I dont think you have to be a psycologist to work out the Greta situation.

Wasnt there a member on here just recently who indicated in his post, most of the information that was observed in that short movie.
I was surprised that the information didnt include how she is reaping enormous financial benefit from her antics.

Imagine some retired psychologist who is prepared to say all the things that will get him an adoring social media audience of neo-conservatives by saying just what they want to hear, because few others are prepared to sell their souls for some sad form of fame. How gullible would you have to be to hold him up as anything but a sold out ex professional.

I have little doubt that the majority of psychologists with even a shred of integrity would dismiss him as nothing more than a dog whistler to his sychophantic followers.

The repeated accusation of Greta Thunberg reaping a personal fortune from her climate change stance does not hold up to scrutiny.

I add these comments not expecting for a moment  that to do so will change anyones mind from what they already believe, rather just to add a little balance in another thread where grown men think it's ok to attack the girl rather than discuss the issues she raises in any form other than denial & accusation.

 Well said Cuppa. 

Probably best that I say no more.

Cheers for 2023

I ask it is who? who is getting an adoring social media audience

Greta Thunberg Net Worth

As a matter of fact, Greta Thunberg has been a proponent and activist for climate justice since she was just six years old. She is just 19 years old. She has not even completed her regular high school degree, but she has already been awarded multiple PhDs by different universities in the world. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has a net worth of $2 Million. According to various online resources (Wikipedia, Forbes, IMDB), the most popular Swedish activist Greta Thunbergs estimated net worth is around $2 Million.

Can anyone on here tell the forum of anyone else who has been awarded Multiple PhDs having not even completed a high school education.

Now I ask would anyone hold faith in the ravings of an uneducated child with fairy tale awards as opposed to a qualified Psychologist be it that he is retired or not.

I think this goes to show how gullible some people really are.

Thought this thread would be popcorn worthy! not disappointed.

 2 million eh? That's doubled since the last Greta Thunberg thread here !  And it is a highly contentious figure. Most estimates suggest 1 million, & the basis of those estimates is based upon prize money she was awarded. However she says she has donated all of that money to a variety of charities & causes fighting for causes to reduce global warming..... not to build her personal wealth.

One only has to look a bit further through the Google results to find that sort of information, alongside the reports which prefer to paint her in a bad light.  

Picking the higher 2 million figure must have seen you scrolling through a few results for you to reject before settling on one which made her sound worse. 

Bottom line is as I previously stated " The repeated accusation of Greta Thunberg reaping a personal fortune from her climate change stance does not hold up to scrutiny." 

No-one actually knows  what she's worth, but we know what she has said about it. Either you believe her or you don't. That is the most anyone can do. Not state beliefs (or estimates) as fact.

Personally, I see her integrity as central to her credibility & cannot imagine that she would risk that for money. What makes her so disliked by many is her integrity & her blunt unrefined honesty, so much so that trying to undermine her as a person is the best her detractors  can manage, & that will never succeed, because the harder they try the more right she looks. And it simply displays two things 1. they don't like what she says & wish she would go away & 2. that by attacking her personally to try to undermine her in any way they can , that they have no reasonable ,nor logical argument to counter what she says. All the dross fails to reference the issues but focusses only on how this young girl presents herself. All in all a fairly clear way of showing they have nothing credible to counter the uncomfortable truths she tells.

Yes... well... perhaps if you refrained from posting pictures of buckets of popcorn in order to encourage argument that would help....

I don't know why but it seems that a certain group of posters have this morbid terror of any young woman who either has an opinion contrary to the one they hold or any young woman who gains recognition or success. Heaven help any young woman or any female who has the gall to allege a criminal act allegedly committed by a male.

Young people today are on average much more sophisticated, learned and opinionated than most of us at a corresponding age. They are now in a position to control what is happening as they are becoming the dominant age group with massive voting powers.

I don't really know what Greta has to say as I don't follow her press. I am aware she is very pro climate action and I think this is a good thing. I think the fact that any young person has an opinion and a cause to follow is good. As long as it is not unlawful or hurtful, what does it matter. You can either agree or disagree with the view but there is no need to attack the person personally because she disagrees with your opinion. Of course she has been influenced by others. Everyone is influenced by others as they grow up. It might be teachers, parents, peers or a personality. Just because someone has been influenced does not mean they have been indoctrinated. I admire people who are vocal about issues that they care about. I don't care if they are 18 or 108, male or female. Good on them.

I think Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud would enjoy some of the posts on this forum. I think they would analyse most as coming from a select group of males who would best be described as uxorius.

I'm wondering if any of you watched the video of Peterson? he was expressing concern for Greta along with the fact that she was being manipulated by others at a very tender age, not denigrating her.

Troll? nope, I posted the link in the hope that it may generate intelligent discussion, sadly not to be.

Regardless, the thread has been entertaining.

Hi Dmaxer

Before you wrote the post above did you take the time to read all comments.

If you had you would have noted that the second contributor (Dorian) proceeded to denigrate the Psychologist. 
Did anyone notice that this child does not even have a secondary education. Of course this is her choice but what sort of credibility does any University or Education facility has when they issue a PhD to her..

The video Santa put up was informative and actually did indicate that anyone viewing the clip should be concerned as to what is happening to her.

Dmaxer, even the rude and bombastic comments of another on here in support of her misguided and manipulated program of telling the world that we are all to blame for her twisted view of the world is only his comments, nothing more.

The same bloke bangs on and on and on about personal attacks.

Well I might just snip this sentence to see who is the guilty party really is with personal attacks.

Snip:

I have little doubt that the majority of psychologists with even a shred of integrity would dismiss him as nothing more than a dog whistler to his sychophantic followers. 

I wont include any part of his personal attack reply to my post above ( you can all read again what I originally posted and not what he snipped) apart from to say that my content did not provide him any reply to feed his PD.

The bit he left out was:

Yes, there are many of us on the forums that wont forget that.

Dmaxer, I am sure Jung and Freud would have some very interesting comments. They certainly have great analysis of NPD.

A person with NPD has a great fear for and educated empath

In case some are not aware who this character is and who are his followers perhaps this picture might assist.

 Just another little snip Rick. 

This particular comment that you have bolded & suggest is a personal attack is a clear demonstration that you confuse criticism with personal attack.

 Clear as mud.

But the forum members do take note. 

We cant go back through other posts as most of those topics have been deleted but I am sure that if we could, we may note that so many links indicating what were critical remarks, received a label of a personal attack.
