90 per cent

[Bluethroughu]

77. Exactly what I'm thinking.

[Wednesdays]

16. Indeed. 33 cars?

I'm hard pressed to think of a reason why anyone would need FIVE.

[soldierant]

56. Quadruplets sixteenth birthday?

[Wednesdays]

63. Well, I was thinking along the lines of

one for yourself, one for your spouse, one for your adult kid, a pickup truck or van to haul stuff, and an off-road vehicle or business vehicle or something. But very rarely does one need more than that.

[soldierant]

73. I guess it came to my mind on account of

my BFF, who has two sons, both driving, both under 25, both working but not paid well enough to cover the insurance on the vehicles they need in order to hold their jobs. She's a widow, but if there were two parents in the ousehold, t would really only take one more kid to make five vehicles. I wasn't thinking of single-purpose vehicles, which would increase the number - but NOT to 33

[highplainsdem]

46. +1,000,000

[onethatcares]

5. I spent last evening at a dinner

in lieu of gifts for Christmas and I just couldn't keep up with the "I got this" crowd. From the jewelry to the new cars and cruises.

Worst part was listening to my son explain why insurance companies should be made to feel "comfortable" here in Florida in order to write new homeowners policies.

No one wanted to hear about the new vegetable plants I've decided on for this growing season for some reason.

23. Il faut cultiver son jardin. Voltaire, from Candide

One must grow their own garden.
Also a splendid musical piece by Leonard Bernstein based on Voltaire's Candide.
My take: True wealth is "inside".

FWIW, though there may be gravestones with autos on them (I doubt it), I do believe that Bill Harrah's auto collection is gone, and Ken Behring's autos are in a museum in Danville, CA. And the same for other trinkets. The pharaohs tried to take it all with them, and their graves are all robbed, by archeologists, even.

My (ex) wife always berated me for being a "hoarder" but IMNSHO, I "hoarded" books, tools, cameras, computers, music scores and musical instruments (and not in excess!) for a purpose: creating new things, exploring new ideas, improving my job skills, and having fun. To this day, in retirement, I am out before dawn, looking for sunrises (and got a spectacular one on my daughter's birthday, a most unique gift to her) and I am still practicing piano works. No garden, because I live where the deer will eat your doorframes if they get hungry enough. Next destination: another magnificent rose garden, like I have grown in the past.

“life’s treasures” can be bundled into three main categories: (i) the Treasures of the Storehouse (ii) the Treasures of the Body (iii) the Treasures of the Heart. (Nichiren)

“Treasures of the storehouse” are material treasures – money / financial wealth; assets like land, buildings, and jewelry. “Treasures of the body” mean attributes one possesses as a person. i.e. things like physical health, educational background, personality, knowledge, skills, and talents, position at work and social standing etc.

One must remember that the treasures of storehouse and body are transient.
On the other hand, “the treasures of the heart” are permanent and stay with us (forever).

“More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. Strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!”

36. I LOVE this quote!

Gotta use it in one of the upcoming “Call to Action” emails that my Indivisible group puts together every week - which I’m assuming we’re gonna resume as of this coming weekend.

[highplainsdem]

48. What a great quote! And I love your attitude. I agree that belongings that

aid creativity are different from, more important than, other material treasures.

[CTyankee]

49. Yes, yes, yes! I write about art that I have loved and hope my readers will have the same joy that

art can bestow upon your heart. I have wept tears of joy in museums and museum workers have told me I am not alone. Indeed, one museum person told me that he sees that weeping "all the time." Often, tho, I am just stunned.

[usonian]

52. Wonderful. My Dad was an artist.

I am of lesser artistic talent and express it via my photography, my way of sharing my delight with and connection to this beautiful world. Oh yes, there's the classical music, too. I am somewhat synesthetic, and am often taken over by great works.

A pre-dawn photo:

[CTyankee]

53. The sky, when you can actually stand apart and see it, is so miraculous.

[SergeStorms]

58. And no one owns it.

Some think they do, but that's just their ego talking.

[Wednesdays]

65. Matthew 6:19-21

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

[highplainsdem]

47. I'm so sorry you had to deal with such shallow, stupid people.

[RainCaster]

6. A Tesla is faster than any of his petro burners

Shame that he wasted so much money on his fragile ego.

[SergeStorms]

59. If it's not bursting into flames....

or driving itself into a wall.

I know. I'm definitely a Tesla hater. I admit it.

[roamer65]

7. Please Tater tot, send pictures of each one.

So we all know which car to “key” when we see it.

[Initech]

9. Pretty sure most people who own Bugattis don't get them fueled at Arco.

[2naSalit]

13. +1

[SergeStorms]

60. Some petrol stations...

offer ethanol-free, 95 octane fuel. They're definitely few and far between though.

[lambchopp59]

10. Deplorable's hero

There's one who if he met with the absolute worst of fates, here's the world's smallest violin playing "My heat bleeds for you".
Maybe say the ignition fails to shut off the engine in an inescapable garage... and hope he's alone.

[Blue Owl]

14. Bwah!

Didn't know she had such a sharp sense of humor!!!

[TygrBright]

33. She has been trolled, harassed, stalked and called out by the worst scum on the planet.

She is bright and a fast learner.

I am absolutely not surprised she nailed him so perfectly.

amusedly,
Bright

[niyad]

15. Okay, after a brief stint in the delousing chamber after looking this woman-hating,

misogynist piece of filth up. . .liar, scam artist, scum, violent, hate/rage-filled waste of resources.

Ms. Thunberg handled him perfectly.

[BigmanPigman]

68. Good summary, that saved me time.

[niyad]

71. Apparently he fled to Romania ahead of possible rape charges, and converted

to islam.

[BigmanPigman]

72. I ended up looking him up

just to see what he looked like (I need visuals to complete an opinion) and I read that part about his lies regarding his religion. He must be pals with Santos since they have so much in common.

I concluded, based on his photos, that is is trying to over compensate for the lack of a chin. He can have the biggest muscles in the world but he still lacks a chin. He is no "man" in his own version of a real man and he knows it. He should grow a manly-man beard like Don Jr. to try to hide it a little or get a chin implant like Ivanka did.

[DENVERPOPS]

80. No one notices

Ivanka's or Melanoma's "chin" implants. Word has it that the two of them caused a two month national shortage by Dow Chemical of their bathroom silicone caulk.......

[GoCubsGo]

17. That being said,

i still have no clue who is this Andrew Tate fuckstick, or why anyone should give a rat's ass about him and his ugly-ass car. Nor, do I really care. Greta seems to have pegged him right.

[grantcart]

20. Me too. His TikTok videos have been downloaded 13 billion times

Hard to believe.

Lots of incels

[SergeStorms]

61. What a waste of air.

But then I find it difficult to believe that "influencer" is considered an actual occupation these days.

The world has passed me by, and I couldn't be happier about it.

[Lucky Luciano]

21. He's a misogyny influencer...grab 'em by the pu..y x a billion.

I understand he had to move to Romania because he was about to be arrested for rape.

Incels probably love him.

[niyad]

22. The previous DU thread explains him. Nauseating, hate-filled waste of resources.

[GoCubsGo]

24. I suspect that Mr. "Kickboxer" has been kicked in his fat head one time too many.

And, then some.

[niyad]

25. Not just his head.

[GoCubsGo]

30. He needs a few more good kicks there, too.

Hopefully, from a pissed off mule. One of these days, he's going to abuse the wrong woman, and if he's lucky, she'll just shoot off his nuts.

[calimary]

37. Same here.

I’d never heard of him before. But then again, I don’t do TikTok.

[H2O Man]

18. Recommended.

[MontanaMama]

19. Someone call an ambulance

for this asshole. Greta laid him OUT.

[dai13sy]

26. Greta Rocks.

Right to the point and nails him with a mind of enormous strength. Sounds like Tate is totally lacking in masculine anything but he thinks his cars make up for it. Wrong!! Cars do not make up for what is missing

[AllaN01Bear]

27. how about selling all the cars and feeding the hungry sir.

[MagickMuffin]

28. Greta you win the incel loser

Whatatinydick, Andrew Taint is!

[AllaN01Bear]

29. 33 cars, like whooppie and bfd. yawn

[onethatcares]

31. I wonder who gets them

when he's gone?

[Wednesdays]

67. It'll be like the scene in "A Christmas Carol"

when the Ghost of Christmas Future shows the scene of the hustlers selling off Scrooge's belongings when he dies.

[Vinca]

32. Greta's in the running for best tweet of all time.

[Rob H.]

34. 33 cars and no chin

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. K&R

[Cherokee100]

38. Looks like

Looks like he has plenty of practice, pumping gas in cars. That must be, his life long goal in life. What a shame.

[Uncle Joe]

39. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread highplainsdem

[TeamProg]

40. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

[Traildogbob]

41. Yea

All the soldiers that have died and are dying securing his “endless” supply of Petri really appreciate his Patriotism. A long slow cancerous death from rotting lungs would be appropriate. And I would pay to watch that. And fuck you tator.

[Wibly]

42. Greta knows

With all those penis extensions he must have plenty to compensate for.

[republianmushroom]

44. like

[PatrickforB]

50. So...who is this Andrew Tate? Is he some kind of sports guy, or some mongrel celebrity?

Because his opinion is something I profoundly don't care about.

At all.

Thunberg, on the other hand...now there's somebody living a life with real meaning.

[highplainsdem]

51. Click on the link posted in the first paragraph of the OP,

which will take you to another OP with links to articles about him.

[PatrickforB]

64. Ick. Disgusting man.

Thanks for the link.

Sigh.

Here is hoping Andrew Tate gets dick punched by karma real soon

[Joe Cool]

62. Down goes Tate, down goes Tate!

[LiberalFighter]

66. Does he drive all 33 cars at the same time?

[highplainsdem]

69. See this thread for Tate's responses, which were pathetic:

[flvegan]

78. Pathetic. Lucid Air Sapphire destroys everything he brags about. The Plaid too, sorry (not) Elon.

As does the Rimac Nivera and the Pininfarina Battista. The Kia (KIA, ffs) EV6 GT will do naught to 60 in what, 3 seconds?

All electric.

This comes from an absolute petrolhead who has owned more muscle and sports cars than should be allowed. I love Ferrari, Bugatti, Lambo, but facts are facts.

[Crunchy Frog]

79. I don't know who he is, but I blocked him as soon as I saw that exchange on Twitter.
