A bit less of the superlatives would help.

> ... talk about the ways in which climate change is a crime against our children.

For example, how is this phrase supposed to work, rhetorically. Shaming people into joining your cause?



Don't you think it is funny that you are doing the same thing people are doing to Thunberg?

I do not believe that it would help. Respectability politics does not have an especially strong track record. Complaints merely shift.

I believe very deeply that climate change is a crime against our children. This is not me hyperbolizing.


I get it, your beliefs are strong, so must be your politics. Its somehow my fault for not liking your methods.

Gnah, just find your supporters elsewhere...


I will. I am not demanding that you end up as a supporter. What I'm saying is that I do not expect that me choosing different words would make you a supporter even if I tried.
