This girl who now is a woman came to my school this year and honestly? she is so nice and what she did was so brave and I admire her so much for what she did and is still doing:)

Or religious fucks thinking "oh well only God can save us, we can't do anything about it."

You really should learn to read what is written instead of what you want to here! Let me say it this way. If you as an individual decide to commit suicide in the middle of a super market, I would rather that you not kill everyone else around you as well! That does not mean that I hate your or that I want you to die! It simply means that I am concerned with those around you who have no part in your decision. If humanity wants to commit environmental suicide, I just wish we could do it alone!

I only posted the following replies in the interest of historical and factual accuracy and to stand up to some of the nonsense being posted here. Name calling and labels are one of the first indications that a person is either misinformed or under-informed for various reasons that are usually self inflicted. Use a little critical thinking and do a little research. To quote "Mark Twain" "it isn't that people know too much, its that people know so much that just ain't so"

Capitalism and fascism have always been able to co-exist quite well! Look no further that Nazi Germany or Fascist Spain and Italy. To believe that fascism is somehow the enemy of capitalism simply ignores history. Henry Ford once contributed to Hitlers election campaign and Texaco promised Franco unlimited oil for his military. Benito Mussolini, once said that Fascism should be more correctly called corporatism because it is the joining of political and corporate power!

The historical record is quite unambiguous in showing that humanity reigns supreme as the most environmentally destructive species ever to exist on the planet. Also, if you believe that capitalism's requirement for endless growth is sustainable on a planet with finite resources, you must also believe that it is possible to continuously take more money out of your bank account than you are putting in and never run out of money. Opinions and beliefs are not the same thing as facts!

Actually, we can bring back extinct species, similarly as to how Jurassic Park showed us. We are working on bringing back the woolly mammoth

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Says the man who wishes everyone would die. If you really believed this, of course, you would be feeding the plants, not commenting on YouTube. In fact you want those you disapprove of to die. You are just a fascist, in fact. Born too late; many anti-capitalists and environmentalists supported fascism in the 1930s.

You really are revolting. You are a disgusting, ignorant creature. You parrot the talking point of the self-righteous, arrogant men and women who have made comfortable lives out of destroying the lives of others.

Free-market apitalism is the best thing that ever happened to the environment. Look at what Vaclav Klaus said, he saw the alternative.

It is poverty, socialism and corporatism (often confused with free-markets) that destroy the world.

Resources are plentiful.

Hahhahaha

You really are an idiot, aren't you? People get assassinated for standing up to the powerful. She was saying what they want to be said. She, like all the enviro-fascists, is just another tool of the wealthy and the self-righteous political elites.

Right, a Suzuki. Related to the corrupt, anti-humanist creep, I suppose.
